PREFACE. 


In  the  following  pages  an  effort  has  been  made  to  realize  the  idea  of  the  editor 
and  projector,  viz. :  to  present  in  a  single  volume  a  record  of  the  Church  of  Chris- 
tendom in  all  its  details.  In  the  prosecution  of  his  task,  however,  the  writer, 
though  prepared  at  the  outset  for  some  disappointment,  has  had  an  addition  to 
his  experience  in  the  fact  that  it  is  more  easy  to  undertake  an  enterprise  than  to 
accomplish  it.  Applications  for  information  and  facts,  in  many  quarters,  were  not 
met  so  generously  as  he  anticipated ;  in  others,  perhaps  from  not  wholly  under- 
standing the  scope  and  aim  of  his  work,  they  were  treated  with  silence  and  in- 
difference; while  in  not  a  few,  they  were  regarded  as  impertinent.  But  he  has 
great  satisfaction  in  adding  that  by  far  the  greater  number  of  his  applications 
were  cheerfully  and  promptly  responded  to ;  if  not  in  all  cases  as  fully  as  he 
could  wish,  at  least  with  a  generous  cheerfulness  that  he  shall  never  forget. 

The  result  of  his  labors  is  before  the  reader.  It  does  not  meet  his  original 
expectations;  but  he  takes  courage  in  the  hope  that  when  churches  and  societies 
perceive  the  design  and  character  of  his  publication,  they  will  feel  a  common  in- 
terest in  its  welfare,  and  generously  contribute  such  facts  and  information  as  will 
make  it  complete  and  authentic,  and  interesting  to  the  Church  generally,  for  the 
sake  of  the  common  good. 

Our  aim  is  to  make  a  work  giving  all  the  current  facts  of  Christendom,  from 
year  to  year,  for  general  reference.  These  ought  to  comprise  everything  of  in- 
terest to  Christians  generally — for  example,  the  statistics,  institutions,  clergy, 
literature,  yearly  history,  and  names  and  post-office  address  of  workers  in  every 
department  of  every  denomination  throughout  the  Christian  world.  It  will  be 
manifest  that  the  frequent  changes  in  the  ministry  render  it  difficult  to  ascer- 
tain, in  many  instances,  their  post-office  address.  A  letter  addressed  to  their 
late  post-office  will  generally  reach  them.  In  this,  our  first  effort  and  first  volume, 
we  have  come  far  short.  Still  we  have  accomplished  something,  and  gained  in  the 
effort  an  experience  that  gives  us  hope  of  a  nearer  approximation  in  our  next. 

Desiring  to  make  the  Record  a  complete  work  of  reference  on  all  subjects  of 
interest  to  the  Church,  we  earnestly  invite  all  who  feel  an  interest  in  the  estab- 


4  PREFACE. 

lishment  and  permanency  of  an  authentic  record  of  the  Church,  in  all  its  depart* 
ments,  to  send  to  the  editor,  care  of  the  publishers,  whatever  information  may 
contribute  to  that  end.  Minutes  of  all  religious  bodies,  large  and  small ;  changes 
in  the  ministry;  ordinations  and  installations;  deaths  of  clergymen;  cbanges  of 
post-office  address ;  lists  of  collegiate  and  theological  professors  and  students ; 
reports  of  religious  and  benevolent  societies ;  reports  and  proceedings  of  individual 
churches,  will  be  especially  welcome,  and  their  receipt  and  source,  when  so  de- 
sired, carefully  acknowledged ;  while  we  shall  be  grateful  for  any  and  every  sug- 
gestion or  item  of  information  that  may  be  made  useful  in  the  prosecution  of  our 
enterprise.     Who  will  generously  respond? 

In  the  preparation  of  the  present  volume,  we  are  under  obligations  to  the 
secretaries  of  very  many  religious  and  benevolent  societies,  whose  politeness  and 
attention  we  appreciate  but  cannot  sufficiently  express ;  to  the  general  religious 
press,  whose  columns  we  have  carefully  scanned,  and  from  which  we  have  gleaned 
much ;  to  the  stated  clerks  of  several  religious  associations,  whose  promptitude 
and  courtesy  we  should  be  glad  to  acknowledge  in  plainer  terms,  did  time  and 
space  permit ;  to  the  annual  publications  of  many  church  bodies  ;  to  various 
Church  Histories,  "Appleton's  Encyclopedia,"  the  "Religious  Encyclopedia"  (press 
of  Lippincott  &  Co.,  Philadelphia),  "Rupp's  History  of  Denominations,"  &c. ;  and 
last,  though  not  least,  to  the  acknowledged  organs  of  the  various  denominations 
and  benevolent  societies,  from  whose  columns,  opulent  with  valuable  facts,  we 
have  gathered  bounteous  stores. 

In  conclusion,  we  earnestly  repeat  our  invitation  to  clergymen,  officers  of  re- 
ligious bodies,  editors  of  religious  periodicals,  collegiate  and  theological  professors, 
and  all  who  in  any  way  have  to  do  with  the  moral  and  religious  interests  of  men, 
to  send  us  minutes,  reports,  statistics,  and  their  own  post-office  address,  at  home 
or  abroad,  that  our  next  issue  may  more  worthily  represent  the  great  interest 
and  lever  of  the  wrorld.

OF   THE 


UNITED  STATES  AND  THEIR  BELIEFS. 


ADVENTISTS. 


Adventists,  or,  as  they  are  sometimes  termed,  Second  Adventists,  owe  their  rise 
as  a  body  in  the  United  States  mainly  to  William  Miller,  of  Low  Hampton,  N.  Y., 
who,  in  1833,  commenced  lecturing  on  the  speedy  coming  of*  the  Lord,  which  event, 
he  sought  to  show  from  the  holy  Scriptures,  would  occur  about  1843.  The  earnest- 
ness of  his  manner,  his  evident  familiarity  with  the  Scriptures  and  with  history,  and 
the  bold  confidence  with  which  he  proclaimed  his  views,  made  so  deep  and  wide  an 
impression,  that  he  every  where  left  in  his  wake  large  numbers  examining  the  evi- 
dences for  themselves.  Among  these,  Joseph  V.  Hines,  a  minister  of  the  Christian 
connexion,  having  become  a  believer,  commenced,  in  1840,  without  subscribers  or 
funds,  the  publication  of  a  semi-monthly  journal  entitled,  Signs  of  the  Times  and 
Exposition  of  Prophecy,  which,  meeting  with  readers  whose  number  steadily  in- 
creased, he,  two  years  later,  issued  weekly,  under  the  title  of  the  Advent  Herald,  and 
which  aided  largely  in  disseminating  the  doctrines  of  the  Adventists,  who  now  com- 
prised many  thousands,  in  the  United  States,  British  America  and  Great  Britain. 
This,  journal,  still  published,  in  Boston,  Mass.,  together  with  the  labors  of  Mr.  Miller, 
who  gave  his  time,  his  energies,  and  his  property  to  the  extension  of  his  views,  and 
the  efforts  of  numerous  proselytes  that  every  where  rose  up,  soon  established  great 
numbers  in  a  belief  in  the  general  correctness  of  Mr.  Miller's  interpretation  of  the 
prophecies  and  in  leading  them  to  look  for  the  personal  appearing  of  the  Lord,  which, 
though  disappointed  at  the  time  set  and  frequently  from  time  to  time  since,  they  still 
confidently  believe  to  be  very  near. 

Though  not  so  numerous  as  formerly,  their  aggregate  number  is  still  respectable, 
and  their  efforts  for  the  dissemination  of  their  convictions  generous  and  unfaltering. 
While  as  a  body  they  make  little  or  no  pretension  to  influence.as  individuals  they  are 
necessarily  close  Bible  students ;  are  liberal  according  to  their  means,  to  the  poor  and 
for  the  support  of  the  gospel ;  and  noticeable  in  the  main  for  the  modesty  and  upright- 
ness of  their  walk  and  their  careful  conformity  to  the  virtues  and  to  law. 

They  as  a  body,  accept  the  great  leading  doctrines  of  the  evangelical  church,  such 
as  the  divinity  of  Christ,  his  sacrifice  and  atonement  for  sin,  the  doctrine  of  future 
and  eternal  rewards  and  punishments,  and  are  distinguished  only  for  their  peculiar 
belief  in  the  personal  coming  of  Christ,  and  his  bodily  reign  with  his  saints  on  the 
earth. 


22  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

They  have  no  creed  nor  form  of  discipline  other  than  the  Word  ot  God,  which  they 
regard  as  a  sufficient  rule  of  faith  and  duty. 

They  hold  conferences  as  often  as  it  is  deemed  necessary  for  the  discussion  of  such 
subjects  and  measures  as  the  interests  of  the  cause  may  demand.  These  are  consti- 
tuted both  of  ministerial  and  lay  members,  are  purely  voluntary  and  advisory,  and 
claim  to  exercise  no  authority  over  the  conscience  of  any. 

In  round  numbers,  they  are  supposed  to  comprise  from  fifteen  to  twenty  thousand, 
scattered  over  all  the  States  of  the  Union,  in  which  estimate  those  in  the  different 
chnrches,  who  are  numerous,  are  not  included. 

A  distinguishing  feature  in  their  history  was  their  confidence  in  the  second  advent 
of  Christ  about  1843,  in  which  year  they  believed  the  prophetic  periods  would  termi- 
nate. The  main  argument  on  which  they  rested  was  that  relative  to  the  termination 
of  the  2300  days  in  Dan.  viii.  14,  which  they  regarded  as  years.  Then  considering  the 
seventy  weeks  in  Dan.  ix.  24,  as  the  key  to  the  date  of  the  2300  days  of  the  preced- 
ing chapter,  and  dating  the  periods  B.  C.  457,  when  Artaxerxes,  king  of  Persia,  sent 
up  Ezra  from  his  captivity,  to  restore  the  Jewish  polity  at  Jerusalem  (Ezra,  chap.  7), 
and  ending  the'  seventy  weeks,  as  commentators  generally  do,  in  A.  D.  33,  with  the 
crucifixion  of  Christ,  they  found  the  remainder  of  the  2300  days,  which  was  1810, 
wound  end  in  1843.  The  argument,  many  beside  Adventists,  thought  a  reasonable 
one,  but  the  result  proved  it  erroneous,  without,  however,  shaking  their  confidence 
in  the  belief  that  the  coming  of  the  Lord  is  at  the  door. 

GENERAL   DOCTRINES   OF   BELLEF. 

1.  They  cannot  see,  if  according  to  Isa.  vii.  14,  Christ  was  foretold  to  be  born  of 
a  virgin,  and  it  came  to  pass,  Matt.  i.  18-25;  if,  as  foretold  (Micah,  v.  2),  Christ  was 
literally  born  in  Bethlehem  (Matt.  ii.  1);  if,  as  foretold  (Dan.  ix.  26),  Messiah  came 
at  the  expiration  of  seven  weeks  and  sixty-two  weeks  (Mark,  i.  15),  and  if  after  the 
sixty-two  weeks  Messiah  was  literally  cut  off;  if,  as  foretold  (Isa.  liii.  8,  9),  he  was 
cut  off  out  of  the  land  of  the  living  for  the  transgression  of  his  people,  and  made  his 
grave  with  the  wicked  and  with  the  rich  in  his  death;  if  (Ps.  xvi.  10)  Christ's  soul 
was  not  left  in  hell,  nor  did  his  flesh  see  corruption ;  if  (Ps.  ex.  1)  Christ  did  sit  on 
the  right  hand  of  God.  and  is  to  sit  there  till  his  enemies  be  made  his  footstool : — If 
all  these  predictions  have  literally  come  to  pass,  and  they  think  they  have,  then  they 
cannot  see  ground  for  doubting  that  the  same  rule  will  be  observed  in  the  fulfilment 
of  all  other  grounds  relating  to  Christ. 

2.  Prophecy  (Gen.  xxii.  18)  foretells  Christ  as  the  seed  of  Abraham,  in  whom  all 
the  families  of  the  earth  shall  be  blessed.  It  also  promises  to  the  seed  of  Abraham, 
all  the  land  of  Canaan,  for  an  everlasting  possession,  in  connection  with  Abraham 
himself  (Gen.  xvii.  S);  hence  the  land  is  called  Emanuel's  land  (Isa.  viii.  8)..  But, 
when  Christ  was  on  earth,  he  had  not  where  to  lay  his  head.  Therefore,  he  must 
return  personally  to  inherit  it. 

3.  Christ  is  the  predicted  Son  of  David,  who  is  to  sit  forever  on  David's  throne ; 
he  is  the  Son  of  David  according  to  the  flesh  (Ps.  exxxii.  11).  But.  while  on  earth, 
he  never  sat  on  David's  throne.  He  went  to  Jerusalem,  as  foretold,  on  an  ass's  colt; 
claimed  his  rights,  and  was  proclaimed  king  by  the  children,  but  rejected  by  the 
rulers  (Matt.  xxi.).  Hence,  he  must  return  to  enjoy  his  kingdom  and  reign  over  the 
house  of  Jacob  for  ever  (Luke  i.  32,  33). 

4.  Christ  has  the  promise  of  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  for  his  possession 
(Ps.  ii.  8);  but  he  never  yet  had  it.  Therefore,  he  must  come  back  to  earth  to 
possess  it. 

5.  Prophecy  (Dan.  vii.  13,  14)  points  out  the  coming  of  Christ  to  receive  his  king- 
dom and  dominion  over  all  nations,  to  be  in  the  "clouds  of  heaven."     But  he  has 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  23 

never  yet  come  thus.     He  must,  therefore,  fulfil  the  prediction  in  futurity,  at  his 
second  advent.     He  cannot  have  universal  dominion  till  he  does. 

6.  Christ  rose  from  the  dead  in  the  identical  body  in  which  he  was  crucified  and 
buried  and  was  so  identified  (John,  xx.  24-31).     TIiopp  who  thus  identified  his  per- 

>  son,  of  flesh  and  bones,  saw  him  go  from  earth  up  into  heaven,  and  a  cloud  received 
him  out  of  their  sight.     They  were  told  by  divine  messengers  that  this  same  Jesus 
whom  they  saw  go  into  heaven,  "  shall  so  come  back  again  in  like  manner"  (Acts,  i! 

7.  That  the  second  advent  will  be  pre-millennial.  First,  Because  the  millennial 
reign  is  placed  after  the  first  resurrection  (Rev.  xx.  1-6),  which  cannot  be  till  the 
second  advent  of  Christ.  [Those  who  have  part  in  the  first  resurrection  are  saints, 
and  will  hve  forever.  The  second  death  has  no  power  on  them.  But  thev  that  are 
Christ  s.  are  to  be  raised  at  his  coming;  and  that  is  the  order  of  the  resurrection  to 
follow  Christ  s  resurrection  (1  Cor.  xv.  23).  Christ's  coming,  and  the  resurrection  of 
the  just,  must  therefore  precede  the  millennial  reign.]  Second,  Because  the  millen- 
nial period  follows  the  casting  the  beast  and  the  false  prophet  into  the  lake  of  fire 
and  the  shutting  up  of  the  Devil  in  the  bottomless  pit  (Rev.  six.  20  and  xx  1-3)' 
third,  Because,  thus,  before  the  millennium  all  the  great  anti-christian  powers  are  to 
be  put  down.  The  man  of  sin,  however,  the  son  of  perdition,  is  only  to  be  destroyed 
by  the  brightness  of  Christ's  coming  (2  Thess.  ii.  8).  The  coming  of  Christ,  for'his 
destruction,  must,  therefore,  be  pre-millennial. 

8.  That  there  will  be  two  resurrections,  a  thousand  years  apart,  viz-  the  "first 
resurrection,"  "the  resurrection  of  life,"  "the  resurrection  of  the  just;"  and  the  "re- 
surrection of  the  rest  of  the  dead,"  the  "resurrection  of  damnation,"  the  "resurrec- 
tion of  the  unjust." 

9.  That  the  general  view  that  the  Millennium  will  be  a  thousand  years  of  peace  and 
be  introduced  by  the  conversion  of  the  world  to  Christ,  and  consist  in  his  universal 
spiritual  reign :  and  the  Millennarian  view  that  though  Christ  will  come  and  reien 
personally  on  earth  during  the  Millennium,  yet  that  that  period  will  be  one  of  proba- 
tion, m  which  the  heathen  who  had  never  heard  of  Christ,  and  the  Jews  who  have 
been  cut  oft  during  the  Christian  dispensation,  will  have  the  Gospel  preached  to  them 
and  be  converted,  are  both  unscriptural  and  not  to  be  received,  because  both  the 
general  and  the  specific  teachings  of  the  Bible  are  against  it.     Thus,  the  dream  of 
Nebuchadnezzar  (Dan.  ii.),  foretells  four  universal  empires  which  are  to  fill  up  the 
period  from  then  till  the  everlasting  kingdom  of  God  comes  and  destroys  them  and 
fills  the  whole  earth.     But  there  can  be  no  everlasting  kingdom  without  immortality 
winch  cannot  be  till  the  resurrection  at  the  second  advent  of  Christ      The  seventh 
chapter  of  Daniel  presents,  in  vision,  the  same  four  empires,  with  the  divisions  and 
successions  ot  the  fourth  empire,  which  only  end  (verses  13,  14),  when  the  Son  of 
Man  comes  in  the  clouds  of  heaven  to  receive  his  everlasting  dominion,  which  is  also 
universal.     Till  the  judgment,  the  little  blasphemous  horn  wears  out  the  saints  and 
prevails  against  them.     So,  also,  in  the  24th  of  Matthew— the  course  of  events 'from 
the  time  of  Christ  to  his  second  coming,  and  the  end  of  the  world  is  given      There 
were  to  be  wars,  famines,  pestilences,  persecutions  of  the  saints,  false  prophets  false 
Uirists,  abominations,  great  tribulations,  mournings  by  all  the  tribes  of  the  earth  the 
preaching  of  His  Gospel  to  all  the  world  for  a  witness  to  all  nations,  and  then  the 
end  should  come,  and  they  see  the  Son  of  Man  coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven  with 
power  and  great  glory.     There  is  no  peace  in  the  prediction  till  he  comes      There- 
lore,  he  will  come  personally  to  judge  the  world  and  reign,  and  not  spiritually  to 
convert  and  save  the  world.     The  tares  and  wheat,  too  (the  righteous  and  wicked) 
are  to  grow  together  till  the  end  of  the  world  or  age,  and  then  they  are  to  be  cast  off 
ana  punished,  and  the  other  glorified  in  the  kingdom  of  God  (Matt.  xiii.  24-43)     For 


24  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

these  and  many  other  reasons,  tbey  cannot  believe  in  the  conversion  of  the  world 
before  the  second  advent  of  the  Saviour. 

10.  That  the  thousand  years  will  be  one  of  judgment  rather  than  probation.  For 
they  read  in  the  second  Psalm  that  when  the  heathen  are  given  to  Christ  for  his 
inheritance,  and  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  for  his  possession,  that  he  is  to  break 
or  rule  them  (Rev.  xii.  5,  and  ii.  27),  with  a  rod  of  iron,  and  dash  them  in  pieces  like 
a  potter's  vessel,  which  they  consider  to  be  any  thing  else  beside  conversion.  They 
also  read  in  psalm  cxlix,  that  all  the  saints  will  "  bind  their  kings  with  chains,  and 
their  nobles  with  fetters  of  iron,  and  execute  upon  them  the  judgments  written." 
From  Isa.  lx.,  and  Zech.  xiv.,  they  likewise  learn  that  the  worship  and  service  of  the 
heathen  will  be  compulsory  service. 

11.  That  final  and  eternal  retribution  will  be  awarded  to  all  nations  when  the  Son 
of  Man  comes  in  his  glory  (Matt.  xxv.  and  Luke  xiii.). 

12.  That  the  promises  made  to  Israel  of  a  yet  future  and  final  gathering  to  the  land 
of  Canaan,  will  be  literally  accomplished,  and  Israel  forever  dwell  there  in  peace.  But 
that  this  cannot  be  fulfilled  before  the  resurrection  of  the  just,  when  the  believing 
remnant  of  Israel,  of  every  generation,  including  Abraham,  Isaac,  and  Jacob,  will  be 
raised  from  the  dead,  and  restored  to  their  own  land.  This,  Ezekiel  xxxvii.  declares 
\vill  be  the  way  the  whole  house  of  Israel  will  be  restored ;  "  I  will  open  your  graves, 
and  bring  you  up  out  of  your  graves,  and  bring  you  into  your  own  land."  The  resur- 
rection, according  to  Paul,  is  "  the  hope  of  Israel."  But  if  the  resurrected  and  glori- 
fied Israel  are  to  have  tho  land  and  dwell  there  forever,  the  Jews  in  rlesh  and  blood, 
as  a  nation,  cannot  have  it  forever.  All  the  promises,  however,  of  a  future  return, 
promise  an  everlasting  possession  of  the  land.  But  mortal  Jews  cannot  possess  it 
forever — glorified  and  immortal  ones  can.     Therefore,  they  are  the  heirs  of  promise. 

13.  That  the  coming  of  the  Lord  is  at  the  door  for  the  following  reasons,  viz.  : 
First,  The  four  great  empires  are  to  be  succeeded  by  the  kingdom  of  God ;  and  it  is 
very  manifest  that  the  last — the  Roman  Government — has  passed  its  predicted 
divisions,  and  must  soon  end.  Second,  The  waning  of  the  Ottoman  or  Mohammedan 
power  is  another  index  pointing  to  the  speedy  coming  of  the  kingdom  of  Christ. 
Third.  The  universal  movements  and  agitations,  the  famines,  pestilences,  and  earth- 
quakes, the  wars  and  rumors  of  wars,  together  with  the  signs  in  the  sun,  moon,  and 
stars,  etc..  etc.,  are  conclusive  evidence  of  His  speedy  approach.  Fourth,  The  Gospel, 
which  was  to  be  preached  in  all  the  world,  for  a  witness  to  all  nations,  is  now  com- 
pleting its  work. 

14.  That  the  Advent  Doctrine,  embracing,  as  it  does,  the  resurrection  of  the  body, 
the  personal  and  visible  appearance  and  reign  of  Christ  on  earth,  the  restitution  of 
the  heavens  and  earth  to  their  paradisical  state,  as  the  eternal  inheritance  of  the 
saints,  etc.,  as  the  only  view  which  will  explain  and  harmonize  the  word  of  God. 


BAPTISTS 

The  Baptists  claim  to  outnumber  the  adherents  of  any  other  persuasion  in  the 
United  States.  They  are  various,  however,  in  doctrine,  and  divided  into  ten 
separate  schools,  to  wit :  1.  Baptists  ;  2.  Free  Will  Baptists  ;  3.  Free  Communion 
Baptists  ;  4.  Old  School  Baptists  ;  5.  Six  Principle  Baptists  ;  6.  German  Baptists,  or 
Brethren;  7.  River  Brethren;  8.  English  Seventh  Day  Baptists;  9.  German  Seventh 
Day  Baptists ;   10.  Christian  Connexion.

REGULAR  BAPTISTS. 

At  Newport,  R.  I.,  in  March,  1639,  was  formed  by  Roger  Williams,  and  about 
ten  others,  the  first  Baptist  Church  in  America ;  in  1663,  at  Swansea,  the  first  in 
Massachusetts;  in  1688,  at  Middletown,  the  first  in  New  Jersey ;  in  1689,  at  Dublin, 
the  first  in  Pennsylvania;  in  1690,  at  Charleston,  the  first  in  South  Carolina;  in  1701, 
tat  "Welsh  Track,  the  first  in  Delaware;  in  1705,  at  Groton,  the  first  in  Connecticut; 
in  1714,  in  Prince  George  County,  the  first  in  Virginia;  in  1741,  at  Oyster  Bay, 
I,ong  Island,  the  first  in  New  York  State;  in  1762,  John  Gaxs,  Minister,  the  first  in 
New  York  City.  Numerous  others  were  originated  and  built  up  in  various  other 
localities  by  ministers  and  others  from  England,  Ireland,  Wales,  and  Holland,  who 
had  belonged  to  Baptist  Societies  in  their  own  land.  From  these  humble  beginnings, 
"  what  hath  God  wrought?" 

Baptism. — Of  the  various  schools  of  Baptists,  the  Regular  is  by  far  the  largest.  It 
claims  to  be  the  only  truly  scriptural  church,  both  in  doctrine  and  government, 
acknowledges  no  confession  of  faith  but  that  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  and  no  head 
other  than  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  While  differing  from  most  other  evangelical 
denominations  in  church  government  and  discipline,  it  harmonizes  with  them  in  all 
the  great  leading  doctrines,  and  is  only  at  issue  with  them  principally  on  the  subject 
of  baptism,  with  which  it  also  associates  close  communion,  as  inseparably  connected 
with  it  both  in  spirit  and  in  fact. 

It  ignores  infant  baptism  as  useless  and  absurd ;  taking  the  broad  ground  that  in 
so  important  a  matter  as  church  relationship,  the  understanding  and  the  will  of  the 
individual  should  be  consulted,  which  cannot  be  the  case  with  baptized  infants,  who 
cannot  be  supposed  to  comprehend  the  character  or  significance  of  the  rite,  and  in 
most  cases  are  unaware  of  their  participancy  in  it  at  all. 

It  regards  Baptism  as  a  command  of  the  Saviour's  which  has  never  been  put  aside, 
and  with  which  it  is  the  duty  of  every  regenerate  person  to  comply ;  fading  in  which 
he  or  she  cannot  be  said  to  have  performed  one  of  the  Lord's  plainest  commands, 
aud  therefore  is  unfit  to  sit  at  His  table  in  the  Lord's  supper,  and  Baptists  will  not 
commune  with  such.  They  deny  that  they  exclude  any  from  the  communion  table  ; 
asserting,  on  the  contrary,  that  they  who  have  not  complied  with  the  Lord's  order 
in  this  particular,  thereby  exclude  themselves.  Nor  yet  will  they  commune  even 
with  Baptists  of  other  schools  that  believe  in  free  communion  and  permit  unbaptized 
persons  at  the  Lord's  table.  In  both  these  cases,  they  claim  that  they  only  adhere 
to  the  tenor  of  the  Lord's  command,  and  to  that  spirit  of  order  which  should  pre- 
eminently characterize  the  children  of  His  house. 

It  views  the  immersion  of  the  whole  person  as  the  only  legitimate  form  of  baptism, 
holding  sprinkling  to  be  a  departure  from  the  scriptural  mode  and  as  barren  m  effect 
as  if  it  had  not  been  performed  at  all. 

It  accords  baptism  only  to  those  who  make  a  public  profession  of  their  faith  in  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  of  having,  on  repentence,  received  the  baptism  of  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

It  denies  communion  with  even  baptized  persons  that  walk  disorderly  and  contrary 
to  the  Gospel ;  and  will  have  no  fellowship  at  the  Lord's  table  with  immersed  mem- 
bers of  churches  that  practice  sprinkling,  because  such  walk  disorderly  by  holding 
membership  in  and  walking  in  fellowship  with  churches  which  receive  sprinkling 
instead  of  baptism.  For  the  same  reason,  Baptists  decline  to  commune  in  churches 
that  practice  sprinkling. 

Church  Government. — Each  separate  church  or  society  is  entirely  independent 
of  all  other  churches,  persons,  and  bodies,  civil  or  ecclesiastical,  and  is  governed  by 
its  own  members,  who  alone  have  any  voice  or  action  in  its  affairs.  Baptists  there- 
fore hold  that  churches  governed  by  popes,  bishops,  synods,  presbyteries,  conferences, 


26  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD, 

or  in  any  other  way  than  by  their  own  members,  directly  and  exclusively,  are  not 
constituted  on  the  model  of  the  primitive  churches,  nor  governed  by  the  Gospel  rule. 
Baptists  admit  of  only  two  scriptural  officers — pastor,  (variously  called  in  the  New 
Testament  "bishop,"  "overseer/'  "presbyter,"  and  "elder,")  and  deacons.  Hence 
they  claim  that  all  churches  which  have  more  than  two  orders  of  officers  have  de- 
parted from  the  Gospel  rule  and  the  practice  of  the  primitive  churches. 

Meetings. — Baptist  societies,  where  the  business  and  habits  of  their  members  will 
admit  of  it,  have  weekly,  beside  the  services  on  the  Sabbath,  three  or  more  meetings, 
which,  usually,  run  thus :  Monday  evening,  inquiry  meeting — for  inquirers  ;  Wednes- 
day evening,  lectiue,  by  the  pastor ;  Friday  evening,  prayer-meeting. 

They  have,  also,  once  a  month,  a  church  meeting,  for  the  transaction  of  the  business 
of  the  church,  such  as  hearing  the  experience  of  converts  desirous  of  becoming  mem- 
bers ;  disciplining  disorderly  members ;  taking  action  upon  officers,  the  pecuniary 
affairs  of  the  society,  &c.  This  meeting  usually  takes  the  place  of  the  prayer-meet- 
ing for  the  week  in  which  it  is  held. 

Pastoral  Associations. — Baptist  clergymen  in  every  district  have  private  monthly 
meetings  for  prayer,  mutual  watch,  care,  and  interchange  of  pastoral  experience,  at 
which  ministerial  plans  of  action  are  freely  discussed  and  determined,  a  careful* eye 
kept  upon  the  social  and  religious  status  of  each  member,  and  the  character  of  and 
avenues  to  the  ministry  guarded  with  exceeding  vigilance. 

Benevolent  Societies. — The  benevolent  societies  of  this  school  are  numerous, 
important,  and  generously  sustained.  They  consist,  principally,  of — 1.  The  American 
Baptist  Missionary  Union,  established  May  18,  1814;  2.  The  American  Baptist  Pub- 
lication Society,  established  Feb.  20,  1824;  3.  American  Baptist  Home  Mission  Soci- 
ety, established  April  27,  1832;  4.  American  and  Foreign  Bible  Society,  established 
May  12,  18156;  5.  American  Baptist  Free  Mission  Society,  established  May  31,  1843; 
6.  Southern  Baptist  Convention,  established  May  8,  1845;  7.  Southern  Baptist  Pub- 
lication Society,  established  May  13,  1847 ;  8.  Various  educational  institutions,  for 
aiding  indigent  but  worthy  young  men  for  the  ministry;  9.  American  Bible  Union, 
established  June  10,  1850. 

Periodical  Literature. — Among  American  Baptists  are  thirty-two  weekly  relig- 
ious journals,  fourteen  monthly,  and  two  quarterly  issues,  of  which  the  larger  pro- 
portion derive  their  support  chiefly  from  the  regular  school. 

Institutions  of  Learning. — Thirty-four  colleges,  twelve  theological  seminaries,  and 
various  minor  schools,  owe  their  existence  and  support  to  this  very  large  denomi- 
nation of  Christians. 

The  numerical  strength  of  Regular  Baptists,  so  far  as  can  be  ascertained,  is  a3 
follows:  Associations,  570;  Churches,  11,600;  Ordained  Ministers,  7,150;  Members, 
925,000. 

Though  B.egular  Baptists  accept  of  no  authority  other  than  the  Bible,  for  their  faith 
and  practice,  yet  most  of  the  societies  have  a  confession  of  faith  in  pamphlet  form  for 
distribution  among  its  members.  The  following  form,  generally  known  as  the  "  New 
Hampshire  Confession  of  Faith,"  is  in  general  use  among  the  societies  North  and 
East,  while  the  "Philadelphia  Confession  of  Faith"  is  that  generally  adopted  at  the 
South.     We  give  both : 

CONFESSION    OF    FAITH    OF   REGULAR    BAPTISTS,    NORTH    AND    EAST. 

1.  The  Scriptures. — We  believe  that  the  Holy  Bible  was  written  by  men  divinely 
inspired,  and  is  a  perfect  treasure  of  heavenly  instruction ;  that  it  has  God  for  its 
author,  salvation  for  its  end,  and  truth  without  any  mixture  of  error  for  its  matter ; 
that  it  reveals  the  principles  by  which  God  will  judge  us ;  and  therefore  is,  and  shall 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  27 

repaain  to  the  end  of  the  world,  the  true  centre  of  Christian  union,  and  the  supreme 
standard  by  which  all  human  conduct,  creeds,  and  opinions  should  be  tried. 

2.  The  true  God. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  there  is  one,  and  only 
out-,  living  and  true  God,  an  infinite,  intelligent  Spirit,  whose  name  is  Jehovah,  the 
Maker  and  Supreme  Ruler  of  Heaven  and  Earth;  inexpressibly  glorious  in  holiness, 
and  worthy  of  all  possible  honor,  confidence,  and  love;  that  in  the  unity  of  the  God- 
head there  :tre  three  persons,  the  Father,  the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Ghost;  equal  in 
every  divine  perfection,  and  executing  distinct  but  harmonious  offices  in  the  great 
work  of  redemption. 

3.  The  Fall  of  Man,. — "We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  man  was  created  in 
holiness,  under  the  law  of  his  Maker;  but  by  voluntary  transgression  fell  from  that 
holy  and  happy  state ;  in  consequence  of  which  all  mankind  are  now  sinners,  not  by 
constraint  but  choice;  being  hy  nature  utterly  void  of  that  holiness  required  by  the 
few  of  God.  positively  inclined  to  evil,  and  therefore  under  just  condemnation  to 
eternal  ruin,  without  defence  or  excuse. 

\.  The  Way  of  Salvation. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  the  salvation  of 
sinners  is  wholly  of  grace;  through  the  mediatorial  offices  of  the  Son  of  God;  who 
by  the  appointment  of  the  Father,  freely  took  upon  him  our  nature,  yet  without  sin; 
honored  the  diviue  law  by  his  personal  obedience,  and  by  his  death  made  a  full  atone- 
ment for  our  sins;  that  having  risen  from  the  dead,  he  is  now  enthroned  in  heaven; 
and  uniting  in  his  wonderful  person  the  tenderest  sympathies  with  divine  perfections, 
he  is  every  way  qualified  to  be  a  suitable,  a  compassionate,  and  an  all-sufficient 
Saviour. 

5.  Justification. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  the  great  Gospel  blessing 
which  Christ  secures  to  such  as  believe  in  him  is  justification;  that  justification  in- 
cludes the  pardon  of  sin,  and  the  promise  of  eternal  life  on  principles  of  righteous- 
ness; that  it  is  bestowed,  not  in  consideration  of  any  works  of  righteousness  which 
we  have  done,  but  solely  through  faith  in  the  Redeemer's  blood;  by  virtue  of  which 
faith  his  perfect  righteousness  is  freely  imputed  to  us  of  God  ;  that  it  brings  us  into 
a  state  of  most  blessed  peace  and  favor  with  God,  and  secures  every  other  blessing 
needful  tor  time  and  eternity. 

6.  Salvation. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  theJDlessings  of  salvation  are 
made  free  to  all  by  the  Gospel ;  that  it  is  the  immediate  duty  of  all  to  accept  them 
by  a  cordial,  penitent  and  obedient  faith ;  and  that  nothing  prevents  the  salvation  of 
the  greatest  sinner  on  earth,  but  his  own  determined  depravity  and  voluntary  rejec- 
tion of  the  Gospel ;  which  rejection  involves  him  in  an  aggravated  condemnation. 

7.  Regeneration. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  in  order  to  be  saved,  sin- 
ners must  be  regenerated,  or  born  again ;  that  regeneration  consists  in  giving  a  holy 
disposition  to  the  mind  ;  that  it  is  effected  in  a  manner  above  our  comprehension  by 
the  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  in  connection  with  divine  truth,  so  as  to  secure  our 
voluntary  obedience  to  the  Go3pel ;  and  that  its  proper  evidence  appears  in  the  holy 
fruits  of  repentance,  and  faith,  and  newness  of  life. 

8.  Repentance  and  Faith. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  repentance  and 
faith  are  sacred  duties,  and  also  inseparable  graces,  wrought  in  our  souls  by  the  re- 
generating Spirit  of  God ;  whereby  being  deeply  convinced  of  our  guilt,  danger  and 
helplessness,  and  of  the  way  of  salvation  by  Christ,  we  turn  to  God  with  tinfeigned 
contrition,  confession,  and  supplication  for  mercy ;  at  the  same  time  heartily  receiv- 
ing the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  as  our  prophet,  priest  and  king,  and  relying  on  him  alone 
as  the  only  and  all-sufficient  Saviour. 

9. —  Gods  Purpose  of  Grace. — We  believe  the  Scriptures,  teach  that  election  is  the 
eternal  purpose  of  God,  according  to  which  he  graciously  regenerates,  sanctifies,  and 
saves  sinners ;  that  being  perfectly  consistent  with  the  free  agency  of  man,  it  com- 
prehends all  the  means  in  connection  with  the  end ;  that  it  is  a  most  glorious  display 


38  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

of  God's  sovereign  goodness,  being  infinitely  free,  wise,  holy  and  unchangeable;  that 
it  utterly  excludes  boasting,  and  promotes  humility,  love,  prayer,  praise,  trust  in 
God,  and  active  imitation  of  his  free  mercy ;  that  it  encourages  the  use  of  means  in 
the  highest  degree  ;  that  it  may  be  ascertained  by  its  effects  in  all  who  truly  believe 
the  Gospel ;  that  it  is  the  foundation  of  Christian  assurance ;  and  that  to  ascertain  it 
with  regard  to  ourselves  demands  and  deserves  the  utmost  diligence. 

10.  Sanctijication. — "We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  sanctification  is  the  pro- 
cess by  which,  according  to  the  will  of  God,  we  are  made  partakers  of  his  holiness ; 
that  it  is  a  progressive  work ;  that  it  is  begun  in  regeneration  ;  and  that  it  is  carried 
on  in  the  hearts  of  believers  by  the  presence  and  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  the  Sealer 
and  Comforter,  in  the  continual  use  of  the  appointed  means— especially  the  word  of 
God,  self-examination,  self-denial,  watchfulness,  and  prayer. 

11.  Perseverance  of  Saints. — "We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  such  only  are 
real  believers  as  endure  unto  the  end ;  that  their  persevering  attachment  to  Christ  is 
the  grand  mark  winch  distinguishes  them  from  superficial  professors ;  that  a  special 
Providence  watches  over  their  welfare ;  and  they  are  kept  by  the  power  of  God 
through  faith  unto  salvation. 

12.  The  Law  and  Gospel. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  the  law  of  God  is 
the  eternal  and  unchangeable  rule  of  his  moral  government ;  that  it  is  holy,  just  and 
good ;  and  that  the  inability  which  the  Scriptures  ascribe  to  fallen  man  to  fulfill  its 
precepts,  arises  entirely  from  their  love  of  sin ;  to  deliver  them  from  which,  and  to 
restore  them  through  a  Mediator  to  unfeigned  obedience  to  the  holy  law,  is  one  great 
end  of  the  Gospel,  and  of  the  Means  of  Grace  connected  with  the  establishment  of 
the  visible  church. 

13.  A  Gospel  Church. — "We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  a  visible  church  of 
Christ  is  a  congregation  of  baptized  believers,  associated  by  covenant  in  the  faith 
and  fellowship  of  the  Gospel ;  observing  the  ordinances  of  Christ ;  governed  by  his 
laws ;  and  exercising  the  gifts,  rights,  and  privileges  invested  in  them  by  His  word 
that  its  only  scriptural  officers  are  bishops,  or  pastors,  and  deacons,  whose  qualifica- 
tions, claims  and  duties  are  defined  in  the  Epistles  to  Timothy  and  Titus. 

14.  Baptism  a?id  the  Lord's  Suppei'.  —  We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that 
Christian  Baptism  is  the  immersion  in  water  of  a  believer,  into  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost ;  to  show  forth  in  a  solemn  and  beautiful  emblem, 
our  faith  in  the  crucified,  buried,  and  risen  Saviour,  with  its  effect,  in  our  death  to  sin 
and  resurrection  to  a  new  life ;  that  it  is  pre-requisite  to  the  privileges  of  a  church 
relation ;  and  to  the  Lord's  Supper,  in  which  the  members  of  the  church,  by  the 
sacred  use  of  bread  and  wine,  are  to  commemorate  together  the  dying  love  of  Christ; 
preceded  always  by  solemn  self-examination.         , 

15.  The  Christian  Sabbath. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  the  first  day  of 
the  week  is  the  Lord's  Day,  or  Christian  Sabbath;  and  it  i3  to  be  kept  sacred  to  re- 
ligious purposes,  by  abstaining  from  all  secular  labor,  and  sinful  recreations,  by  the 
devout  observance  of  all  the  means  of  grace,  both  private  and  public,  and  by  prepar- 
ation for  that  rest  which  remaineth  for  the  people  of  God. 

16.  Civil  Government. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  civil  government  is 
of  divine  appointment,  for  the  interest  and  good  order  of  human  society ;  and  that 
magistrates  are  to  be  prayed  for,  conscientiously  honored  and  obeyed,  except  only  in 
things  opposed  to  the  will  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who  is  the  only  Lord  of  the  con- 
science, and  the  Prince  of  the  kings  of  the  earth. 

17.  Righteous  and  Wicked. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  there  is  a  radical 
and  essential  difference  between  the  righteous  and  the  wicked ;  that  such  only  as 
through  faith  are  justified  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  sanctified  by  the  Spirit 
of  our  God,  are  truly  righteous  in  his  esteem ;  while  all  such  as  continue  in  impetu- 


AMEK1UA3    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  29 

tence  and  unbelief  are,  in  his  sight,  wicked  and  under  the  curse ;  and  this  distinction 
holds  among  men  both  in  and  after  death. 

18.  The  World  to  Come. — We  believe  the  Scriptures  teach  that  the  end  of  the 
world  is  approaching ;  that  at  the  Last  Day,  Christ  will  descend  from  heaven,  and 
raise  the  dead  from  the  grave  for  final  retribution  ;  that  a  solemn  separation  will  then 
take  place ;  that  the  wicked  will  be  adjudged  to  endless  punishment,  and  ihe  right- 
eous to  endless  joy  ;  and  that  this  judgment  will  fix  forever  the  final  state  of  men  in 
heaven  or  hell,  on  principles  of  righteousness. 

19.  Covenant — Having  been,  as  we  trust,  brought  by  divine  grace  to  embrace  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  to  give  ourselves  wholly  to  him,  we  do  now  solemnly  and 
joyfully  covenant  with  each  other,  to  walk  together  in  him,  with  brotherly  love, 
to  his  glory  as  our  common  Lord.     We  do,  therefore,  in  his  strength,  engage — 

That  we  will  exercise  a  Christian  care  and  watchfulness  over  each  other,  and  faith- 
fully warn,  exhort,  and  admonish  each  other,  as  occasion  may  require : 

That,  we  will  not  forsake  the  assembling  of  ourselves  together,  but  will  uphold  the 
public  worship  of  God,  and  the  ordinances  of  his  house : 

That,  we  will  not  omit  closet  and  family  religion  at  home,  nor  neglect  the  great 
duty  of  religiously  training  our  children,  and  those  under  our  care,  for  the  service  of 
Christ,  and  the  enjoyment  of  heaven  : 

That,  as  we  are  the  light  of  the  world,  and  salt  of  the  earth,  we  will  seek  divine 
aid,  to  enable  us  to  deny  ungodliness,  and  every  worldly  lust,  and  to  walk  circum- 
spectly in  the  world,  that  we  may  win  the  souls  of  men : 

That,  we  will  cheerfully  contribute  of  our  property,  according  as  God  has  pros- 
pered us,  for  the  maintenance  of  a  faithful  and  evangelical  ministry  among  us,  for  the 
support  of  the  poor,  and  to  spread  the  Gospel  over  the  earth : 

That,  we  will,  in  all  conditions,  even  till  death,  strive  to  live  to  the  glory  of  him, 
who  hath  called  us  out  of  darkness  into  his  marvellous  light.  , 

"And  may  the  God  of  peace,  who  brought  again  from  the  dead  our  Lord  Jesus, 
that  great  shepherd  of  the  sheep,  through  the  blood  of  the  everlasting  covenant,  make 
us  perfect  in  every  good  work,  to  do  his  will,  working  in  us  that  which  is  well  pleas- 
ing in  his  sight,  through  Jesus  Christ;  to  wkom  be  glory,  forever  and  ever.    Amen." 


confession  op  faith  of  baptist  churches,  south. 

1.  Holy  Scripture.— -The  Holy  Scripture  is  the  only  sufficient,  certain,  and  infallible 
rule  of  all  saving  knowledge,  faith,  and  obedience ;  the  supreme  judge  by  which  all 
controversies  of  religion  are  to  be  determined,  and  all  decrees  of  councils,  opinions 
of  ancient  writers,  doctrines  of  men,  and  private  spirits,  are  to  be  examined,  and  in 
whose  sentence  we  are  to  rest. 

2.  God  tJie  Trinity. — The  Lord  our  God  is  but  one  only  living  and  true  God,  infinite 
in  being  and  perfection.  In' this  divine  and  infinite  being,  there  are  three  subsisten- 
ces, the  Father,  the  Word  (or  Son),  and  Holy  Spirit,  of  one  substance,  power,  and 
eternity. 

3.  God's  Decree. — Those  of  mankind  that  are  predestinated  to  life,  God,  before  the 
foundation  of  the  world  was  laid,  according  to  his  eternal  and  immutable  purpose, 
and  the  secret  counsel  and  good  pleasure  of  his  will,  hath  chose  in  Christ  unto  ever- 
lasting glory,  out  of  his  mere  free  grace  and  love ;  without  any  other  thing  in  the 
creature  as  a  condition  or  cause  moving  him  thereunto.  As  God  hath  appointed  the 
elect  unto  glory,  so  he  hath,  by  the  eternal  and  most  free  purpose  of  his  will,  fore- 


30  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

ordained  all  the  means  thereunto ;  wherefore  they  who  are  elected,  being  fallen  in 
Adam,  are  redeemed  by  Christ,  are  effectually  called  unto  faith  by  Christ,  by  his 
Spirit  working  in  due  season,  are  justified,  adopted,  sanctihed.  and  kept  by  his  power 
through  faith  unto  salvation. 

4.  The  Fall  of  Man  and  Sin. — Although  God  created  man  upright  and  perfect,  and 
gave  to  him  a  righteous  law,  yet  he  did  not  long  abide  in  this  honor,  but  did  wilfully 
transgress  the  command  given  unto  him  in  eating  the  forbidden  fruit ;  which  God  was 
pleased,  according  to  his  wise  and  holy  counsel,  to  permit,  having  purposed  to  order 
it  to  his  nwn  glory.  Our  first  parents,  by  this  sin,  fell  from  their  original  righteous- 
ness and  communion  with  God,  whereby  death  came  upon  all ;  all  becoming  dead  in 
sin,  and  wholly  defiled  in  all  the  faculties  and  parts  of  soul  and  body.  They  being 
the  root,  corrupted  nature  was  conveyed  to  all  their  posterity,  descending  from  them 
by  ordinary  generation,  being  now  conceived  in  siyi,  and  by  nature  children  of 
wrath. 

5.  God's  Covenant. — Man  having  brought  himself  under  the  curse  of  the  law  by  his 
fall,  it  pleased  the  Lord  to  reveal  the  Covenant  of  Grace,  wherein  he  freely  offereth 
unto  sinners  life  and  salvation  by  Jesus  Christ,  requiring  of  them  faith  in  him,  that 
they  might  be  saved ;  and  promising  to  give  unto  all  those  that  are  ordained  unto 
eternal  life,  his  Holy  Spirit,  to  make  them  willing  and  able  to  believe. 

6.  Christ  the  Mediator.— -The  Son  of  God,  the  second  person  in  the  Holy  Trinity, 
being  very  and  eternal  God,  the  brightness  of  the  Father's  glory,  of  one  substance, 
and  equal  with  him,  who  made  the  world,  who  upholdeth  and  governeth  all  things 
he  hath  made,  did,  when  the  fullness  of  time  was  come,  take  upon  him  man's  nature, 
with  all  the  essential  properties  and  common  infirmities  thereof,  yet  without  sin — so 
that  two  whole,  perfect,  and  distinct  natures  were  inseparably  joined  together  in  one 
person,  which  person  is  very  God  and  very  man,  yet  one  Christ,  the  only  Mediator 
between  God  and  man. 

7.  Redemption. — The  Lord  Jesus,  by  his  perfect  obedience  and  sacrifice  of  himself, 
which  he,  through  the  eternal  Spirit,  once  offered  up  unto  God,  hath  fully  satisfied 
the  justice  of  God,  procured  reconciliation,  and  purchased  an  everlasting  inheritance 
in  the  kingdom  of  heaven,  for  all  those  whom  the  Father  hath  given  unto  him. 

To  all  those  for  whom  Christ  hath  obtained  eternal  redemption,  he  doth  certainly  and 
effectually  apply  and  communicate  the  same ;  making  intercession  for  them ;  uniting 
them  to  himself  by  his  Spirit ;  revealing  unto  them,  in  and  by  the  word,  the  mystery 
of  salvation ;  persuading  them  to  believe  and  obey ;  governing  their  hearts  by  his 
word  and  Spirit,  and  overcoming  all  their  enemies  by  his  almighty  power  and  wisdom, 
in  such  manner  and  ways  as  are  most  consonant  to  his  wonderful  and  unsearchable 
dispensation,  and  all  of  free  and  absolute  grace,  without  any  condition  foreseen  in 
them  to  procure  it. 

8.  The  Will. — Man,  by  his  fall  into  a  state  of  sin,  hath  wholly  lost  all  will  to  any 
spiritual  good  accompanying  salvation ;  so  as  a  natural  man,  being  altogether  averse 
from  that  good,  and  dead  in  sin,  is  not  able,  by  hi3  own  strength,  to  convert  himself, 
or  to  prepare  himself  thereunto. 

When  God  converts  a  sinner,  and  translates  him  into  the  state  of  grace,  he  freeth 
him  from  his  natural  bondage  under  sin,  and  by  his  grace  alone  enables  him  freely  to 
will,  and  to  do  that  which  is  spiritually  good. 

9.  Effectual  Calling. — Those  whom  God  hath  predestinated  unto  life,  he  is  pleased, 
in  his  appointed  and  accepted  time,  effectually  to  call  by  his  word  and  Spirit,  out  of 
that  state  of  sin  and  death,  in  which  they  are  by  nature,  to  grace  of  salvation  by 
Jesus  Christ. 

10.  Justification. — Those  whom  God  effectually  calleth,  he  also  freely  justifieth, 
accounting  and  accepting  their  persons  as  righteous ;  not  for  any  thing  wrought  in 
them,  or  done  by  them,  but  for  Christ's  sake  alone. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  81 

11.  Adoption. — All  those  that  are  justified,  God  vouchsafed,  in  and  for  the  sake  of 
his  only  Son,  Jesus  Christ,  to  make  partakers  of  the  grace  of  adoption,  by  which  they 
are  taken  into  the  number,  and  enjoy  the  liberties  and  privileges  of  children  of  God. 

13.  SaiictijicA ion. — They  who  are  united  to  Christ,  effectually  called  and  regener- 
ated, having  a  new  heart  and  a  new  spirit  created  in  them,  through  the  virtue  of 
Christ's  death  and  resurrection,  are  also  further  sanctified,  really  and  personally, 
through  the  same  virtue,  by  his  word  and  Spirit  dwelling  in  them. 

13.  Saving  Faith. — The  grace  of  faith,  whereby  the  elect  are  enabled  to  believe  to 
the  saving  of  their  souls,  is  the  work  of  the  Spirit  of  Christ  in  their  hearts,  and  is 
ordinarily  wrought  by  the  ministry  of  the  word. 

14.  Repentance. — Saving  repentance  is  an  evangelical  grace,  whereby  a  person, 
being  by  the  Holy  Spirit  made  sensible  of  the  manifold  evils  of  his  sin,  doth,  by  faith 
in  Christ,  humble  himself  for  it,  with  godly  sorrow,  detestation  of  it,  and  self- 
abhorrency. 

15.  Good  Works. — Good  works,  done  in  obedience  to  God's  commandments,  are 
the  fruits  and  evidences  of  a  true  and  lively  faith. 

16.  Perseverance. — Those  whom  God  hath  accepted  in  the  Beloved,  effectually 
called  and  sanctified  by  his  Spirit,  shall  certainly  persevere  therein  to  the  end,  and  be 
eternally  saved. 

17.  Moral  Law. — The  moral  law  doth  forever  bind  all,  as  well  justified  persons  as 
others,  to  the  obedience  thereof,  and  that  not  only  in  regard  to  the  matter  contained 
in  it,  but  also  in  respect  of  the  authority  of  God  the  Creator  who  gave  it ;  neither 
doth  Christ  in  the  Gospel  any  way  dissolve,  but  much  strengthen  this  obligation. 

18.  TJie  Sabbath. — God,  by  his  word,  in  a  positive,  moral  and  perpetual  command- 
ment, binding  all  men,  in  all  ages,  hath  particularly  appointed  one  day  in  seven  for  a 
Sabbath  to  be  kept  holy  unto  him,  which,  from  the  beginning  of  the  world,  to  the  re- 
surrection of  Christ,  was  the  last  day  of  the  week ;  and  from  the  resurrection  of 
Christ,  was  changed  into  the  first  day  of  the  week,  which  he  called  the  Lord's  day. 

19.  The  Church. — The  Lord  Jesus  Christ  is  the  head  of  the  Church,  in  whom,  by 
the  appointment  of  the  Father,  all  power  for  the  calling,  institution,  order,  or  govern- 
ment of  the  church,  is  invested  in  a  supreme  and  sovereign  manner.  In  the  execu- 
tion of  this  power,  the  Lord  Jesus  calleth  out  of  the  world  unto  himself,  through  the 
ministry  of  his  word,  by  his  Spirit,  those  that  are  given  unto  him  by  his  Father,  that 
they  may  walk  before  him  in  all  the  ways  of  obedience,  which  he  prescribeth  to  them 
in  his  word. 

20.  Church  Officers. — A  particular  church  gathered,  and  completely  organized  ac- 
cording to  the  mind  of  Christ,  consists  of  officers  and  members ;  and  the  officers  ap- 
pointed by  Christ  to  be  chosen  and  set  apart  by  the  church  are  bishops,  or  elders, 
and  deacons. 

21.  Ministers,  their  Duty  and  Support. — The  work  of  pastors  being  constantly  to 
attend  the  service  of  Christ,  in  his  churches,  in  the  ministry  of  the  word,  and  prayer, 
with  watching  for  their  souls,  as  they  that  must  give  an  account  to  him;  it  is  incum- 
bent on  the  churches  to  whom  they  minister,  not  only  to  give  them  all  due  respect, 
but  to  communicate  to  them  of  all  their  good  things,  according  to  their  ability. 

22.  Baptism. — Baptism  is  an  ordinance  of  the  New  Testament,  ordained  by  Jesus 
Christ,  to  be  unto  the  party  baptised  a  sign  of  his  fellowship  with  Mm  in  his  death 
and  resurrection ;  of  his  being  engrafted  into  him ;  of  remission  of  sins ;  and  of  his 
giving  up  unto  God,  through  Jesus  Christ,  to  live  and  walk  in  newness  of  life. 
Those  who  do  actually  profess  repentance  towards  God,  and  obedience  to  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  are  the  only  proper  subjects  of  this  ordinance.  The  outward  element  to 
be  used  in  this  ordinance  is  water,  wherein  the  party  is  to  be  immersed,  in  the  name 
of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

23.  Lord's  Supper. — The  supper  of  the  Lord  Jesua  was  instituted  by  him,  the 


32  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

sarae  night  wherein  he  was  betrayed,  to  be  observed  in  his  churches  unto  the  end  of 
the  world,  for  the  perpetual  remembrance  and  showing  forth  the  sacrifice  of  himself 
iu  his  dearth. 

24.  The  Pusurrection. — The  bodies  of  men  after  death  return  to  dust,  and  see  cor- 
ruption ;  bat  their  souls,  which  neither  die  nor  sleep,  having  an  immortal  subsistence, 
immediately  return  to  God  who  gave  them ;  the  souls  of  the  righteous  being  then 
made  perfect  iu  holiness,  are  received  into  paradise,  where  they  are  with  Christ,  and 
behold  the  face  of  God,  in  light  and  glory,  waiting  for  the  full  redemption  of  their 
bodies ;  and  the  souls  of  the  wicked  are  cast  into  hell,  where  they  remain  in  torment 
and  utter  darkness,  reserved  to  the  judgment  of  the  great  day. 

26.  The  Judgment. — God  hath  appointed  a  day  wherein  he  will  judge  the  world  iu 
righteousness,  by  Jesus  Christ ;  to  whom  all  power  and  judgment  is  given  of  the 
Fiither ;  then  shall  the  righteous  go  into  everlasting  life,  and  receive  the  fulness  of 
joy  and  glory,  with  everlastiug  reward,  in  the  presence  of  the  Lord ;  but  the  wicked 
who  know  not  God,  and  obey  not  the  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ,  shall  be  cast  into  eter- 
nal torments,  and  punished  with  everlasting  destruction,  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord,  and  from  the  glory  of  his  power. 


FREE   WILL   BAPTISTS. 

This  body  of  Baptists  owes  its  origin  in  the  United  States  to  Elder  Benjamin  Ran- 
dall, of  New  Castle,  N.  H.,  who.  on  account  of  his  belief  in  free  will  and  a  free  and 
full  salvation,  was,  in  July,  1779,  at  New  Durham,  ejected  from  the  regular  Baptist 
church.  As  his  ministerial  efforts  had  been  largely  blessed,  his  ejection  gave  great 
offence  to  many,  who  rallied  around  him  in  his  trial  and  sustained  him  by  their  sym- 
pathy and  liberality.  "It  makes  no  difference  to  me  who  disowns  me,  so  long  as  I 
know  that  the  Lord  owns  me.  And  now  let  that  God  be  God  who  answers  by  fire  ; 
and  that  people  be  God's  people,  whom  he  owneth  and  blesseth!"  The  same  year 
the  church  in  Loudon  and  Canterbury,  with  its  minister,  and  the  church  in  Strafford 
and  minister,  protested  against  Calvinism,  and  stood  independent,  until  at  an  early 
period  they  came  into  the  new  connection.  By  these  ministers,  Mr.  Randall  was 
ordained,  in  March,  1780  ;  and  on  the  30th  of  June,  in  the  same  year,  he  organized, 
in  Xew  Durham,  the  first  Free  Will  Baptist  Church.  His  labors,  at  home  and  in  the 
surrounding  country,  were  incessant,  and  so  largely  blessed,  that,  in  a  short  time, 
there  were  several  churches  associated  with  this.  The  new  sect  was  everywhere  spoke;  i 
against ;  the  cry  of  delusion  and  fanaticism  was  raised,  and  their  enemies  variously  stig- 
matized them  as  Randallites,  General  Provisioners,  New  Lights,  Free  Willers,  <fec.  But 
this  failed  of  its  purpose.  Revivals  spread ;  church  after  church  was  formed ;  ministers 
and  people  left  the  old  church  in  considerable  numbers  and  united  with  them,  till,  in 
a  few  years,  they  were  acknowledged  to  be  "a  power  in  the  East" — their  societies 
•  '^rending  throughout  New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Rhode  Island,  Maine,  and  several 
other  States,  when,  seeing  their  strength,  their  enemies  relinquished  their  persecution 
and  permitted  them  to  go  on  in  peace. 

The  Free  Will  Baptists  have  extended  over  a  large  portion  of  the  United  States. 
and  Canada ;  and,  if  not  rapidly,  are  everywhere  steadily  increasing. 

A  General  Conference  was  organized  in  1827,  in  which  the  whole  connection  should 
be  represented.  This  conference,  at  first  an  annual,  then  a  biennial,  and  is  now 
a  triennial  association.  It  is  composed  of  delegates  appointed  at  yearly  meetings, 
and  to  it  are  referred  the  general  interests  of  the  denomination  at  home  and  abroad.

As  a  body,  they  have  risen  essentially  by  revivals,  by  conversions  from  such  as 
were  "without,"  rather  than  by  secessions  from  other  denominations. 

The  denomination,  some  years  since,  withdrew  connection  from  four  thousand  in 
North  Carolina,  on  account  of  their  being  slaveholders,  and  subsequently  refused,  on 
the  same  ground,  to  receive  some  twelve  thousand  from  Kentucky  and  adjoining 
States,  who  had  sent  a  delegation  to  the  General  Conference  for  that  purpose.  For 
this  reason  there  are  few  Free  "Will  Baptists,  as  such,  in  the  South. 

The  General  Baptists  of  England,  in  usages  and  sentiments  are  with  this  body,  and 
a  correspondence  and  exchange  of  publications  have  been  carried  on  between  them 
for  many  years. 

Free  Will  Baptists  have  warmly  espoused  Ind  liberally  support  the  various  leading 
religious  enterprises  of  the  age. 

The  statistics  of  the  denomination  may  be  summed  up  as  follows :  Associations, 
130;  Churches,  1170;  Ordained  Ministers,  947;  Members,  50,600. 

CONFESSION   OF   FAITH. 

1.  The  Scriptures. — The  Holy  Scriptures,  embracing  the  Old  and  New  Testaments, 
were  given  by  inspiration  of  God,  and  constitute  the  Christian's  perfect  rule  of  faith 
and  practice. 

2.  God. — There  is  only  one  true  and  living  God,  who  is  a  spirit,  self-existent,  eter- 
nal, immutable,  omnipresent,  omniscient,  omnipotent,  independent,  good,  wise,  just, 
and  merciful ;  the  creator,  preserver  and  governor  of  the  universe ;  the  redeemer, 
saviour,  sanctifier,  and  judge  of  men  ;  and  the  only  proper  object  of  divine  worship. 
He  exists  in  three  persons,  offices,  distinctions,  and  relations — Father,  Son,  and  Holy 
Ghost,  which  mode  of  existence  is  above  the  understanding  of  finite  men. 

3.  Christ. — The  Son  of  God  possesses  all  divine  perfections,  which  is  proven  from 
his  titles:  true  God,  great  God,  mighty  God,  God  over  all,  etc.;  his  attributes;  eter- 
nal, unchangeable-,  omniscient,  etc.,  and  from  his  works.  He  is  the  only  incarnation 
of  the  Divine  Being. 

4.  The  Holy  Spirit. — He  has  the  attributes  of  God  ascribed  to  him  in  the  Scrip- 
tures ;  is  the  sanctifier  of  the  souls  of  men,  and  is  the  third  person  in  the  Godhead. 

5.  Creation. — God  created  the  world  and  all  it  contains  for  his  own  glory,  and  the 
enjoyment  of  his  creatures ;  and  the  angels,  to  glorify  and  obey  him. 

6.  Man's  Primitive  State,  and  his  Fall. — Our  first  parents  were  created  in  the 
image  of  God,  holy  and  upright  and  free ;  but,  by  yielding  to  temptation,  fell  from 
that  state,  and  all  their  posterity  with  them,  they  then  being  in  Adam's  loins;  and 
the  whole  human  family  became  exposed  to  temporal  and  eternal  death. 

7.  The  Atonement. — As  sin  cannot  be  pardoned  without  a  sacrifice,  and  the  blood 
of  beasts  could  never  actually  wash"  away  sin,  Christ  gave  himself  a  sacrifice  for  the 
sins  of  the  world,  and  thus  made  salvation  possible  for  all  men.  Through  the  re- 
demption of  Christ  man  is  placed  on  a  second  state  of  trial ;  this  second  state  so  far 
differing  from  the  first,  that  now  men  are  naturally  inclined  to  transgress  the  com- 
mands of  God,  and  will  not  regain  the  image  of  God  in  holiness  but  through  the 
atonement  by  the  operation  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  All  who  die  short  of  the  age  of  ac- 
countability are  rendered  sure  of  eternal  life.  Through  the  provisions  of  the  atone- 
ment all  are  abilitated  to  repent  of  their  sins  and  yield  to  God ;  the  Gospel  oall  is  to 
all.  the  Spirit  enlightens  all,  and  men  are  agents  capable  of  choosing  or  refusing. 

8.  Regeneration  is  an  instantaneous  renovation  of  the  soul  by  the  Spirit  of  God, 
whereby  the  penitent  sinner,  believing  in  and  giving  up  all  for  Christ,  receives  new 
life,  and  becomes  a  child  of  God.  This  change  is  preceded  by  true  conviction,  re- 
pentance of,  and  penitential  sorrow  for  sin  ;  it  is  called  in  Scripture,  being  born  again, 
born  of  the  Spirit,  passing  from  death  unto  life.     The  soul  is  then  justified  with  God. 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  35 

9.  Sandification  is  a  setting  apart  the  soul  and  body  for  holy  service,  an  entire 
consecration  of  all  our  ransomed  powers  to  God ;  believers  are  to  strive  for  this  -with 
all  diligence. 

10.  Perseverance. — As  the  regenerate  are  placed  in  a  state  of  trial  during  life,  their 
future  obedience  and  final  salvation  are  neither  determined  nor  certain  ;  it  is,  how- 
ever their  duty  and  privilege  to  be  steadfast  in  the  truth,  to  grow  in  grace,  persevere 
in  holiness,  and  make  their  election  sure. 

11.  Immediately  after  death,  men  enter  into  a  state  of  happiness  or  misery,  accord- 
ing to  their  character.  At  some  future  period,  known  only  to  God,  there  will  be  a 
resurrection  both  of  the  righteous  and  the  wicked,  when  there  will  be  a  general  judg- 
ment, when  all  will  be  judged  according  to  the  deeds  done  in  the  body ;  the  righteous 
be  admitted  into  eternal  happiness,  and  the  wicked  assigned  to  eternal  misery. 

12.  The  Church. — A  Christian  church  is  an  assembly  of  persons  who  believe  in 
Christ,  and  worship  the  true  God  agreeably  to  his  word.  In  a  more  general  sense, 
it  signifies  the  whole  body  of  real  Christians  throughout  the  world.  The  church 
being  the  body  of  Christ,  none  but  the  regenerate,  who  obey  the  Gospel,  are  its  real 
members.  Believers  are  received  into  a  particular  cburch,  on  their  giving  evidence 
of  faith,  covenanting  to  walk  according  to  the  Christian  rule,  and  being  baptised. 

13.  Baptism. — Baptism  is  an  immersion  of  the  candidate  in  water,  in  the  name  of 
the  Father,  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost ;  the  only  proper  candidate  being  one 
who  gives  evidence  of  a  change  of  heart. 

14.  Communion. — Communion  is  a  solemn  partaking  of  bread  and  wine,  in  com- 
memoration of  the  death  and  sufferings  of  Christ. 


OLD  SCHOOL,    OR  ANTI-MISSION  BAPTISTS. 

This  body  of  Christians  were  formerly  in  connection  with  the  Regular  Baptists, 
whom  they  term  New  School,  or  Mission  Baptists,  and  from  whom  they  now  hold 
themselves  as  distinct  as  from  any  other  denomination. 

They  are  opposed  to  the  academical  or  theological  education  of  their  ministry,  and 
to  Bible,  Missionary,  Publication,  and  all  other  voluntary  societies  of  like  nature, 
which  they  regard  as  of  mere  human  invention,  and  diverse  from  that  simplicity  of 
order  instituted  by  Christ,  and  declared  in  the  New  Testament  as  the  law  of  His 
kingdom,  and  by  which  he  would  keep  his  people  constantly  mindful  that,  in  the 
building  up  of  his  church,  giving  to  them  pastors  and  teachers,  and  gathering  in  his 
elect,  "the  excellency  of  the  power  is  of  God,  and  not  of"  men. 

When,  in  1813,  missionary  and  other  kindred  institutions  were  introduced  into  the 
Baptist  Church,  a  spirit  of  discontent  and  opposition  arose  at  their  introduction  in  some 
churches  and  associations,  which  continued  to  manifest  itself  for  several  years,  till 
finally,  in  1832,  the  dissatisfied  churches  and  associations  determined  to  withdraw, 
and  form  a  separate  organization.  They,  therefore,  in  that  year,  issued  an  address  to 
the  churches,  setting  forth  that  they  could  no  longer  give  fellowship  to  brethren  that 
countenanced  the  mass  of  humanly  devised  institutions  that  had  been  foisted  upon  the 
church,  whose  pure  doctrines  they  corrupted,  whose  peace  they  disturbed,  and  whose 
Scriptural  simplicity  they  had  subverted,  and  inviting  all  who  loved  the  truth  in  its 
integrity,  and  had  groaned,  like  themselves,  under  the  burdens  of  human  inventions, 
to  communicate  with  them.  "Numbers  of  churches  and  associations  promptly  re- 
sponded, a  general  correspondence  was  opened,  a  meeting  held,  and  an  organization 
formed  under  the  distinguishing  appeliatioa  of  Old  School  Baptists,  which  they  con-

sidered  as  specially  appropriate  to  them,  not  only  as  going  back  to  the  ancient  order 
of  Baptists,  but  from  its  having  been  given  to  such  as  adhered  to  the  old  doctrine  of 
predestination  and  special  atonement. 

They  receive  the  Holy  Scriptures  as  their  only  rule  of  faith  and  practice,  have  no 
confidence  in  human  effort,  or  human  schemes  for  reform,  are  opposed  to  theological 
schools,  as  such,  will  not  tolerate  mere  scholastic  preachers ;  and  for  removing  abuses 
of  all  and  every  nature,  enlightening  the  human  mind,  and  leading  men  to  faith  and 
salvation  iu  Christ,  rely  wholly  and  exclusively  upon  the  sure  Word  of  God,  and 
His  Spirit. 

Their  denominational  strength  lies  principally  in  the  South  and  South-west,  having 
but  few  churches  and  associations  in  the  Eastern  and  Middle  States. 

Their  church  polity  is  the  same  as  that  of  the  regular  Baptists,  from  whom,  as  will 
be  seen  from  the  foregoing,  they  differ  mainly  by  their  opposition  to  all  voluntary 
associations. 

They  number,  Associations,  155;  Churches,  1750;  Ordained  Ministers,  415; 
Members,  62,000. 


SIX   PRINCIPLE   BAPTISTS. 

The  Six  Principle  Baptists  originated  in  this  country  in  Rhode  Island.  Their  first 
church  is  said  to  have  been  constituted  as  early  as  1665.  In  1730,  of  seventeen  Bap- 
tist churches  in  that  State,  thirteen  were  Six  Principle  Baptist. 

Their  church  polity  is  so  similar  to  that  of  other  Baptists,  that  it  does  not  need  a 
description.  Their  ministry,  generally,  has  not  been  liberally  educated,  nor  ade- 
quately supported.  They  have  not  been  forward  in  the  so-called  reformatory  move- 
ments of  the  time,  never  have  made  any  missionary  effort,  and  are  generally  opposed 
to  Temperance,  Moral  Reform,  and  Anti-Slavery  Societies,  believing  the  Gospel  all- 
sufficient  for  these  and  all  other  fields. 

Their  total  number  is  very  small;  their  churches  confinad,  so  far  as  we  are  able  to 
learn,  to  the  States  of  Rhode  Island,  Massachusetts,  New  York,  and  Pennsylvania, 

They  discard  the  payment  or  reception  of  a  stated  salary  for  their  preachers,  who 
are  generally  obliged  to  support  themselves  and  families,  and  therefore  have  not  the 
opportunity  of  traveling  and  carrying  their  views  into  distant  places. 

In  doctrine,  they  are  Arminian,  holding  to  a  general,  in  opposition  to  a  limited  or 
particular  atonement,  and  hence  they  sometimes  are  termed,  and  term  themelves, 
General  Baptists. 

Their  literature  is  very  limited. 

Their  Churches  number  about  18  ;  Ordained  Ministers,  16;  Members,  3,000. 

DOCTRINE. 

The  peculiarities  distinguishing  them  from  other  Baptists  are  principally  what  they 
deduce  from  the  first  three  verses  of  the  sixth  chapter  of  Hebrews.  These,  they 
conclude,  contain  the  fundamental  system  of  Christ's  revealed  plan  and  way  of  sal- 
vation. Hence,  they  derive  their  name  from  the  fact  that  six  particulars  are  men- 
tioned in  this  passage,  viz. :  repentance  from  dead  works,  faith  towards  God,  doctrine 
of  baptisms,  laying  on  of  hands,  resurrection  of  the  dead,  and  eternal  judgment. 

1.  Repentance  from  Dead  Works. — As  all  are  sinners,  all  are  under  obligation  to 
repent,  as  unless  they  repent  they  must  all  perish. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  3t 

2.  Faith  toward  God. — Repentance  will  lead  the  sinner  to  obtain  "faith  toward 
God,"  by  which  he  is  born  of  the  Spirit,  cleansed  from  all  sin  and  guilt,  has  hi3 
heart  purified,  and  is  become  a  meet  temple  for  the  Holy  Ghost  to  dwell  in. 

3.  Doctrine  of  Baptisms. — The  word  is  in  the  plural,  and  signifies  more  baptisms 
than  one.  1.  John's  baptizing  with  .the  baptism  of  repentance.  2.  The  baptism  of 
the  Holy  Ghost  and  with  fire,  on  the  day  of  Pentecost — the  only  baptism  of  the 
kind.  3.  The  baptism  of  Christ's  sufferings.  After  the  resurrection  of  Christ,  the 
establishment  of  his  kingdom  here  on  earth,  and  his  accession  to  glory,  there  is,  by 
the  authority  of  his  gospel,  to  be  but  "one  Lord,  one  faith,  and  one  baptism,"  viz.  : 
4.  The  apostles,  and  their  successors  in  the  ministry,  baptizing  the  believers  in 
Christ  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost.  The  mode 
of  this  baptism,  according  to  the  true  signification  of  the  word,  is  to  dip,  plunge,  im- 
merse, overwhelm,  &c,  representing  the  death,  burial,  and  resurrection  of  Christ. 

4.  Laying  on  of  Hands. — This  corresponds  with  episcopal  confirmation.  They 
hold  this  rite  in  connection  with,  and  of  equal  authority  with,  baptism,  and  all  the 
other  principles  of  Christ's  doctrine,  and  refuse  communion  and  church  membership 
to  all  who  have  not  been  "  under  hands." 

5.  Resurrection  of  the  Dead. — The  doctrine  of  the  resurrection  is  the  great  pillar  of 
the  whole  gospel  system.  The  resurrection  of  Christ  from  the  dead  is  that  founda- 
tion upon  which  all  Christianity  depends.  "If  we  believe  that  Jesus  died  and  rose 
again,  they  also  that  sleep  in  Jesus  shall  God  bring  with  him.  But  there  shall  be  a 
resurrection  both  of  the  just  and  the  unjust ;  they  that  have  done  good  to  the  resur- 
jection  of  life,  and  they  that  have  done  evil  to  the  resurrection  of  damnation." 

6.  Eternal  Judgment. — This  is  called  the  eternal  judgment,  because  it  will  finally 
decide  and  unalterably  fix  the  eternal  state  of  all  God's  accountable  creatures. 


SEVENTH-DAY  BAPTISTS. 

Seventhly  Baptists  are  distinguished  from  regular  Baptists  mainly  by  their  views 
of  the  Sabbath,  iu  respect  to  which  they  believe : 

1st.  That  the  seventh  day  of  the  week  was  sanctified  and  blessed  for  the  Sabbath 
in  Paradise,  and  was  designed  for  all  mankind. 

2d.  That  it  forms  a  necessary  part  of  the  Ten  Commandments,  which  are  immut- 
.able  in  their  nature  and  universally  binding. 

3d.  That  no  change  as  to  the  day  of  the  Sabbath  was  made  by  Divine  authority, 
at  the  introduction  of  Christianity. 

4th.  That  those  passages  in  the  New  Testament  which  speak  of  the  first  day  of 
tthe  week,  do  not  imply,  either  the  substitution  of  that  day  for  the  seventh  as  the 
Sabbath,  or  its  appointment  as  a  day  of  religious  worship. 

5th.  That  whatever  respect  the  early  Christians  paid  to  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
on  the  supposition  of  its  being  the  day  of  Christ's  resurrection,  yet  they  never  re- 
garded it  as  the  Sabbath,  but  continued  to  observe  the  seventh  day  in  that  character, 
until,  by  the  edicts  of  emperors  and  the  decrees  of  councils,  the  first  day  was  made 
gradually  to  supersede  it. 

6  th.  That,  finally,  the  seventh  day  of  the  week,  and  not  the  first,  ought  now  to  be 
observed  as  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  our  God. 

In  America,  Seventh-day  Baptists  made  their  appearance  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
seventeenth  century.     The  first  church  was  organized  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  in  1671. 

Their  numbers  are  not  very  large,  and  these  mainly  in  the  States  of  Rhode  Island, 


38  American  christian  record. 

Connecticut,  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Virginia,  Ohio,  Wisconsin,  Iowa, 
Illinois  and  Indiana. 

Though  small,  the  denomination  is  devoted  and  energetic.  The  Seventh-day  Bap- 
tist Missiouary  Society  was  organized  in  1842,  for  spreading  the  Gospel  at  home  and 
abroad,  in  which  it  has  already  done  good  work.  Its  missionaries  in  China  have 
organized  at  Shanghae  a  church,  and  built  a  chapel  and  dwelling-house.  The  Amer- 
ican Sabbath  Tract  Society,  organized  in  1843,  for  the  promotion  of  the  scriptural 
observance  of  the  Sabbath,  has  issued  a  considerable  number  of  tracts  and  other  pub- 
lications, relating  to  the  Sabbath,  which  have  done  and  are  still  accomplishing  much 
good.  The  Seventh-Day  Baptist  Publishing  Society,  established  in  1849,  issues  a 
weekly  paper,  called  The  SabbaUi  Recorder,  a  monthly,  styled  The  Sabbath  School 
Visitor,  and  a  quarterly  magazine  of  history,  biography,  and  statistics,  entitled  The 
Seventh-Day  Baptist  Memorial.  Its  literary  institutions  are  the  De  Ruyter  Institute, 
located  at  De  Ruyter,  N.  Y. ;  the  Alfred  Academy,  at  Alfred,  N.  Y. ;  a  smaller  acad- 
emy at  Sliiloh,  N.  J.,  and  another  at  Milton,  Wisconsin.  All  of  these  institutions  are 
sustained  with  liberality  and  spirit. 

They  are  close  communionists,  and  regard  immersion  as  the  only  scriptural  mode 
of  baptism. 

They  have  68  churches,  72  ordained  ministers,  and,  as  near  as  can  be  ascertained, 
about  7,500  members. 

CONFESSION   OF  FAITH. 

j{#  Q0dm — "We  believe  that  there  is  one  God  and  that  there  is  no  other.  That  Jesus 
Christ  is  the  Son  of  God,  and  that  the  Holy  Spirit  is  the  Spirit  of  God  and  of  Jesus 
Christ  his  Son.  That  there  is  a  union  existing  between  the  Father  and  the  Son,  and 
the  Holy  Spirit,  and  that  they  are  equally  divine  and  oqually  entitled  to  our  adora- 
tion. 

2.  The  Fall  of  Man. — We  believe  that  man  was  made  upright  and  good,  and  had 
ability  to  have  remained  so,  but  that,  through  temptation,  he  was  induced  to  violate 
the  law  of  God,  and  thus  fell  from  his  uprightness,  and  came  under  the  curse  of  the 
law,  and  became  a  subject  of  death ;  and  that  all  his  posterity  have  inherited  from 
him  depravity  and  death. 

3.  Christ, — We  believe  that  God  so  loved  the  world  that  he  gave  his  only  begotten 
Son,  that  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should  not  perish,  but  have  everlasting  life. 
That  he  took  on  him  our  nature,  and  was  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary ;  that  he  offered 
liimself  a  sacrifice  for  sin ;  that  he  suffered  death  upon  the  cross ;  was  buried,  and 
at  the  expiration  of  three  days  and  three  nights,  rose  from  the  dead ;  and  that  he 
ascended  to  the  right  hand  of  God,  and  is  the  mediator  between  God  and  man  ;  from 
whence  he  will  come  to  judge,  and  reward  all  men  according  to  the  deeds  done  in 
their  bodies. 

4.  A  tonement. — We  believe  that  by  the  humiliation  and  sufferings  of  Christ  he 
made  an  atonement,  and  became  the  propitiation  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world ;  but 
that  the  nature  or  character  of  this  atonement  is  such  as  not  to  admit  of  justification 
without  faith,  or  salvation  without  holiness. 

5.  Regeneration,  We  believe  that  regeneration  is  essential  to  salvation,  that  it  con- 
sists in  a  renovation  of  the  heart,  hatred  to  sin,  and  love  to  God ;  and  that  it  produces 
reformation  of  life  in  whatever  is  known  to  be  sinful ;  and  a  willing  conformity  to 
the  authority  and  precepts  of  Christ. 

6.  Good  Works.— We  believe  that  good  works  are  not  the  ground  of  the  believer's 
hope,  but  that  they  are  fruits  essential  to  a  justified  state,  and  necessary  as  evi- 
dence of  a  new  birth.

their  number  overshadowed  the  original  members,  the  main  body  of  whom  now  took 
a  decided  stand,  as  well  against  tne  revival  and  the  pastor  as  the  new  converts. 
This  state  of  things  could  not  last,  and  in  1825  they  separated.  More  extensive  re- 
vivals shortly  followed  in  Harrisburg,  Lebanon,  Lancaster,  Shippensburg,  Marietta, 
and  other  places,  greatly  to  the  indignation  of  old  school  brethren,  who  were  equally 
shocked  and  amazed  at  the  new  fangle,  which  they  gravely  denounced  as  a  fresh 
engine  of  Satan  for  annoying  and  distracting  the  church.  The  views  of  Mr.  "Wine- 
BRENNER  having,  in  the  interim,  undergone  a  change  in  respect  as  to  church  ordi- 
nances and  organizations,  he  united  with  others  in  adopting  the  apostolic  plan,  and 
established  free  churches  of  believers,  or  Christians,  only,  without  any  human  name, 
creed,  or  laWs. 

Among  the  young  converts  were  several  able  men,  who  subsequently  became 
powerful  and  influential  preachers.  These,  with  a  few  others  kindred  in  views  and 
spirit,  in  October,  1830,  pursuant  to  public  notice,  met  at  the  Union  Hotel,  at  Har- 
risburg, where,  after  a  sermon  and  deliberation,  it  was  unanimously  agreed: 

Lst.  That  there  is  but  one  true  church,  viz:  the  Church  of  God. 

2d.  That  it  is  the  bounden  duty  of  all  Clod's  people  to  belong  to  her,  and  none  else. 

3d.  That  it  is  lawful  and  right  to  associate  together  for  the  purpose  of  co-operation 
in  the  cause  of  God. 

4  th.  That  we  agree  to  hold  an  eldership  annually  for  this  purpose,  consisting  of 
teaching  and  ruling  elders  of  the  Church  of  God. 

The  teaching  elders  present  then  subscribed  their  names,  viz  :  John  "Winebrenner, 
Andrew  Miller,  John  Elliott,  John  Walborn,  David  Maxwell,  and  James 
Richards.  Thus  originated  the  Church  of  God  in  the  United  States,  and  thus  also 
the  first  eldership. 

The  Officers  are  two  bishops  (or  elders)  and  deacons. 

Eldersldps  (answering  to  the  conventions  of  Baptists)  meet  annually;  while  a  Ge- 
neral Eldership,  of  delegates  from  annual  elderships,  is  held  every  three  years. 

The  General  Eldership  owns  and  controls  all  the  common  property  of  the  church, 
such  as  the  printing  establishment,  steriotype  plates,  copyrights,  and  whatever  else 
may  come  into  its  hands  by  way  of  purchase,  bequest,  donation,  or  otherwise. 

No  minister  can  be  a  delegate  to  the  General  Eldership  who  has  not  held  a 
preacher's  license  for  five  years  previous  to  such  appointment. 

The  denomination  takes  a  firm  stand  in  favor  of  Bible,  Education,  Missionary, 
Tract,  and  Temperance  Societies  ;  also  in  favor  of  Sabbath  schools,  Bible  classes,  and 
all  systems  and  modes  of  instruction  calculated  to  benefit  men  and  the  rising  gene- 
ration, and  lead  them  to  the  Author  of  salvation. 

The  church  property  of  each  society,  such  as  the  meeting-house  (by  the  denomina- 
tion termed  Bethels),  parsonage,  etc.,  is  held  by  hte  elder  in  trust  for  his  successor  in 
office,  the  deed  containing  a  provisionafy  clause,  transferring  the  same  to  the  annual 
eldership  of  the  district  in  which  it  is  located,  in  the  event  of  the  extinction  of  the 
Society. 

The  church  will  have  no  fellowship  with  any  who  countenance  Slavery,  directly  or 
indirectly,  and  is  equally  severe  upon  the  makers  and  venders  of  ardent  spirits. 

The  denomination  has  a  Domestic  and  Foreign  Missionary  Society,  and  a  Printing 
Establishment,  for  the  publication  of  religious  tracts,  pamphlets,  books,  and  periodi- 
cals, both  of  which  are  under  the  sole  control  of  the  General  Eldership. 

It  has  some  275  Churches,  140  Ordained  Ministers,  and  11.000  Members 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  41 


DECLARATION   OF   VIEWS   OF   THE   CHURCH   OF   GOD. 

1.  She  believes  the  Bible,  or  the  canonical  books  of  the  Old  and  New  Testament  to 
be  the  Word  of  God,  a  revelation  from  God  to  man,  and  the  only  authoritative  rule  of 
faith  and  practice. 

2.  She  believes  in  one  Supreme  God,  consisting  of  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit, 
and  that  these  three  are  co-equal  and  co-eternal. 

3.  She  believes  in  the  fall  and  depravity  of  man ;  that  is  to  say,  that  man  by  na- 
ture is  destitute  of  the  favor  and  image  of  God. 

4.  She  believes  in  the  redemption  of  man  through  the  atonement,  or  vicarious 
sacrifice  of  Jesus  Christ. 

5.  She  believes  in  the  gifts  and  office-work  of  the  Holy  Spirit ;  that  is,  in  the  en- 
Jightening,  regenerating,  and  sanctifying  influence  and  power  of  the  Spirit. 

6.  She  believes  in  the  free  moral  agency  of  man ;  that  he  has  moral  ability, 
because  commanded  to  repent  and  believe,  in  order  to  be  saved ;  and  that  the 
doctrine  of  unconditional  election  and  reprobation,  has  no  foundation  in  the  oracles 
of  God. 

7.  She  believes  that  man  is  justified  by  faith  in  Christ,  and  not  by  the  works  of  law, 
or  by  works  of  his  own  righteousness. 

8.  She  believes  in  the  necessity  of  regeneration,  or  the  new  birth ;  or,  in  the 
change  of  man's  moral  nature,  after  the  image  of  God,  by  the  influence  and  power  of 
the  word  and  Spirit  of  God,  through  faith  in  Christ  Jesus. 

9.  She  believes  in  three  positive  ordinances  of  perpetual  standing  in  the  church, 
viz. :  Baptism,  Feet  Washing,  and  the  Lord's  Supper. 

10.  She  believes  two  things  essential  to  the  validity  of  baptism,  viz. :  faith  and 
immersion — that  faith  should  always  precede  immersion ;  and  that  where  either  is 
wanting,  there  can  be  no  Scriptural  baptism. 

11.  She  believes  that  the  ordinance  of  feet  washing,  that  is,  the  literal  washing  of 
the  saint's  feet,  according  to  the  words  and  example  of  Christ,  is  obligatory  upon  all 
Christians,  and  ought  to  be  observed  by  all  the  churches  of  God. 

12.  She  believes  that  the  Lord's  Sup>per  should  be  often  administered,  and,  to  be

DISCIPLES   OF   CHRIST,    OR   CHRISTIANS. 

This  denomination,  whose  members  prefer  to  be  known  by  the  primitive  appella- 
tion of  Disciples  of  Christ,  or  by  that  of  Christians,  but  who  are  variously  designated 
as  Baptists,  Reformed  Baptists,  Reformers,  Campbeliites,  &c,  had  its  rise  in  an  effort, 
in  the  early  part  of  the  present  century,  to  effect  a  union  of  the  pious  of  all  parties, 
by  the  ties  of  common  Christianity  - 

This  was  at  first  proposed  by  Thomas  Campbell,  long  a  minister  in  the  '•Seces- 
sion" branch  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  in  the  north  of  Ireland,  and  characterised 
by  his  love  for  the  Bible  and  godly  men  of  all  denominations,  and  who  had  visited 
the  United  States  for  his  health  and  with  a  view  to  a  permanent  location.  For 
nearly  three  years,  he  supplied  with  ministerial  labor  the  destitute  churches  of  the 
Seceder  connection  in  "Western  Pennsylvania,  during  which  period  he  experienced 
much  opposition  and  persecution  from  some  of  the  ministers  of  his  denomination,  in 
consequence  of  the  liberality  of  his  religious  views,  and  was  at  one  time  arraigned 
before  the  ecclesiastical  tribunal  under  a  charge  of  favoring  a  communion  with  other 
sects.  Shortly  after,  Mr.  Campbell's  family  left  Ireland,  under  the  protection  of  his 
eldest  son,  Alexander,  and  arrived  in  Washington  county,  Pennsylvania,  where  they 
took  up  their  residence,  and  where  Mr.  C.  continued  his  ministerial  labors. 

Continually  deploring  the  divided  and  distracted  condition  of  the  religious  world, 
he  at  length  decided  to  make  a  public  effort  for  a  restoration  of  the  original  unity  of 
the  church.  In  this  he  was  joined  by  his  son.  Alexander,  whose  religious  views  had 
become  much  liberalised  and  extended  by  an  intimacy  with  the  Independents  in  Glas- 
gow, in  Scotland,  where  he  had  just  completed  his  studies:  and  an  attempt  was  made, 
in  the  first  instance,  to  obtain  the  co-operation  of  the  ministers  and  people  with  whom  ' 
he  stood  associated. 

''The  great  fundamental  point"  urged  in  behalf  of  this  measure,  says  Prof.  Rich- 
ardson, of  Virginia,  "was,  that,  in  order  to  Christian  union,  and  the  full  influence  of 
the  GospeL  it  was  absolutely  necessary  that  the  Bible  alone  should  be  taken  as  the 
authorised  bond  of  union,  and  the  infallible  rule  of  faith  and  practice.  In  other 
words,  that  the  revelations  of  God  should  be  made  to  displace  all  human  creeds,  con- 
fessions of  faith  and  formularies  of  doctrine  and  church  government,  as  being  not

only  unnecessary  but  really  a  means  of  perpetuating  disunion.  Containing  indeed 
much  truth,  and  embracing  for  the  most  part  the  great  leading  facts  and  doctrines 
of  Christianity,  each  one,  it  was  argued,  superadded,  unfortunately,  its  own  peculiar 
theory  of  religion,  and  blended  with  the  Christianity  common  to  all,  speculative  opin- 
ions respecting  matters  not  revealed,  which,  nevertheless,  were,  in  these  theological 
systems,  exalted  to  an  equal  authority  with  the  undoubted  facts  of  the  gospel.  These 
conflicting  opinions,  uncertain  for  want  of  clear  scriptural  evidence,  were,  whether 
true  or  false,  unimportant  in  themselves,  as  contrasted  with  the  great  truths  of  Holy 
Writ;  and,  as  derived  from  human  reason,  and  being  the  offspring  of  human  weak- 
ness, were  regarded  as  constituting  essentially  human  religion,  and  as  being  there- 
fore wholly  devoid  of  any  regenerating  or  saving  efficacy.  It  was  conceived  to  have 
been  a  small  matter  that  the  Lutheran  Reformation  should  have  freed  the  church 
from  the  religion  of  the  priest,  if  she  persisted  in  substituting  for  it  the  religion  of 
men,  rather  than  the  religion  of  God,  as  God  himself  had  given  it.  *  *  *  It  was 
therefore  proposed  that  all  human  creeds,  (as  being  incomplete  if  they  contained  any 
thing  less  than  the  Bible ;  and  unworthy  of  credit,  if  they  contained  any  thing  more  upon 
the  subject  of  religion,  and  in  either  case  as  highly  injurious ;)  should  be  indiscrimi- 
nately repudiated  by  the  churches,  and  that  the  Bible  itself,  and  more  especially  the 
New  Testament,  as  containing  the  clear  developement  of  the  religion  of  Christ,  should 
be,  as  was  undeniably  the  case,  in  primitive  ages,  the  creed,  the  confession,  and  the 
guide  of  all.  The  plea  that  human  creeds  and  discipline  were  necessary  to  preserve 
purity  of  doctrine  and  government  in  the  church,  was  totally  rejected,  as  disproved 
by  the  well  known  fact  that  they  had  failed  to  do  this,  and  also  as  an  imputation 
upon  the  divine  goodness  and  wisdom,  implying  that  God  was  unwilling  to  give  a 
sufficient  revelation,  and  left  something  for  men  to  supply ;  or  that  men  could  express 
the  truths  revealed,  in  better  words,  and  in  expressions  less  liable  to  misconstruction 
than  those  selected  by  the  Holy  Spirit.  It  was  insisted  that  the  Scriptures,  inter- 
preted in  conformity  with  the  fixed  laws  of  language,  could  convey  but  the  same 
ideas  to  all  unbiassed  minds  respecting  every  thing  necessary  to  salvation :  and  that, 
if,  perchance,  difference  of  sentiment  should  arise,  respecting  minor  and  incidental 
matters,  these  inferences  or  opinions  were  to  be  distinguished  from  faith,  and  were 
neither  to  be  made  a  term  of  communion,  nor  imposed  by  one  Christian  upon  an- 
other. Or,  to  express  the  whole,  in  the  language  of  Thomas  Campbell,  'Nothing 
was  to  be  received  as  a  matter  of  faith  or  duty,  for  which  there  could  not  be  pro- 
duced a  thus  saith  the  Lord,  either  in  express  terms,  or  by  approved  Scripture  prece- 
dent.' " 

This  overture  for  a  religious  reformation  being  rejected  by  the  Seceders  as  a  body, 
but  embraced  by  some  members,  an  application  was  made  to  the  pious  of  all  denomi- 
nations in  the  vicinity,  and  a  declaration  and  address  drawn  up  and  printed,  in  which 
all  were  invited  to  form  a  union  upon  the  principles  above  stated.  A  considerable 
number  of  individuals  responded,  and  a  congregation  was  organised  at  Brush  Run,  in 
Washington  county,  September  10th,  1810,  where  a  house  of  worship  was  erected, 
and  ministerial  duties  were  performed  conjointly  by  Mr.  Thomas  Campbell  and  his 
son  Alexander,  who  had  been  duly  ordained  pastors  of  the  church. 

Becoming,  ere  long,  persuaded  that  immersion  was  the  only  true  form  of  baptism, 
the  little  chnrch,  with  their  pastors,  were  immersed  by  Elder  Luse,  of  the  Baptist 
community,  on  the  12th  June,  1812.  This  event  proved  important,  for  it  was  eventu- 
ally the  means  of  bringing  the  society  Into  the  Baptist  Church.  For,  although  averse 
to  a  combination  with  any  religious  denomination  as  such,  they  deemed  the  princi- 
ples of  the  Baptists  favorable  to  reformation  and  religious  freedom,  and  believed  that 
as  they  had  it  in  their  power  to  procure  their  own  independence  as  a  church,  a  con- 
nection with  the  Baptists  would  afford  them  a  more  extended  field  of  usefulness. 
Accordingly  in  the  autumn  of  1813.  they  were  received  into  Redstone  Baptist  Associa-

tion,  carefully  stipulating  in  writing,  that  "  No  terms  of  union  or  communion  other 
than  the  Holy  Scriptures  should  be  required." 

"  The  novelty  of  these  simple  views,  which  Alexander  Campbell,  as  messenger  of 
the  church  of  Brush  Run,  urged  upon  the  association,  excited  considerable  stir  in 
that  body.  But,  ere  long,  a  jealousy,  on  the  part  of  some  leadinn  members,  of  his 
increasing  popularity  and  commanding  talents,  led  them  to  inveigh  against  his  prin» 
ciples,  and  finally  created  so  much  disunion  in  the  association  and  animosity  toward,' 
the  church  of  Brush  Run,  that  the  latter,  to  avoid  its  effects,  dismissed  about  thirt 
members,  including  Alexander  Campbell,  to  "Wellsburg,  Va.,  where  they  were  con  - 
stituted  as  a  new  church,  and,  upon  application,  were  admitted  into  the  Mahoning 
Association  of  Ohio,  with  some  of  whose  members  they  had  already  formed  a  favor- 
able intimacy.  This  body  proved  more  liberal  in  its  views,  and  the  reformers  were 
pleased  to  find  in  it  not  only  liberality  of  feeling,  but  a  disposition  to  follow  implicitly 
the  dictates  of  the  Scriptures.  Meetings  of  preachers  were  held  to  consider  and 
investigate  the  ancient  and  apostolic  order  of  things;  and,  at  length,  nearly  the 
whole  association  came  by  degrees  into  the  views  presented ;  so  that,  in  1828,  it 
rejected  finally  all  human  formularies  of  religion,  and  relinquished  all  claim  to  juris- 
diction over  the  churches,  resolving  itself  into  a  simple  annual  meeting  for  the  pur- 
pose of  receiving  reports  of  the  progress  of  the  churches,  for  worship,  and  mutual  co- 
operation in  the  spread  of  the  gospel. 

"  The  influence  of  so  large  a  number  of  churches,  embracing  a  considerable  portion 
of  the  Western  Reserve,  with  several  able  preachers,  necessarily  gave  great  exten- 
sion to  the  principles  advocated  by  Mr.  Campbell.  In  a  short  time,  however,  the 
abandonment  of  usages  long  cherished  by  the  Baptists,  and  the  introduction  of  views 
and  practices  not  commonly  received  by  them,  gave  rise  to  so  much  umbrage  and 
opposition  on  the  part  of  the  adjoining  churches,  that  they  denounced  as  heretical 
and  excluded  from  fellowship,  all  churches  that  favored  the  views  of  the  reformers. 
The  schism  soon  extended  to  Kentucky,  to  eastern  Virginia,  and  to  all  the  Baptist 
churches  and  associations  into  which  the  views  of  Mr.  Campbell  had  extended ;  the 
Baptists  in  all  cases  separating  from  their  communion  all  favoring  the  sentiments  of 
the  Disciples,  who,  on  being  thus  cut  off,  formed  themselves  everywhere  into  distinct 
churches,  independent  of  each  other's  control,  but  holding  the  same  sentiments,  hav- 
oig  the  same  fellowship,  and  continuing  to  carry  out  the  great  principles  originally 
orofessed,  exhorting  all  men  to  return  to  the  Bible  alone,  and,  in  the  language  of 
Thomas  Campbell,  to  co-operate  together  for  '  the  restoration  of  primitive,  apostolic 
Christianity,  in  letter  and  spirit,  in  principle  and  practice.'  " 

After  the  separation,  prejudices  began  to  subside  and  misapprehensions  to  be 
jorrected,  on  the  part  of  the  Baptists,  many  of  whom  came  over,  from  time  to  time, 
to  the  ranks  of  the  Disciples,  while  many  others  were  admitted  to  fellowship  with 
the  latter  without  being  excluded  from  communion  with  their  Baptist  brethren.  In- 
deed, many  of  the  Baptist  clergy,  as  the  objects  of  the  Disciples  became  better  under- 
stood, came  to  approve  them  ;  and  even  to  a  certain  extent  to  adopt  their  sentiments. 
♦3o  great  has  been  the  approximation,  that  the  most  friendly  feelings  now  almo<' 
everywhere  exist  between  ihe  Disciples  and  the  Baptists.  f 

•■  Meanwhile  the  Disciples  have  rapidly  increased  in  number,  not  by  these  acees 
sions  from  other  denominations  so  much,  as  by  a  general  diffusion  of  their  principle! 
amongst  all  parties,  and  especially  by  an  almost  unprecedented  success  in  the  con- 
version of  those  who  had  not  as  yet  embraced  any  of  the  religious  systems 
of  the  day.  Many  have  come  over  from  the  Presbyterians:  some  from  the 
Episcopalians  and  from  the  Lutherans ;  but  more,  both  of  preachers  and  peo- 
ple, from  the  Methodists.  A  few  Universalists  have  united  with  them,  renounc- 
ing their  own  distinguishing  tenets;  some  Roman  Catholics  also;  some  Tunkers; 
English  and  Scotch  Baptists,  and  Independents.     Indeed,  some  from  almost  every

;'The  controversies  which  have  attended  its  progress,  have  been  neither  few  nor 
unimportant;  but  their  object  has  ever  been  the  exhibition  and  defence  of  truth 
and,  though  it  were  too  much  to  say  that  imperfect  views,  and  inconsiderate  ex- 
pressions have  not,  at  times,  proceeded  from  even  the  most  prudent  of  its  advocates 
giving  rise  to  various  misconceptions  and  misrepresentations  on  the  part  of  its  oddo-

entire  conformity  of  the  church  to  the  requirements  of  the  sacred  volume

Baptism.— They  believe  immersion  to  be  the  only  Scriptural  mode  of  Baptism  as 
necessary  to  the  privileges  of  the  kingdom  of  the  Messiah,  and  as  a  solemn  pledge 
on  the  part  of  heaven  of  the  actual  remission  of  all  past  sins,  and  of  adoption  into 
the  family  of  God.  Every  one  who  sincerely  believes  the  testimony  which  God  save 
of  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  "  This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased  •"  or  in 
other  words,  believes  what  the  evangelists  and  apostles  have  testified  concerning 
him  from  his  conception  to  his  coronation  in  heaven  as  Lord  of  all,  and  who  is  willing 
to  obey  him  in  every  thing,  they  regard  as  a  proper  subject  of  immersion  and  no 
one  else.  ' 

The  Scriptures— Of  both  Testaments  they  regard  as  containing  revelations  from 
God  and  as  all  necessary  to  make  the  man  of  God  perfect  and  accomplished  for  every 
,  good  word  and  work.  The  New  Testament,  or  the  living  oracles  of  Jesus  Christ 
says  Mr.  Campbell,  they  understand  as  containing  the  Christian  religion  The  tes- 
timonials of  Matthew,  Mark,  Luke,  and  John,  they  view  as  illustrating  and  proving 
the  great  proposition  on  which  our  religion  rests,  viz. :  that  Jesus  of  Nazareth  is  the 
Messiah,  the  only  begotten  and  well  beloved  Son  of  God,  and  the  only  Saviour  of  the 
world.  The  acts  of  the  Apostles,  as  a  divinely-authorized  narrative  of  the  beginning

developing  the  tendencies  of  the  Gospel  in  the  behavior  of  its  professors  ;  and  all  as 
forming  a  complete  standard  of  Christian  faith  and  morals,  adapted  to  the  interval 
between  the  ascension  of  Christ,  and  his  return  with  the  kingdom  which  he  has  re- 
ceived from  God  ;  the  Apocalypse,  or  Revelation  of  Jesus  Christ  to  John,  in  Patmos, 
as  a  figurative  and  prospective  view  of  all  the  fortunes  of  Christianity,  from  its  date 
to  the  return  of  the  Saviour. 

The  Disciples  have  no  confession  of  faith,  as  such,  other  than  the  Holy  Scriptures. 

Their  literary  institutions  are  numerous,  and  sustained  with  liberality.  Besides 
many  semiuaries  of  learning,  they  have  several  well  endowed  colleges,  one  of  which, 
at  Bethany,  Va.,  being  designed  for  the  education  of  the  whole  man,  physical,  moral, 
and  intellectual,  ranks,  in  character  and  number  of  students,  with  the  oldest  institu- 
tions in  the  country. 

They  have  some  2,000  Churches,  2,000  Ordained  Ministers,  and  about  350,000 
Members,  principally  in  the  Middle,  South-western,  and  Western  States. 


GERMAN  BAPTISTS,    OR  BRETHREN. 

This  small  body  of  Christians  had  their  rise  in  1708,  at  Schwartzenau,  in  Germany. 
The  first  members  were  Alexander  Mack  and  wife,  John  Kjssin  and  wife,  George 
Grevy,  Andreas  Biiony,  Lucas  Fetter,  and  Joanna  Nethigum.  Being  neighbors, 
they  agreed  to  hold  meetings  at  each  other's  houses,  to  read  the  Bible,  and  edify  one 
another.  In  these  meetings,  males  and  females  took  part.  Becoming  convinced  that 
immersion  was  the  apostolic  and  only  proper  form  of  baptism,  they  desired  to  become 
baptised,  and  requested  Alexander  Mack  to  perform  the  rite.  But  the  latter  de- 
clined, not  believing  himself  to  have  been  indeed  baptised.  They  then  cast  lots  for 
the  administrator,  and  were  baptised  in  the  river  Eder,  when  they  formed  themselves 
into  a  church,  choosing  Alexander  Mack  for  their  miuister.  They  increased  rapidly, 
and  extended  to  Marienbom,  under  the  ministry  of  John  Naas.  and  to  Epstein, 
under  the  pastoral  charge  of  Christian  Levy.  Misrepresentation,  ridicule,  and  per- 
secution, ere  long,  drove  them  from  the  latter  places  to  Holland  and  Crefelt,  and  their 
friends  of  the  mother  church  shortly  removing  from  Schwartzenau  to  Serustervin,  in 
Friesland,  and  thence,  in  1719,  to  Pennsylvania,  in  America,  they  followed  them, 
landing  at  Philadelphia  in  the  fall  of  1729. 

The  Brethren  settled,  some  at  Germantown,  a  few  at  Skippack,  others  at  Oley,  and 
still  others  at  Conestoga,  in  all  of  which  places  they  formed  religious  societies,  which, 
in  process  of  time,  had  their  influence  upon  the  surrounding  inhabitants. 

They  are  now  dispersed,  more  or  less,  through  every  State  in  the  Union,  but  are 
most  numerous  in  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  Virginia,  Ohio,  and  Indiana.  It  is  diffi- 
cult to  arrive  at  their  real  number,  as  the)'  keep  no  exact  account  of  their  churche', 
or  communicants. 

They  have  no  publicly  admitted  confession  of  faith  other  than  the  Scriptures. 

The  general  order,  where  the  congregations  are  small,  is  to  hold  their  meetings  at 
private  houses ;  where  the  congregations  are  large,  to  erect  places  expressly  for  wor- 
ship. Some  of  the  latter  are  very  large,  and  without  a  gallery  or  pulpit.  Every 
brother  is  allowed  to  stand  up  and  speak  in  exposition  and  exhortation.  When  one 
of  these  is  found  to  possess  an  aptitude  for  teaching,  he  is  chosen  for  a  minister,  and 
ordained  with  laying  on  of  hands,  fasting,  prayer,  and  the  right  hand  of  fellowship. 


AMERICAN'    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  4t 

Ministers  are  paid  no  fixed  salary,  but  are  supported  by  presents,  according  to  the 
ability  and  disposition  of  the  giver. 

Each  congregation  has  from  two  to  three  preachers,  and  some  even  more.  In 
traveling  and  preaching,  there  are  in  general  two  together,  and  very  frequently  one 
addresses  the  assembly  in  German,  and  the  other  in  English. 

Their  Officers  are  bishops  (or  ministers),  elders,  teachers,  and  deacons  (or  visiting 
b  ethren).  They  also  have  deaconesses,  aged  women,  who  are  allowed  t.o  exercise 
tieir  gifts  statedly. 

Bishops  are  chosen  from  the  teachers,  after  they  have  been  fully  tried  and  found 
faithful.  It  is  their  duty  to  travel  from  one  congregation  to  another,  to  preach,  to 
officiate  at  marriages,  and  funerals,  to  set  in  order  whatever  may  be  wanting,  to  be 
present  at  love  feasts  and  communions,  when  a  bishop  is  to  be  ordained,  when 
teachers  or  deacons  are  chosen  or  elected,  and  when  any  officer  is  to  be  excommu- 
nicated. 

An  elder  is  the  first 'or  eldest  chosen  teacher  in  a  congregation  where  there  is  no 
bishop.  It  is  his  duty  to  appoint  meetings,  to  assist  in  excommunication,  to  exhort 
and  preach,  to  baptise,  to  travel  occasionally,  and,  where  no  bishop  is  present,  to 
perforin  all  the  duties  of  the  latter. 

Teachers  are  chosen  by  vote.  It  is  their  duty  to  exhort  and  preach  at  any  of  their 
stated  meetings,  and  when  so  requested  by  a  bishop  or  elder,  to  perform  the  cere- 
monies of  matrimony  and  of  baptism. 

It  is  the  duty  of  deacons  to  keep  a  constant  oversight  of  poor  widows  and  their 
children,  and  give  them  such  aid  from  time  to  time  as  may  be  necessary ;  to  visit  all 
the  families  in  the  congregation,  at  least  once  a  year,  and  exhort,  comfort,  and  edify 
them,  as  well  as  reconcile  all  offences  and  misunderstandings  that  may  occur  from 
time  to  time ;  and,  when  ueeessary,  to  read  the  scriptures,  pray  and  exhort,  at  the 
regular  meetings. 

The  brethren  have  an  annual  meeting  of  their  bishops,  teachers  and  other  mem- 
bers who  may  be  sent  as  representatives  from  the  various  congregations.  At  this 
meeting  a  committee  of  five  (usually  of  the  eldest  bishops  present)  is  chosen,  to  hear 
and  receive  such  cases  as  may  be  brought  before  them  by  the  representatives  of  the 
different  congregations,  which  are  afterwards  discussed  and  decided,  and  then  re- 
corded and  printed  in  German  and  English,  and  sent  to  the  teachers  of  the  different 
co-  ..jregations  in  the  United  States,  who,  on  receiving  them,  or  as  soon  as  convenient, 
r  act  them  to  the  rest  of  the  brethren,  by  which  course  they  preserve  a  unity  of  sen- 
timent and  opinion  throughout  all  their  congregations. 

Principles. — They  dress  with  unusual  plainness:  will  not  take  an  oath,  nor  fight; 
keep  the  first  day  as  the  Sabbath ;  will  suffer  loss  rather  than  go  to  law ;  are  care- 
ful of  one  another's  reputation  and  feelings;  lend  at  less  than  lawful  interest  to  the 
poor;  are  industrious,  frugal,  sober,  temperate,  kind,  charitable,  sociable  and  genial; 
attentive  and  liberal  to  the  poor ;  constant  in  attendance  upon  private  and  public 
worship ;  cling  with  unyielding,  faith  to  the  Holy  Scriptures,  which  they  revere  as 
the  true  Word  of  Gud,  and  which  they  read  daily ;  and  though  they  hesitate  not,  in 
preaching  and  exhortation,  to  proclaim  God's  threatenings  and  judgments  against  the 
v  icked,  yet,  in  accordance  with  their  leading  principles  of  Love  and  Good  Will,  they 
p'efer  to  speak  of  His  love  and  goodness,  and  to  cultivate  faith,  concord  and  love. 

They  are  variously  called  in  derision,  by  their  enemies,  Tankers,  from  "  tunken," 
to  sop  or  dip  a  morsel  in  sauce,  and  Tumblers t  from  the  manner  in  which  they  per- 
form baptism. 

Usages. — In  baptism  they  use  the  trine  baptism,  with  prayer,  laying  on  of  hands, 
and  immersion,  the  convert  kneeling,  in  which  position  he  is  plunged  head  forward 
under  water,  resembling  the  motion  of  the  body  in  the  act  of  tumbling :  hence  one  of 
the  nicknames  applied  to  them  by  the  thoughtless  and  unfriendly. 


48  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

They  celebrate  the  Lord's  Supper  in  the  primitive  manner,  that  is.  with  a  love- 
feast,  the  washing  of  feet,  the  kiss  of  charity,  and  the  right  hand  of  fellowship. 

They  anoint  the  sick  with  oil,  for  recovery. 

They  make  religion  cheerful,  pleasant  and  genial,  and  whatever  they  believe  their 
Savior  commands  they  practice,  without  inquiring  or  regarding  what  others  do. 

Their  literature  is  limited. 

Their  churches  number  about  160  ;  their  ordained  ministers  about  250,  and  their 
members  8700. 

Though  they  have  no  admitted  rule  of  faith,  other  than  the  Scriptures,  their  belief 
may  be  easily  summed  up  in  the  following,  from  one  of  their  ablest  preachers : 

DOCTRINE. 

1.  That  God  the  Father  and  the  Maker  of  heaven  and  earth  is  no  respecter  of 
persons;  but  that  in  every  nation  he  that  feareth  Him  and  worketh  righteousness, 
is  accepted  of  Him. 

2.  That  God  so  loved  the  world  that  he  gave  his  only  begotten  Son,  that  whoso- 
ever believeth  on  Him  should  not  perish  but  have  everlasting  life. 

3.  That  God  sent  his  Son  into  the  world  to  seek  and  to  save  that  which  was  lost. 

4.  That  He  is  able  to  save  to  the  uttermost  all  that  come  unto  God  through  the 
crucified  Redeemer,  who  tasted  death  for  every  man,  and  was  manifested  to  destroy 
the  works  of  the  devil. 

5.  That  all  who  believe  in  Christ,  love  God,  and  serve  Him,  doing  His  will  in  faith 
and  righteousness,  will  attain  salvation. 

6.  That  they  who  live  and  die  impenitent  and  in  sin,  will  have  their  reward  eter- 
nally with  the  devil  and  his  angels. 


RIVER  BRETHREN. 

This  denomination,  which  had  its  rise  during  the  revolutionary  war,  in  faith  and 
practice  is  so  like  that  of  the  German  Baptists,  or  Brethren,  that,  excepting  a  few 
particulars,  a  description  of  one  is  a  description  of  the  other.  Several  societies  in 
Lancaster  County,  Pa.,  were  organized  about  the  same  time ;  one  near  the  Susque- 
hanna River,  another  on  Conestoga  Creek.  By  way  of  local  distinction,  the  latter 
were  called  the  Conestoga  Brethren ;  those  on  or  near  the  Susquehanna,  the  River 
Brethren,  an  appellation  by  which  the  organization  is  now  generally  known,  to  dis- 
tinguish its  members  from  the  German  Baptists  or  Brethren. 

Among  the  several  German  denominations  on  the  Susquehanna,  especially  among 
the  Mennonites,  at  that  time  the  most  numerous  society  in  Lancaster  County,  awaken- 
ings were  quite  common.  In  the  infancy  of  the  River  Brethren,  a  few  awakened 
Mennonites,  Lutherans,  German  Baptists,  and  German  Reformed  Brethren,  whoso 
hearts  were  closely  joined  together,  and  had  a  common  interest  both  in  the  cause  of 
general  religion  and  in  one  another's  individual  welfare,  met,  as  a  social,  devout 
band,  from  house  to  house,  to  make  prayer  and  supplication  for  the  continued  influ- 
ence of  God's  Spirit.  Out  of  these  social  circles  was  organized  the  association  of  the 
River  Brethren. 

From  the  day  of  the  great  awakening  in  1733-1740,  a  great  change  in  religious 
feeling  and  reflection  had  come  over  society,  which  was  further  deepened  by  the 
extraordinary  revivals  in  1744,  1757,  and  1772;  and  out  of  this  change  camej  with. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

exceeding  prominence,  the  practical  idea  of  the  New-Birth — the  doctrine  that,  in 
order  to  be  saved,  a  man  must  undergo  a  change  in  his  feelings  and  principles  of 
moral  action,  which  will  be  either  accompanied  or  succeeded  by  exercises  of  which 
he  is  conscious,  and  can  give  no  account ;  so  that  those  who  have  been  thus  changed, 
may  ordinarily  be  distinguished  from  those  who  have  not. 

This  idea  took  a  deep  hold  of  the  early  River  Brethren,  and  entered  so  extensively 
into  their  religious  views,  as  to  become,  with  them,  a  prominent  feature.  It  neces- 
sitated a  deep  concern  in  their  own  and  their  neighbors'  spiritual  welfare,  and  into 
their  Christianity  infused  a  life  and  activity  which,  ere  long,  drew  over  to  them  many 
ministers  and  laymen  of  all  denominations.  Among  their  first  ministers  were  Jacob 
Engkel,  Hans  Excel,  and  C.  Rupp.  Soon  after  the  formal  organization  of  churches 
in  Pennsylvania,  Jacob  Excel  visited  Canada,  and  at  a  later  period,  Ohio,  to  estab- 
lish societies.  The  denomination  has  since  grown,  and  societies  now  exist  in  Bucks, 
Dauphin,  Franklin,  Lancaster,  Westmoreland,  York,  and  other  counties  in  Pennsyl- 
vania, and  in  several  parts  of  Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Canada  West. 

They  recognize  three  orders  of  officers,  bishops  (ministers),  elders,  and  deacons, 
who  are  chosen  as  are  those  of  the  Brethren,  and  whose  duties  also  correspond. 

Their  clergymen  receive  no  salary  nor  pecuniary  remuneration  for  ministerial  ser- 
vices. In  some  instances,  when  the  circumstances  of  the  case  call  for  it,  the  expenses 
of  the  pastor  are  met  by  voluntary  contributions. 

Their  ministers,  in  general,  though  not  educated  in  the  modern  sense,  are  devoted, 
laborious,  useful,  and  self-denying. 

Usages. — They  reject  infant  baptism,  baptising  only  believing  adults.  Like  the 
Brethren,  they  perform  Baptism  by  trine  immersion. 

Their  church  ordinances  are  Baptism,  Feet  Washing,  the  Lord's  Supper,  and  the 
Communion. 

They  wear  their  beards  unshorn. 

They  reduce  to  practice,  in  respect  to  diversity  of  sentiment,  on  minor  points  of  re- 
ligion, what  good  sense  every  where  enjoins  upon  good  men — forbearance. 

They  have  no  confession  of  faith  other  than  the  Scriptures. 

Their  ministers  officiate  usually,  though  not  exclusively,  in  the  German  language. 

They  invite  all  Christians  to  the  Lord's  table. 

An  Annual  Conference  is  held  in  the  Spring,  at  Easton,  Pa,,  and  a  month  or  two 
later,  one  in  Canada  West,  in  which  bishops,  elders,  deacons,  and  laymen  take  part. 

All  their  meetings  on  church  business,  and  for  worship,  except  in  a  few  places,  are 
held  in  dwelling-houses,  and,  if  the  season  admits,  in  barns,  fitted  up  with  seats. 
This  is  not  so  much  for  economy  (for,  though  a  prudent,  they  are  not  a  parsimonious 
people),  as  for  an  example  in  that  modest  humility  taught  by  the  Divine  Master,  whose 
precepts  they  love  to  practice  as  to  hold  them  in  their  hearts. 

Like  the  Brethren,  they  will  not  take  oaths,  nor  have  any  part  in  war. 

They  have  no  literature,  as  such. 

As  near  as  can  be  learned,  for  they  keep  no  records,  printed  or  written,  of  their 
ecclesiastical  affairs,  they  count  about  80  churches,  65  ministers,  and  7,000  members. 


GERMAN   SEVENTH-DAY   BAPTISTS. 


About  1694,  the  Protestant  Associations  of  Germany  were  much  agitated  by  cer- 
tain conscientious  men  to  remove  many  abuses  and  errors  that  had  crept  into  the 
church.     This  agitation  led  to  a  general  and  careful  reading  of  the  Scriptures  by  the

people,  to  learn  what  they  really  did  contain  in  doctrine;  among  others,  by  Alexan- 
der Mack,  and  the  small  devoted  band  that  originated  the  German  Baptists,  or 
Brethren.  Meeting  with  persecution  as  they  grew  into  importance,  at  the  hands  of 
the  popular  church,  they  finally  emigrated  to  America,  and  settled  in  various  parts 
of  Pennsylvania,  a  small  portion  of  them  at  Mill  Creek,  in  Lancaster  county,  where 
they  immediately  established  a  church.  Of  this  community  was  one  Conrad  Bussell, 
who  had  been  a  Presbyterian,  and  fled  from  the  persecutions  which  at  that  time 
were  the  lot  of  all  who  dared  to  have  an  individual  opinion  different  from  the  doc- 
trines of  the  established  church.  A  close  and  conscientious  Bible  reader,  he  conceived 
that  the  seventh  was  the  only  Sabbath  day  established  and  sanctified  by  the  Lord, 
and  felt  it  to  be  his  duty  to  contend  for  its  observance  as  such.  In  1725,  he  pub- 
lished a  tract  upon  the  subject,  which  created  much  excitement  at  Mill  Creek,  and 
brought  upon  him  so  much  persecution  that  he  secretly  retired  to  a  cell  on  the  banks 
of  the  Cocalico.  in  the  same  county,  which  had  previously  been  occupied  by  a  hermit 
named  Elimelech.  Whither  he  had  gone  remained  long  unknown  to  the  inhabitants 
of  Mill  Creek,  many  of  whom  had  in  the  interim  embraced  his  view  of  the  Sabbath, 
and.  on  discoveriug  his  retreat,  these  settled  around  him,  in  solitary  cottages,  and 
adopted  the  seventh  day  for  the  Sabbath. 

In  1732,  the  solitary  life  was  changed  into  a  conventicle  one,  and  a  monastic 
society  was  established  as  soon  as  the  first  building  erected  for  the  purpose  was 
finished.  The  brethren  wore  a  shirt,  trousers,  and  vest,  with  a  long  white  gown  and 
cowl ;  the  sisters,  the  usual  female  under  garments,  and  a  like  gown  and  cowl.  In 
17-40,  they  numbered  thirty-six  single  brethren,  and  thirty-five  sisters.  The  commu- 
nity was  a  republic,  in  which  all  stood  upon  a  perfect  equality.  No  monastic  vows 
were  taken,  nor  had  they  any  written  covenant.  The  New  Testament,  in  the  words 
of  their  ablest  historian,  Yvni.  M.  Fahnstock,  was  their  confession  of  faith,  their  code 
of  laws,  and  their  church  discipline.  The  property  of  the  society  was  common  stock ; 
but  none  were  obliged  to  throw  in  their  property  nor  to  give  up  their  possessions. 
Besides  the  brethren  in  the  cloister,  the  community  numbered  many  families  dwelling 
around  them  in  separate  cottages.  The  society  was  at  first  very  poor,  and  the  mem- 
bers were  compelled  to  practice  the  utmost  self-denial,  and  subsist  as  best  they  could 
— a  fact  taken  advantage  of  by  the  unfriendty  to  scatter  ridiculous  reports  charging 
them  with  living  upon  roots  and  vegetables,  sleeping  upon  wooden  benches,  and  with 
small  wooden  blocks  for  pillows,  for  the  purposes  of  penance.  Their  circumstances 
were  restricted,  and  it  was  imperative  upon  them  to  study  the  strictest  economy.  As 
the  community  advanced,  they  were  supported  by  the  income  of  their  agricultural 
products,  their  grist,  oil,  fulling,  and  paper  mills,  and  the  labor  of  the  brethren  and 
sisters  in  the  cloister.  "With  improvement  in  their  means  came  improvement  in  their 
comforts  ;  though  they  have  ever  studied  simplicity,  temperance,  and  frugality. 

Besides  the  above  original  society  at  Ephrata,  a  branch  was  established,  in  1758, 
at  Bermudian  Creek,  in  York  county;  another  in  17 Go,  in  Bedford  county,  which 
still  flourishes,  and  many  members  are  scattered  through  the  state.  Snow  Hill,  their 
present  principal  settlement,  is  highly  prosperous,  and  on  the  activity,  energy,  and 
piety  of  its  members,  great  hopes  are  predicated  by  the  denomination,  which  still 
continues  to  meet  with  much  persecution  from  sectarian  neighbors,  on  account  of  its 
seventh-day  and  other  views. 

This  body  has  throughout  been  unjustly  represented  and  persecuted  by  other  sects, 
who,  while  insisting  loudly  upon  religious  freedom  for  themselves,  are  unwilling 
practically  to  accord  it  to  others. 

The  Literature  of  the  Seventh-Day  Baptists  is  extensive;  but  consisting  principally 
of  hymns  and  anthems,  many  of  which  arc  very  elegant  and  beautiful,  and  princi- 
pally the  composition  of  their  founder,  himself  a.  fine  writer  and  musician;  and  of 
several  able  doctrinal  tracts  and  more  extensive  publications.     Some  of  their  music, 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  51 

peculiar  to  themselves,  is  exceedingly  grand  and  solemn,  and  thought  by  many  fully 
to  equal,  if  not  certainly  surpass,  in  tenderness,  grandeur,  and  richness,  the  finest 
and  stateliest  of  that  of  famed  St.  Peter's. 

Usages.— They  pay  no  salary  to  their  ministers,  believing  that  the  Gospel  was  sent 
without  money  and  without  price,  and  that  every  one  called  to  preach  should  do  it 
solely  from  love  to  God  and  men.  Individual  members  give  presents,  in  money  and 
goods,  what  they  see  fit;  and  when  a  needy  minister  travels,  for  religious  purposes 
his  expenses  are  supplied  out  of  the  general  treasury. 

The  order  of  worship  is  as  follows:  1.  A  Hymn;  2.  Prayer  (nil  kneeling-  3  The 
reading  at  the  request  of  the  minister,  of  a  chapter  in  the  Scriptures,  by  any  one  of 
the  brethren  who  may  use  his  own  judgment  in  the  selection ,  4.  Exposition  of  the 
chapter  by  the  minister;  5.  Enforcement  upon  the  congregation  of  the  duties  spoken 
of  in  the  chapter,  by  exhorters,  male  and  female;  G.  Prayer  and  singing  and  1  The 
reading  of  a  Psalm,  in  place  of  the  usual  benediction. 

They  invite  to  the  Lord's  table  all  wiio  profess  to  love  their  Divine  Master  with- 
out assuming  to  judge  who  is  worthy  or  unwortl^. 

_    They  celebrate  the  Lord's  Supper  at  night,  after  the  close  of  the  Sabbath  which 
in  their  view,  terminates  at  sunset.     The  rite  is  attended  by  washing  of  feet ' 

They  recognize  two  orders  of  officers— ministers,  deacons.  All  who  have  speaking 
gifts  may  exhort.  r  ° 

Trine-immersion  is  their  form  of  baptism.  While  confining  this  ordinance  to  adult 
-.-.dren  of  believing  parents  are  publicly  received  into  the  care  of  the  church  by  the 
ikying  on  of  hands.  '    J 

They  do  not  wear  long  beards,  as  is  said  of  them  by  the  unfriendly,  nor  practice 
penances,  for  mortifying  the  flesh,  nor  renounce  matrimony  on  entering  the  society 

Celibacy  they  consider  a  virtue,  but  do  not  require  it,  nor  take  any  vows  in  refer- 
ence to  it.  On  the  contrary,  when  a  couple  desire  to  marry,  they  are  pecuniarilv 
aided,  when  necessary,  by  the  society. 

Though  opposed  to  war,  as  unchristian,  yet,  in  the  Revolution,  they  took  a  decided 
stand  on  the  side  of  the  patriots. 

Peace-loving,  and  desiring  to  set  an  example  of  forbearance  and  christian  meek- 
ness they  long  endured  wrong  and  plunder  at  the  hands  of  neighbors  and  enemies 
but  have  been,  from  time  to  time,  compelled  to  resort  to  courts  of  justice  for  protec- 
tion and  redress.  F 

As  a  people  they  are  modest,  intelligent,  law-abiding,  simple,  frugal,  industrious, 
courteous  and  hospitable,  and  remarkable  for  their  honesty,  their  Snobtrusiveness 
and  a  careful  regard  for  their  word. 

They  number  about  187  ministers,  and  1800  members 

They  recognise  no  rule  of  faith  but  the  Holy  Scriptures.  They  admit  no  license 
with  the  letter  or  the  spirit  of  the  Bible,  and  will  not  allow  one  jot  or  tittle  to  be 
added  or  rejected  in  the  administration  of  the  ordinances. 

GENERAL   BELIEF. 

, .  1\  Th1e^  believ,e  that  "a11  Scripture  is  given  by  inspiration  of  God,  and  is  profita 
ole  lor  doctrine,  for  correction,  for  instruction  in  righteousness,  that  the  man  of  Go(V 
may  be  perfect,  and  thoroughly  furnished  unto  all  good  works  " 

2  They  believe  in  the  divinity  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  and  the  Trinity  of  the 
Godhead         There  are  three  that  bear  record  in  heaven,  the  Father,  the  Word  and 

+?°iy  a  °St:  a?d  theSe  three  are  one'  And  there  are  three  that  bear  witness  in 
earth,  the  Spirit,  the  water  and  the  blood:  and  these  three  agree  in  one  " 

3.  They  believe  that  salvation  is  of  grace,  and  not  of  works,  and  thev  rely  solely  oh 
the  merits  and  atonement  of  Christ  ^ 


52  AMERICAN'   CHRISTIAN'   RECORD. 

4.  They  believe  that  Christ's  atonement  is  sufficient  for  every  creature;  that 
Christ  died  for  all  who  will  call  upon  his  name,  and  offer  fruits  .meet  for  repentance ; 
and  that  all  who  come  to  Christ,  are  drawn  of  the  Father. 

5.  They  believe  the  seventh  to  be  the  original  and  only  Sabbath  day  directed  and 
sanctified  by  the  Lord,  who  has  never  abrogated  nor  changed  it,  hy  nny  warrant  or 
edict  to  be  found  in  His  word. 

6.  The  believe  in  the  apostolic  form  of  baptism. 

7.  They  disclaim  the  right  of  withholding  the  sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper  from 
any  disciple  professing  to  love  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  claiming  the  privilege,  as  a  fol- 
lower of  the  crucified  Redeemer,  by  presenting  himself  at  the  table,  without  assum- 
ing to  judge  who  is  worthy  and  who  unworthy;  but  adhere  to  the  words  of  Paul — 
"  Let  a  man  examine  for  himself,  and  so  let  him  eat  of  that  bread  and  drink  of  that 
cup;"  and,  "Therefore,  judge  nothing  before  the  time,  until  the  Lord  come,  who 
will  bring  to  light  the  hidden  things  of  darkness,  and  will  make  manifest  the  coun- 
sels of  the  hearts,  and  then  shall  every  man  have  praise  of  God. 

8.  They  believe  in  the  happiness  of  the  righteous,  and  the  punishment  of  the 
wicked.  But  they  do  not  bold  that  Adam's  fall  condemns  indiscriminately  all  born 
souls,  believing  that  many  die  without  sinning — infants,  for  example;  but  they  think 
and  teach  that  in  Adam's  fall,  all  disposition  to  good  and  holiness  was  lost,  and  that 
the  whole  race  inherit  a  natural  innate  depravity,  which  will  lead  them  to  sin,  and 
prove  their  sure  condemnation,  unless  they  repent,  and  are  born  again  of  the  Holy 
Spirit. 


CHRISTIAN'   CONNEXION. 

This  body  of  Christians  owe  their  existence  to  a  combination  of  circumstances,  not 
to  the  efforts  of  any  one  man.  They  rose  nearly  simultaneously  iu  different  sections 
of  the  country,  without  any  preconcerted  plan  or  even  knowledge  of  each  other's 
movements.  After  a  few  years,  they  learned  of  each  other's  existence,  as  Christian 
bodies,  and  upon  correspondence  were  agreeably  surprised  to  discover  that  all  had 
embraced  nearly  the  same  principles,  and  had  in  view  the  same  system  of  reform:  a 
coincidence  which  leads  them  to  believe  they  are  a  people  raised  up  under  the  im- 
mediate direction  of  God,  and  the  ground  they  have  assumed  as  one  that  will  finally 
absorb  all  party  distinctions  in  the  church. 

After  the  Revolution,  the  Methodists,  who  had  previously  been  dependent  on  the 
Church  of  England  for  the  administration  of  ordinances,  and  who,  together  with  the 
country,  were  then  left  free  to  transact  their  own  affairs,  set  about  establishing  an 
episcopal  form  of  church  government.  To  this,  many  of  the  preachers,  imbued  with 
the  free  spirit  of  the  times,  strenuously  objected,  pleading  for  a  congregational  form 
and  for  the  New  Testament  as  their  creed  and  discipline.  But  the  great  body  of  the 
church  being  against  them,  they  seceded,  at  Mauakin  Town,  N.  G.  December  25th, 
1793,  and  took  the  name  of  Republican  Methodists,  which,  however,  they  relin- 
quished at  a  subsequent  conference  and  assumed  the  simple  appellation  of  Christians, 
determined  thenceforth  to  know  no  head  but  Christ,  and  no  creed  or  discipline  but  the 
Bible. 

Xear  the  close  of  the  eighteenth  century,  Dr.-  Mmer  Jones,  of  Hartland,  Vermont, 
of  the  regular  Baptist  Church,  disturbed  by  sectarian  names  and  human  creeds,  as  so 
many  walls  of  separation  between  the  people  of  God,  and  satisfied  that  they  ought  to 
be  abandoned,  and  true  piety  alone  be  made  the-  only  test  of  Christian  fellowship  and

sympathisers  and  supporters,  and  in  September,  1800  he  had  alynftj

They  are  numerous  in  New  England,  the  Middle  States,  and,  indeed,  throughout 
the  Union,  the  Canadas,  and  Nova  Scotia.  B 

Their  literature  is  both  solid  and  extensive.  The  Christian  General  Book  Associa- 
tion, at  Albany,  NY,  issues  annually,  several  important  volumes,  marked,  in  the 
mam,  by  high  talent,  together  with  an  able  weekly  journal,  entitled  The  Christian  Palla,

edited,  for  the  most  part,  with  an  intelligence  fully  up  to  the  age.      _      _       ,..•■«. 

They  have  several  institutions  of  learning  (see  Colleges  and  Seminaries  of  the  J. 
S )  and  an  interest  in  the  free  Theological  School  at  Meadville,  Pa. 

Their  ministers  mostly  preach  extempore,  but  rarely  without  having  previously 
given  the  subject  due  study  and  reflection. 

As  a  denomination,  they  are  strong,  numbering  about  2,200  ministers,  2,200 
churches,  and  180,000  communicants. 

GENERAL   CREED. 

1.  That  God,  the  source  and  fountain  of  all  good,  is  the  rightful  arbiter  of  the  uni- 

2.  That  Jesus  Christ  is  the  only  begotten  Son  of  God,  and  existed  with  the  Father 

before  all  worlds.  . 

3  That  the  Holy  Ghost  is  that  divine  unction  with  which  our  Saviour  was 
anointed ;  the  effusion  that  was  poured  out  on  the  day  of  Pentecost ;  and  a  divine 
emanation  of  God,  by  which  be  exerts  an  energy  or  influence  on  rational  minds. 

4.  That  the  Holy  Scriptures  were  given  of  inspiration  of  God. 

5    That  all  men  have  sinned,  and  come  short  of  the  glory  of  God. 

6.  That  with  God  there  is  forgiveness ;  but  that  sincere  repentance  and  reforma- 
tion are  indispensable  to  the  forgiveness  of  sins.  _ 

I.  That  man  is  constituted  a  free  moral  agent,  and  made  capable  of  obeying  the 

gospel.  ,     .  c 

8.  That,  through  the  agency  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  souls,  in  the  use  ol  means,  are 
converted,  regenerated,  and  made  new  creatures. 

9.  That  Christ  was  delivered  for  our  offences,  and  raised  again  for  our  justification ; 
that  through  his  example,  doctrine,  death,  resurrection,  and  intercession,  he  has 
made  salvation  possible  to  every  one,  and  is  the  only  Saviour  of  lost  sinners. 

10.  That  baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper  are  ordinances  to  be  observed  by  all  true 
believers ;  and  that  baptism  is  the  immersing  of  the  candidate  in  water,  in  the  name 
of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

II.  That  a  life  of  watchfulness  and  prayer  only  will  keep  Christians  from  falling, 
cnabie  them  to  live  in  a  justified  state,  and  ultimately  secure  to  them  the  crown  of 

eternal  life. 

12.  That  there  will  be  a  resurrection  both  of  the  just  and  the  unjust. 

13!  That  God  has  ordained  Jesus  Christ  judge  of  the  quick  and  dead  at  the  last 
day;'  and  at  the  judgment,  the  wicked  will  go  away  into  everlasting  punishment,  and 
the  righteous  into  life  eternal. 


ROMAN  CATHOLICS. 

The  Roman  Catholics  date  their  early  history  in  the  United  States  with  the  found- 
ing of  the  first  settlement  in  Maryland,  under  Governor  Leonard  Calvert,  brother  of 
Lord  Baltimore.  This  body  of  emigrants,  consisting  of  about  200  gentlemen  of  re- 
spectability and  fortune,  chiefly  Roman  Catholics,  with  numerous  inferior  adherents, 
landed  in  Maryland,  near  the  mouth  of  the  Potomac,  in  the  beginning  of  1633.  On 
disembarking,  the  governor  erected  a  cross  on  the  shore  and  took  possession  of  the 
country  for  ?our  Saviour  and  our  sovereign  lord  the  King  of  England.'    The  Indians 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORt).  S5 

treated  the  colonists  with  much  sullenness,  at  first;  but  the  liberality  and  courtesy  of 
the  governor  at  length  conciliated  their  regard,  to  whom  they  ceded  an  extensive 
tract  of  territory,  including  an  Indian  town,  which  the  settlers  proceeded  immediately 
to  occupy,  and  to  which  they  gave  the  name  of  St.  Mary's. 

The  Indians  not  disturbing  the  colonists,  lord  Baltimore  persuaded  others  to  follow 
them,  assigning  to  every  emigrant  fifty  acres  in  fee  simple,  furnishing  them  with  a 
year's  stores,  paying  their  passage  out,  and,  as  a  further  inducement  to  the  hesitating, 
pledging  his  word,  as  proprietor,  that  religious  toleration  should  prevail.  The  latter 
had  weight,  and  emigrants  of  all  religious  denominations  left  Europe  for  the  new 
colony  in  large  numbers.*  Unhappily,  however,  the  doubtless  noble  intention  of  lord 
Baltimore,  in  respect  to  religious  harmony  and  freedom,  obtained  only  for  a  time. 
The  elements  of  discord  were  in  the  colonists  themselves.  But  it  is  not  in  our  pro- 
vince to  enter  further  into  the  experience  of  the  founders  of  Maryland,  nor  into  the 
political  history  of  the  colonists  of  that  State.  "We  must  however,  in  justice,  add, 
that  the  Assembly  of  Maryland,  composed  mainly  of  Roman  Catholics,  in  the  memo- 
rable 'Act  concerning  Religion,'  was  the  first  in  the  colonies  of  that  day  to  establish 
religious  toleration  by  law. 

The  denomination  is  untiring  in  its  energies  for  the  spread  of  its  doctrine,  which 
claims  to  be  that  of  the  only  pure  and  apostolic  church.  Its  order  of  officers  is  as 
follows:  1.  Archbishops;  'A.  Bishops;  3.  Coadjutors,  or  assistant  bishops;  4.  Priests; 
5.  Deacons.  The  church  is  very  extensively  diffused,  and  divided  into  dioceses,  over 
each  of  which  presides  a  bishop,  who  holds  authority  over  all  the  churches  and 
priests  in  the  same. 

The  church  property  of  each  diocese  is  held  by  the  bishop  in  trust  for  Ms  succes- 
sors in  office. 

Priests  to  each  church -are  appointed  by  the  bishop  of  the  diocese,  to  whom  alone 
they  are  responsible.  The  bishop  is,  in  his  turn,  responsible  to  the  archbishop,  and 
the  archbishop  to  the  pope. 

Tlie  literature  of  the  denomination  is  extensive.  Besides  several  able  weekly  jour- 
nals and  other  periodicals,  its  contributions  to  the  various  departments  of  literature 
are  numerous,  continuous,  and  marked  in  the  main  by  an  ability  at  least  as  high  as 
that  of  any  of  its  cotemporaries. 

Its  educational  institutions  are  large  in  number,  and  adapted  to  all  the  wants  and  tastes 
of  its  people.  Beside  numerous  colleges,  ecclesiastical  seminaries,  and  male  and  female 
academies,  it  has  a  large  number  of  schools  under  well-trained  teachers,  specially  self- 
consecrated  to  the  calling,  who  carefully  instil  into  the  mind  of  the  young  the  princi- 
ples of  the  Roman  Catholic  faith  side  by  side  with  secular  studies.  In  addition  to 
these  are  several  convents,  each  of  which  has  an  academy  for  ornamental  education, 
and  where  the  studies,  conducted  by  teachers  selected  for  the  superiority  of  their  de- 
meanor, are  singularly  adapted  to  the  cultivation  of  the  external  graces,  and  to  fasci- 
nating and  gradually  overawing  the  mind.  One  peculiarity  in  the  educational  insti- 
tutions of  this  sect  is,  that  the  teachers  are  specially  trained,  and  selected  to  their 
posts  for  their  zeal,  their  finish  as  scholars,  and  the  superiority  of  their  address. 

Celibacy  is  regarded  as  a  virtue  in  its  ministers,  who,  on  taking  the  vows  of  their 
order,  devote  themselves  exclusively  to  Christ,  and  pledge  themselves  to  a  life  of 
singleness,  that  they  may  be  wholly  free  to  serve  the  interests  of  his  cause. 

Friaries,  though  not  yet  numerous  in  the  United  States,  are  beginning  to  be  in- 
troduced. 

The  peculiarities  in  the  doctrines  of  the  denomination  will  be  seen  in  the  annexed 
summary,  copied  from  one  of  its  manuals  : 


66  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 


SUMMARY  OF  CHRISTIAN  DOCTRINE. 


"WHAT  EVERY  CHRISTIAN  MUST  BELIEVE. 

1.  Every  Christian  must  believe  that  there  is  one  God,  and  no  more  than  one  God: 
that  this  God  is  a  pure  Spirit,  the  Lord  and  Maker  of  heaven  and  earth,  who  has 
neither  beginning  nor  end,  but  is  always  the  same;  is  everywhere  present;  knows 
and  sees  all  things ;  can  do  all  things  whatsoever  he  pleases ;  and  is  infinite  in  all 
perfections. 

2.  Every  Christian  is  bound  to  believe,  that  in  this  one  God  there  are  three  dis- 
tinct persons,  perfectly  equal,  and  of  the  same  substance ;  the  Father,  who  proceeds 
from  no  one ;  the  Son,  who  is  born  of  the  Father,  before  all  ages ;  and  the  Holy  Ghost, 
who  proceeds  eternally  from  the  Father  and  the  Son :  and  that  these  three  persons 
have  all  the  same  intelligence,  the  same  power,  the  same  wisdom,  and  are  all  three 
one  and  the  same  Lord,  one  and  the  same  God. 

3.  We  must  also  believe,  that  this  God  created  the  angels  to  be  with  him  for  ever ; 
and  that  one  part  of  them  fell  from  God  by  sin.  and  became  devils:  that  God  also 
created  Adam  and  Eve,  the  first  parents  of  all  mankind,  and  placed  them  in  the 
earthly  paradise,  from  whence  they  were  justly  banished,  for  the  sin  they  committed 
in  eating  of  the  fruit  of  the  forbidden  tree;  and  that  by  this  transgression  of  Adam, 
we  are  all  born  in  sin,  and  must  have  been  lost  for  ever,  if  God  had  not  sent  us  a 
Saviour. 

4.  "We  are  bound  to  believe  in  this  Saviour  of  all  mankind,  Jesus  Christ,  the  Son 
of  God,  true  God,  and  true  man ;  perfect  God  from  all  eternity,  equal  to  his  Father  in 
all  tilings ;  and  perfect  man,  from  the  time  of  his  coming  down  from  heaven  for  us, 
having  a  body  and  soul  like  us. 

5.  We  must  believe,  that  this  Jesus  Christ,  our  Saviour,  who  had  been  long  fore- 
told by  the  prophets,  was,  at  God's  appointed  time,  conceived  in  the  womb  of  the 
Virgin  Mary,  by  the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  without  having  any  man  for  his  lather, 
and  was  born  of  her,  she  still  remaining  a  pure  virgin  ;  that  during  the  time  of  his 
mortal  life  he  founded  the  Christian  religion,  by  his  heavenly  doctrine,  and  wonder- 
fid  miracles,  and  then  offered  himself  a  sacrifice  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world,  by 
dying  upon  a  cross  to  purchase  mercy,  grace,  and  salvation  for  us,  and  that  neither 
mercy,  nor  grace,  nor  salvation,  ever  could,  since  Adam's  fall,  be  obtained  any  other- 
wise, than  through  this  death  and  passion  of  the  Son  of  God. 

G.  "We  must  believe,  that  Jesus  Christ,  after  he  had  been  dead,  rose  again  on  the 
third  day  from  death  to  life,  never  to  die  any  more  ;  and  that,  for  the  space  of  forty 
days,  he  was  pleased,  at  different  times,  to  manifest  himself  to  his  disciples,  and  then 
ascended  into  heaven  in  their  sight;  where,  as  man,  he  continually  intercedes  for  us. 
From  thence  he  sent  down  the  Holy  Ghost  upon  his  disciples,  to  abide  with  them 
for  ever,  as  he  had  promised,  and  to  guide  them  and  their  successors  into  all  truth. 

7.  We  must  believe  the  CatJwlic  or  universal  Church,  of  which  Christ  is  the  per- 
petual head,  and  his  Spirit  the  perpetual  director;  which  is  founded  upon  a  rock, 
and  is  ever  victorious  over  all  the  powers  of  death  and  hell.  This  Church  is  always 
one,  because  all  its  members  profess  one  faith,  live  in  one  communion,  under  one  chief 
pastor,  the  successor  of  St.  Peter,  to  whom  Christ  committed  the  whole  flock,  St. 
John,  xxi.  15,  1G,  17.  This  same  Church  is  always  holy,  by  teaching  a  holy  doctrine, 
by  inviting  all  to  a  holy  life,  and  by  the  eminent  holiness  of  many  of  her  children. 
She  is  Catholic,  or  universal,  by  subsisting  in  all  ages,  by  teaching  all  nations,  and 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD  51 

maintaining  all  truths :  she  is  Apostolical,  by  deriving  her  doctrine,  her  communion, 
her  orders,  and  her  mission,  by  an  uninterrupted  succession,  from  the  apostles  of 
Christ. 

8.  With  this  Catholic  church  the  scriptures  both  of  the  Old  and  New  Testament 
were  deposited  by  the  apostles.  She  is,  in  her  pastors,  the  guardian  and  interpreter 
of  them.  These  scriptures,  thus  interpreted,  together  with  the  traditions  of  the 
apostles,  are  to  be  received  and  admitted  by  all  Christians  for  the  rule  of  their  faith 
and  practice. 

9.  We  must  believe,  that  Jesus  Christ  has  instituted  in  his  church  seven  sacra- 
ments, or  mysterious  signs,  and  instrumental  causes  of  divine  grace  in  our  souls. 
Baptism,  by  way  of  a  new  birth,  by  which  we  are  made  children  of  God,  and  washed 
from  sin.  Confirmation,  by  which  we  receive  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the  imposition  of 
the  hands  of  the  successors  of  the  apostles,  Acts  viii.  The  blessed  Eucharist,  which 
feeds  and  nourishes  our  souls  with  the  body  and  blood  of  Christ,  really  present, 
under  the  forms  of  bread  and  wine,  or  under  either  of  them.  Penance,  by  which 
penitent  sinners  are  absolved  from  their  sins,  by  virtue  of  the  commission  given  by 
Christ  to  his  ministers,  St.  John  xx,  and  St.  Matthew  xviii.  Extreme  unction,  which 
effaces  the  remaining  stains  of  sin,  and  arms  the  soul  with  the  grace  of  God  in  the 
time  of  sickness,  St.  James  v.  Holy  Orders,  by  which  the  ministers  of  God  are  conse- 
crated. And  Matrimony,  which,  as  a  sacred  sign  of  the  indissoluble  union  of  Christ 
and  his  church,  unites  the  married  couple  in  a  holy  band,  and  imparts  a  grace  to 
them,  suitable  to  that  state,  Eph.  v. 

10.  We  must  believe  that  Jesus  Christ  has  also  instituted  the  great  eucharistical 
sacrifice  of  his  body  and  blood,  in  remembrance  of  his  death  and  passion.  In  this 
sacrifice  he  is  mystically  immolated  every  day  upon  our  altars,  being  himself  both 
priest  and  victim.  This  sacrifice  is  the  principal  worship  of  the  new  law,  in  which, 
and  by  which,  we  unite  ourselves  to  Jesus  Christ,  and  with  him,  and  through  him, 
we  adore  God  in  spirit  and  in  truth,  give  him  thanks  for  all  his  blessings,  obtain  his 
grace  for  ourselves  and  our  neighbors,  pardon  for  all  our  sins,  and  eternal  rest  for  the 
faithful  departed. 

11.  We  must  believe,  that  there  is  in  the  catholic  or  universal  church  of  God,  a 
communion  of  saints,  by  means  of  which  we  communicate  with  all  holy  persons,  and 
in  all  holy  things.  We  communicate  with  the  saints  in  heaven,  as  our  fellow-mem- 
bers under  the  same  head,  Jesus  Christ ;  we  give  thanks  to  God  for  his  gifts  to 
them ;  and  we  beg  a  share  in  their  prayers.  We  communicate  with  all  the  saints 
upon  earth,  in  the  same  sacraments  and  sacrifice,  and  in  a  holy  union  of  faith  and 
charity.  And  we  communicate  with  the  faithful,  who  have  departed  this  life  in  a 
more  imperfect  state,  and  who,  by  the  law  of  God's  justice,  are  for  a  while  in  a  place 
of  suffering,  by  offering  prayers,  alms,  and  sacrifice  to  God  for  them. 

12.  We  must  believe,  also,  the  necessity  of  divine  grace,  without  which  we  cannot 
make  so  much  as  one  step  towards  heaven ;  and  that  all  our  good,  and  all  our  merits 
are  the  gifts  of  God ;  that  Christ  died  for  all  men ;  that  God  is  not  the  author  of  sin ; 
and  that  his  grace  does  not  take  away  our  free  will. 

l?>.  We  must  believe  that  Jesus  Christ  will  come  from  heaven,  at  the  last  day,  to 
judge  us  all;  that  all  the  dead,  both  good  and  bad,  shall  rise  from  their  graves,  at  the 
sound  of  the  last  trumpet,  and  shall  be  judged  by  him  according  to  their  works,  that 
the  good  will  go  to  heaven  with  him,  body  and  soul,  to  be  happy  for  all  eternity,  in 
the  enjoyment  of  the  sovereign  good,  and  that  the  wicked  shall  be  condemned,  both 
body  and  soul,  to  the  torments  of  hell,  which  are  most  grievous  and  everlasting. 

WHAT  EVERY   CHRISTIAN  MUST  DO,    IN  ORDER  TO   OBTAIN  LIFE  EVERLASTING. 

1.  Every  Christian,  in  order  to  obtain  life  everlasting,  must  worship  God  as  hia 


58  AMERICAN'   CHRISTIAN'   RECORD. 

first  beginning  and  last  end.  This  worship  is  to  be  performed,  first  by  Faith,  which 
makes  both  the  understanding  and  the  will  humbly  adore  and  embrace  all  those 
truths  which  God  has  taught,  however  obscure  and  incomprehensible  they  may  be  to 
our  weakness.  Secondly,  by  Hope,  which  relies  on  the  infinite  power,  goodness,  and 
mercy  of  God,  and  the  truth  of  his  promises :  and  upon  these  grounds  the  soul  rises 
to  an  assured  expectation  of  mercy,  grace,  and  salvation,  through  the  merits  of  Jesus 
Christ.  Thirdly,  by  Charity,  which  teaches  us  to  love  God  with  our  whole  hearts, 
for  his  own  sake,  and  our  neighbor  as  ourselves,  for  God's  sake.  Fourthly,  by  the 
virtue  of  religion,  the  chief  acts  of  which  are  adoration,  praise,  thanksgiving,  oblation 
of  ourselves  to  God,  sacrifices,  and  prayer,  which  ought  to  be  the  daily  employments 
of  a  Christian  soul. 

2.  We  must  fly  all  idolatry,  all  false  religion,  and  superstition ;  under  which  names 
are  comprehended  all  manner  of  divinations,  or  pretensions  to  fortune-telling ;  all 
witchcraft,  charms,  spells,  observations  of  omens,  dreams,  &c.  All  these  things  are 
heathenish,  and  contrary  to  the  worship  of  the  true  and  living  God,  and  to  that  de- 
pendence a  Christian  soul  ought  to  have  on  him. 

3.  We  must  reverence  the  name  of  God  and  his  truth,  by  a  religious  observance 
of  all  lawful  oaths  and  vows,  and  by  carefully  avoiding  all  false,  rash,  unjust,  or  blas- 
phemous oaths  or  curses. 

4.  "We  must  dedicate  some  notable  part  of  our  time  to  his  divine  service ;  and 
more  especially  consecrate  to  him  those  days  which  he  has  ordered  to  be  sanctified, 
or  kept  holy. 

5.  Under  God,  we  must  love,  reverence,  and  obey  our  parents,  and  other  lawful 
superiors,  spiritual  and  temporal,  and  observe  the  laws  of  the  church  and  state.  We 
must  have  a  due  care  of  our  children,  and  of  others  that  are  under  our  charge,  both 
as  to  their  soul  and  body. 

6.  We  must  abstain  from  all  injuries  to  our  neighbor's  person,  by  murder  or  any 
other  violence  ;  and  from  all  hatred,  envy,  and  desire  of  revenge  ;  also  from  spiritual 
murder,  which  is  committed  by  drawing  him  into  sin,  by  words,  actions,  or  ill- 
example. 

7.  We  must  abstain  from  adultery,  and  from  all  uncleanness  of  thoughts,  words, 
and  actions,  beyond  the  lawful  use  of  marriage. 

8.  We  must  not  steal,  cheat,  or  any  other  way  wrong  our  neighbor  in  his  goods  and 
possessions.  We  must  give  every  one  his  own,  pay  our  debts,  and  make  restitution 
for  all  unjust  damages  we  have  caused. 

9.  We  must  not  wrong  our  neighbor  in  his  character  or  good  name,  by  detraction 
or  rash  judgments;  or  in  his  honour,  by  reproaches  and  affronts;  or  rob  him  of  his 
peace  of  mind  by  scoffs  or  contempt :  or  of  his  friends,  by  carrying  stories  back- 
wards and  forwards,  in  all  of  which  cases,  whosoever  wrongs  his  neighbour,  is  obliged 
to  make  restitution  or  satisfaction. 

10.  As  we  are  commanded  to  abstain  from  all  deeds  of  lust  and  injustice,  so  are 
we  also  strictly  obliged  to  restrain  all  desires  of  them,  and  to  resist  the  irregular 
Amotions  of  concupiscence.  So  far,  the  ten  commandments,  which  are  a  short  abridg- 
ment of  the  whole  eternal  and  natural  law,  which  admits  of  no  dispensation.

ROMAN  CATHOLIC  OF  PURGATORY. 
ttfromthefr  S'  JSS  K  *?<*  whole6ome  thought  to  Pra7  for  the  Dead,  that  they  may  be  freed 

This  is  the  inference  drawn  by  the  Sacred  Historian  from  the  charitable  attention 
of  Judas  the  Hachabee  to  his  deceased  fellow-soldiers.  That  illustrious  warrior  made 
a  gathering  of  twelve  thousand  drachms  of  Silver,  which  he  sent  to  Jerusalem,  to  get 
sacrifice  offered  for  his  companions  in  arms,  who  had  purchased  with  their  lives  the 
glorious  victory  just  then  obtained  over  the  enemies  of  the  people  of  God  :  thinking 
well  says  the  text,  concerning  the  resurrection,  and  considering  that  those  who  had 
died  in  godliness,  had  great  grace  laid  up  for  them.  The  inference  here  drawn— that 
it  was  holy  and  wholesome  to  pray  for  the  dead,  evidently  supposes  a  Third  State 
where  departed  souls  are  relieved  by  the  suffrages  of  their  surviving  brethren,  and  in 
the  supposition  of  such  a  state,  most  justly  is  that  inference  drawn  ;  for  that  cannot 
but  be  holy  and  most  acceptable  to  God,  which  in  the  order  of  charity  established  by 
himself,  interposes  in  behalf  of  our  suffering  fellow-creatures,  whose  unexpiated 
transgressions  in  this  life  expose  them  after  death  to  the  rigour  of  infinite  justice. 

So  express  a  testimony,  in  support  of  this  point  of  the  Catholic  doctrine,  is  alone 
sufficient  to  confound  the  effrontery  of  those  who  would  brand  that  doctrine  with 
innovation. 

The  passage  is  too  explicit  to  be  tortured  into  any  other  meaning  ;  nor  could  it  of 
course  be  eluded  otherwise  than  by  rejecting  the  whole  book  of  the  Machabees,  from 
which  these  words  are  taken;  though  that  book  was  deemed  canonical  scripture  by 
the  earliest  and  most  respectable  writers  of  the  Christian  Church.  Tertullian,  St. 
Cyprian,  St.  Hilary,  St.  Ambrose,  St.  Austin ;  and  the  third  Council  of  Carthage 
held  it  to  be  such  ;  and  it  was  quoted  as  divine  by  Origen  himself,  as  also  by  St. 
Jerome,  who  therefore,  when  he  called  it  Apocryphal,  could  mean  nothing  else  by 
the  expression  than  that  the  book  of  Machabees  being  written  after  the  time  of  Esdras 
was  not  in  his  compilation  The  term  Apocryphal,  was  applied  by  these  same  wri- 
ters to  certain  parts  of  the  New  Testament,  which,  though  formerly  doubted  of  for  a 
time,  until  tradition  had  been  fully  elucidated,  are  now  received  as  canonical.  But 
waiving,  for  the  present,  the  canonicity  of  this  book,  and  allowing  it  nothing  more 
than  historical  credence,  that  Prayer  and  Sacrifice  for  the  dead  were  the  established 
practice  of  the  Jewish  Church  in  the  time  of  the  Machabees ;  that  is,  two  hundred 
years  before  the  Christian  era.  Nor  was  this  practice  ever  condemned  by  our  Re- 
deemer, though  he  so  often  reprobated  the  erroneous  traditions  of  the  Jews,  and  ar- 
gued with  them  on  the  subject  of  the  Resurrection :  which,  agreeably  to  the  remark 
of  Doctor  Jeremy  Taylor,  he  would  certainly  have  condemned,  were  not  that  practice 
innocent,  pious,  and  full  of  charity.  In  the  New  Testament,  Purgatory  is  adverted 
to,  rather  as  a  point  already  believed,  than  as  one  recently  delivered.  Our  Saviour 
talks  of  a  sin  against  the  Holy  Ghost,  which  shall  not  be  forgiven  in  this  world,  nor  in 
the  world  to  come  ;  indicating,  as  St.  Austin  thinks,  that  other  sins  may  be  forgiven 
after  this  life.  But  as  such  forgiveness  cannot  be  in  Hell,  whence  there  is  no  re- 
demption ;  nor  in  Heaven,  where  nothing  in  need  of  forgiveness  can  be  admitted  ; 
it  must  allude  to  the  third  state,  called  by  the  Catholic  Church  Purgatory.  Christ 
says,  that  God  will  render  to  every  one  according  to  his  works  ;  and  that  even  of 
an  idle  word  we  must  render  an  account.  Yet  can  it  be  supposed  that  an  idle  word, 
though  we  are  accountable  for  it,  shall  for  ever  deprive  us  of  God's  friendship,  and 
condemn  us  to  everlasting  misery  ?  No ;  most  certainly  :  being  however  a  stain  in 
the  Soul,  it  cannot  be  admitted  into  Heaven,  where  nothing  defiled  can  enter  :  it 
must  then  be  expiated  in  that  prison,  out  of  which  there  shall  be  no  discharge  until 


60  .   AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

after  the  payment  of  the  last  farthing.  St.  Paul,  in  his  epistle  to  the  Corinthians, 
supposes  this  doctrine  ;  when  having  declared  that  the  several  works  built  upon  the 
foundation  laid  by  Christ  shall  be  made  manifest  at  the  last  day  ;  he  adds,  that  the 
gold,  or  perfect  works,  shall  abide  the  trial ;  that  the  wood,  the  hay.  the  stubble,  by 
which  are  meant  the  imperfect  works,  shall  burn ;  but  being  built  upon  the  right 
foundation,  though  the  man  who  thus  worketh  shall  suffer  loss,  he  shall  be  saved, 
continues  the  Apostle,  yet,  so  as  by  fire. 

In  this  manner  do  Origen,  St.  Jerome,  St.  Austin,  St.  Paulinus,  and  Theodoret 
(these  luminaries  of  primitive  Christianity),  explain  that  passage :  and  their  united 
testimony  is  demonstrative  evidence,  that,  this  being  the  belief  of  the  Catholic  world 
in  their  time,  it  must  have  been  a  part  of  that  precious  deposit  transmitted  by  the 
Apostles  to  those  who  were  to  succeed  them.  Upon  no  point  whatsoever  is  tradi- 
tion clearer,  or  more  explicit,  than  upon  the  doctrine  of  purgatory.  In  all  ancient 
liturgies,  without  exception,  prayers  for  the  dead  are  to  be  found  :  the  Fathers 
of  the  Church  are  unanimous  in  this  doctrine;  as  may  be  readily  seen,  by  a 
reference  to  the  passages  quoted  from  them  by  the  late  learned  and  pious  Alban 
Butler,  in  his  discourse  upon  all  Souls'  day ;  whence  the  foregoing  reflections  havo 
been,  almost  entirely,  taken  :  and  these  same  testimonies  diligently  investigated  by 
Mr.  Thorndike,  a  celebrated  Protestant  Divine,  compelled  him  to  acknowledge  that 
the  practice  of  interceding  for  the  dead,  in  the  celebration  of  the  Eucharist,  is  so  gen- 
eral and  so  ancient,  that  it  cannot  be  attributed  to  imposture,  without  involving  com- 
mon Christianity  in  the  same  indiscriminating  censure.  Doctor  Forbes,  another 
divine  of  that  communion,  whose  testimony  here  is  of  the  greater  weight,  as  he  had 
carefully  searched  into  antiquity,  to  conciliate  all  parties  and  to  promote  the  peace 
of  Christendom,  cautions  those  of  his  religion  against  rejecting  prayers  and  oblations 
for  the  dead ;  he  advises  them  rather  to  reverence  the  primitive  Church,  and  to 
admit  a  practice  confirmed  by  the  uninterrupted  profession  of  so  many  ages ;  believed 
to  be  not  only  lawful  in  itself,  but  beneficial  to  the  souls  departed ;  and  delivered,  if 
not  in  the  writings  of  the  Apostles,  at  least  in  those  of  the  primitive  Fathers,  as 
their  several  works  announce.  To  say  that  the  doctriue  of  Purgatory  is  not  Apos- 
tolical, only  because  it  is  not  clearly  expressed  in  the  New  Testament,  is,  at  least,  a 
very  rash  assertion  :  first,  because  many  tilings  are  umversally  received  as  Apostol- 
ical, which  are  not  to  be  found  in  Scripture;  such  as  infant  Baptism,  together  with 
the  Nicene  and  Athanasian  Creed :  secondly,  because  the  Gospel  itself  tells  us,  that 
all  things  said  and  done  by  our  Saviour,  are  not  written:  thirdly,  because  St.  Paul 
gives  it  in  charge  to  the  Thessalonians  to  stand  fast,  and  hold  the  tradition  winch 
they  had  been  taught ;  whether  by  word,  or  by  the  Epistle  :  and.  lastly,  because,  as 
St.  Austin  has  it.  though  the  doctrine  were  nowhere  mentioned  in  the  Scriptures,  yet 
the  authority  of  the  whole  Church,  which  in  this  point  is  conspicuous,  must  be  con- 
sidered as  of  the  utmost  moment. 

It  is  therefore  manifest,  from  the  universality  of  this  belief  and  practice,  that  with- 
out supposing  a  general  combination  of  the  whole  Catholic  world  to  deceive  posterity, 
it  must  be  acknowledged  that  the  doctrine  of  Purgatory  has  no  other  origin  than  the 
Eternal  Fountain  of  Truth.  No  Roman  Catholic  can,  therefore,  entertain  the  smallest 
doubt  of  it.  It  lias  been  expressly  defined  by  the  Church,  and  has  ever  been  con 
Bidered  as  an  Article  of  Faith.  But  nothing  more  concerning  it  is  necessary  to  be 
believed,  than  that  the  souls  detained  in  Purgatory,  are  relieved  by  the  suffrages  of 
the  Faithful.  "What  its  precise  punishments  are,  whether  the  anguish  be  merely 
mental,  or  whether  the  souls  there  detained  are  tortured  with  elementary  Fire ;  in 
short,  what  the  duration  of  their  punishment  is ;  whether  days,  months,  years,  or 
ages,  we  know  not  with  absolute  certainty,  the  Church  having  decided  nothing  upon 
any  of  these  particular  subjects.  Yet  that  the  pains  of  Purgatory  far  exceed  whatso- 
ever torture  we  are  acquainted  with  on  earth,  seems  clearly  to  follow  from  the  design 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN'    RECORD.  61 

or  object  of  this  purgation.  Its  design  is  to  atone  adequately  to  the  rigor  of  Infinite 
Justice  for  the  offences  committed  by  the  creature  against  the  Creator :  to  atone  thus 
by  sufferings  undergone  in  the  sinner's  own  person  after  death;  when  there  shall 
neither  be  mercy  nor  merit ;  but  an  atonement  inexorably  exacted  to  the  full,  or 
until  the  very  last  farthing  shall  be  discharged. 

Moreover,  when  the  soul  is  disengaged  from  the  body,  and  from  all  those  clogs 
winch  encumber  its  activity ;  when  no  one  vicissitude  can  occur  to  interrupt  its  at- 
tention ;  when  the  detad  of  its  anguish  is  incessantly  felt ;  when  its  past  numberless 
imperfections,  together  with  the  horrible  deformity  of  former  mortal  sins,  forgiven 
indeed  as  to  the  eternal  punishment,  but  reserved  now  for  temporal  infliction,  are 
unveiled  clearly  before  it ;  all  these  circumstances  must  surely  excite  an  extreme  ex- 
cruciation. But  in  addition  to  this,  when  the  enrapturing  beauty  of  the  Godhead  is 
beheld  in  distant  prospect;  when  his  eternal  joys  expand  every  wish;  and,  as  it 
were,  stretch  the  soul  upon  the  rack  of  its  own  intense  desires ;  must  not  a  repulse 
from  this  ocean  of  bliss,  in  these  circumstances,  excite  an  anguish  far  exceeding  the 
energies  of  all  sublunary  fire  ?  The  souls  in  Purgatory  love  God  indeed ;  they  love 
him  most  ardently ;  their  whole  being  is  a  Holocaust  of  love  ;  but  though  such  love 
in  this  world  can  alleviate  all  our  hardships,  sweeten  all  our  afflictions,  and  abridge 
the  sense  of  their  duration,  by  giving  wings  to  time ;  that  very  love  in  Purgatory 
must  augment  the  afflictions  of  those  that  are  detained  there ;  the  more  they  love 
God,  the  more  ardently  do  they  sigh  to  possess  him ;  the  more  intensely  do  they 
lament  their  separation.  Besides,  though  it  be  not  an  article  of  Faith  that  they  are 
tormented  by  real  elementary  fire,  it  is  still  the  opinion  of  St.  Austin,  and  of  the 
other  Holy  Fathers,  founded  upon  the  words  of  St.  Paid,  as  well  as  upon  the  tradi- 
tionary authority  of  eminent  prelates  in  the  first  ages  of  the  Church.  St.  Thomas, 
after  St.  Austin,  and  St.  Cyril  of  Jerusalem,  is  of  opinion  that  the  fire  of  Purgatory 
differs  only  in  duration  from  the  fire  of  Hell ;  St.  Hilary  calls  the  fire  of  Purgatory 
indefatigable.  It  is  further  to  be  observed  that  these  illustrious  and  suffering  souls 
are  now  totally  unable  to  relieve  themselves :  they  look  to  the  prayers,  to  the  alms, 
and  to  the  other  good  works  of  their  brethren  on  this  earth,  which  can  administer 
comfort  to  them,  and  shorten  the  term  of  their  punishments,  in  virtue  of  the  commu- 
nion of  saints  :  all  which  considerations  most  urgently  call  upon  us  to  interpose  daily 
and  assiduously  in  their  behalf.  Blessed  are  the  merciful,  for  they  shall  obtain  mercy: 
and  as  we  measure  out  to  others,  it  shall  be  measured  back  to  ourselves.  Our  own 
interest  shall  be  an  additional  incentive  to  the  practice  of  this  charitable  devotion. 
If  by  our  exertions,  our  suffering  fellow-members  shall  derive  a  mitigation  of  their 
punishments,  and  shall  be  more  speedily  admitted  into  glory ;  they  will  never  be  un- 
mindful of  their  benefactors ;  they  will  incessantly  put  up  their  powerful  prayers  and 
intercessions,  before  the  throne  of  God,  to  obtain  of  him  the  forgiveness  of  our  offences, 
the  grace  of  sincere  and  effectual  repentance,  and  the  numberless  graces  we  stand  in 
need  of. 


PRINCIPLES   OF   ROMAN   CATHOLICS. 

Section  I. — 1.  The  fruition  of  God,  and  the  remission  of  sin  are  not  attainable  by 
man,  otherwise  than  in  and  by  the  merits  of  Jesus  Christ,  who  gratuitously  purchased 
them  for  us. 

2.  The  merits  of  Christ  are  applied  to  us  chiefly  by  the  sacraments,  which  pre-sup- 
pose  and  indispensably  require  in  us  a  right  faith. 

1 


hi  AMERICAN*  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

3.  This  faith  is  but  one,  entire,  and  conformable  to  its  object,  which  is  divine 
revelation,  and  to  which  faith  gives  an  undoubtable  assent. 

4.  This  revelation  contains  many  mysteries,  transcending  the  natural  reach  of  human 
understanding;  wherefore, 

5.  It  became  the  Divine  wisdom  and  goodness  to  provide  sdme  way  or  means 
whereby  man  might  arrive  to  the  knowledge  of  these  mysteries;  means  visible  and 
apparent  to  all;  means  proportioned  to  the  capacities  of  all;  means  Sure  and  certain 
to  all. 

6.  This  way  or  means  is  not  the  reading  of  the  Scripture,  interpreted  according  to 
the  private  reason  or  judgment  of  each  particular  person  or  nation ;  but, 

7.  It  is  an  attention  and  submission  to  the  voice  of  the  Catholic  or  universal 
church,  established  by  Christ  for  the  instruction  of  all;  spread  for  that  end  through 
all  nations,  and  visibly  continued  in  the  succession  of  pastors  and  people  through  all 
ages.  From  this  church,  guided  in  truth,  and  secured  from  error  in  matters  of  faith, 
by  the  promised  assistance  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  every  one  ma}'  learn  the  right  sense 
of  the  Scriptures,  and  such  Christian  mysteries  and  duties  as  arc  necessary  to  sal- 
vation. 

8.  This  church,  thus  established,  thus  spread,  thus  continued,  thus  guided  in  one 
uniform  faith  and  subordination  of  government,  is  that  which  is  tormed  the  Roman 
Catholic  Church ;  the  qualities  just  mentioned — unity,  indeficienoy,  visibility,  succes- 
sion, and  universality,  being  evidently  applicable  to  her, 

9.  From  the  testimony  and  authority  of  this  church,  it  is  that  we  receive  the 
Scriptures,  and  believe  them  to  be  the  word  of  God ;  and  as  she  can  assuredly  tell 
us  what  particular  book  is  the  word  of  God,  so  she  can,  with  the  like  assurance,  tell 
us  also  the  true  sense  and  meaning  of  it  in  controverted  points  of  faith ;  the  same 
spirit  that  wrote  the  Scriptures,  directed  her  to  understand  both  them  and  all  matters 
necessary  to  salvation.     From  these  grounds  it  follows,  that, 

10.  Only  truths  revealed  by  Almighty  God,  and  proposed  by  the  church,  to  be  be- 
lieved as  such,  are,  and  ought  to  be  esteemed  articles  of  Catholic  faith. 

11.  As  an  obstinate  separation  from  the  unity  of  the  church,  in  known  matters  of 
faith,  is  heresy,  so  a  wilful  separation  from  the  visible  unity  of  the  same  church,  in 
matters  of  subordination  and  government,  is  schism. 

12.  The  church  proposes  unto  us  as  matters  of  faith,  first  and  chiefly,  the  Holy 
Scripture,  and  the  points  plain  and  intelligible  in  it,  which  she  authoratively  expounds, 
determining  its  meaning  as  understood  from  the  commencement.  Secondly,  divine 
and  Apostolical  traditions,  derived  from  Christ  and  his  Apostles  to  all  succeeding 
ages.  These  doctrines  are  proposed  chiefly  in  the  definitions  of  Popes  and  general 
councils. 

Section  II. — 1.  The  pastors  of  the  church,  who  are  the  doctrinal  tribunal,  either 
dispersed  or  convened  in  council,  have  received  no  commission  from  Christ  to  frame 
new  articles  of  faith,  these  being  solely  divine  revelations ;  but  only  to  explain  and 
to  ascertain  to  us  what  anciently  was  and  is  received  and  retained  as  of  faith,  in  the 
church  when  debates  and  controversies  arise  upon  these  subjects.  These  definitions 
in  matters  of  faith,  and  proposed  as  such,  oblige  all  the  faithful  to  an  interior  assent. 
But, 

2.  It  is  no  article  of  faith  that  the  church  cannot  err  either  in  matters  of  fact,  or  in 
matters  of  speculation  or  civil  policy,  depending  on  mere  human  reason ;  these  not 
being  divine  revelations  deposited  in  the  Catholic  church. 

3.  The  ecclesiastical  tribunals  may  judge  incorrectly  as  to  the  morals  of  an  indi- 
vidual, through  false  information,  though  the  church  cannot  err  in  defining  the  gene- 
ral principles  of  morality  as  deduced  from  divine  revelation. 

4.  In  matters  appertaining  to  local  discipline,  or  rites,  the  privilege  of  infallibility

A&fcRlCAtt  (JttfclBTlAi?  RfiCOttb.  63 

Cannot  be  urged;  but  points  of  universal  discipline,  solemnly  sanctioned  by  decrees 
of  the  church,  can  never  prove  adverse  to  divine  revelation  or  sound  morals. 

5.  Catholics  believe  that  the  Bishop  of  Rome,  successor  of  St.  Peter,  is  the  head 
of  the  whole  Catholic  church ;  in  which  sense  this  church  may  therefore  be  stylod 
Roman  Catholic,  being  an  universal  body  united  under  one  visible  head.  Neverthe- 
less, 

6.  The  obedience  which  Catholics  owe  the  Pope,  or  Bishop  of  Rome,  is  not  ex-, 
tended  to  the  performance  of  any  immoral  act,  or  to  the  violation  of  any  of  the  duties, 
which  as  citizens  we  owe  our  country,  or  the  established  form  of  government ;  the 
authority  of  the  Pope  being  of  a  scriptural  nature,  and  directed  to  maintain  the  integ- 
rity of  faith  and  morals,  and  to  form  of  all  the  members  of  Christ  one  body,  and  ono 
fold,  under  one  head  and  one  pastor,  Christ  himself  being  the  supreme  invisible  head 
and  pastor. 

7.  Catholics  do  not  believe  that  the  Pope  has  authority  to  free  them  from  obliga- 
tions contracted  towards  their  fellow  men,  even  when  not  sanctioned  with  the  so- 
lemnity of  an  oath.  Much  less  do  they  believe  that  the  Pope  can,  at  his  pleasure, 
annul  the  still  more  solemn  obligations  which  have  been  confirmed  with  so  sacred  a 
sanction. 

8.  As  for  the  disputes  or  errors  of  particular  divines,  we  are  in  no  wise  responsi- 
ble for  them;  nor  are  Catholics,  as  such,  justly  punishable  on  their  account — But, 

9.  Personal  misdemeanors,  of  what  nature  soever,  ought  not  to  be  imputed  to  the 
body  of  Catholics,  when  these  misdemeanors  are  not  justifiable  by  the  tenets  of  Catho- 
lic faith  and  doctrine.  For  which  reason,  though  the  stories  of  the  Irish  cruelties,  or 
powder  plot,  had  been  exactly  true,  (which  yet,  for  the  most  part,  are  notoriously 
mis-related)  nevertheless  Catholics,  as  such,  ought  not  to  surfer  for  such  offences,  any 
more  than  the  eleven  Apostles  ought  to  have  suffered  for  the  treachery  of  Judas. 

10.  It  is  a  fundamental  truth  in  our  religion,  that  no  power  on  earth  can  license 
men  to  lie,  or  forswear  or  perjure  themselves,  to  massacre  their  neighbors,  or  destroy 
their  native  country  on  pretence  of  promotiug  the  Catholic  cause  or  religion ;  Fur- 
thermore, all  pardons  or  dispensations,  granted  or  pretended  to  be  granted,  in  order 
to  any  such  ends  or  designs,  could  have  no  other  validity  or  effect  than  to  add  sacri- 
lege and  blasphemy  to  the  above  mentioned  crimes. 

11.  The  doctrine  of  equivocation,  or  mental  reservation,  however  wrongfully  im- 
puted to  the  Catholic  religion,  was  never  thought  of  or  approved  by  the  church;  on 
the  contrary,  simplicity  and  godly  sincerity  are  constantly  inculcated  by  her  as  truly 
Christian  virtues,  necessary  to  the  conservation  of  justice,  truth,  «nd  common  security. 

Section  III. — 1.  Every  Catholic  believes  that  when  a  sinner  repents  of  his  sins, 
from  the  bottom  of  his  heart,  and  acknowledges  his  transgressions  to  God  and  his 
ministers,  the  dispensers  of  the  mysteries  of  Christ,  resolving  to  turn  from  his  evil 
ways,  and  bring  forth  fruits  worthy  of  repentance,  there  is  then,  and  not  otherwise, 
an  authority  left  by  Christ,  to  absolve  such  a  penitent  sinner  from  his  sins;  which 
authority  Christ  gave  to  his  Apostles  and  their  successors,  the  Bishops  and  Priests  of 
this  church  in  those  words,  "Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost;  whose  sins  you  shall  forgive, 
they  are  forgiven  unto  them." 

2.  Though  no  creature  whatsoever  can  make  condign  satisfaction,  either  for  the 
guilt  of  sin  or  the  pain  eternal  due  to  it,  this  satisfaction  being  proper  to  Christ  our 
Saviour  only,  yet  penitent  sinners,  redeemed  by  Christ,  may,  as  members  of  Christ, 
in  some  measure  satisfy  by  prayer,  fasting,  alms  deeds,  and  other  works  of  piety,  for 
the  temporal  pain,  which,  in  the  order  of  Divine  justice,  sometimes  remains  due,  after 
the  guilt  of  sin  and  pain  eternal  have  been  remitted.  Such  penitential  works  are, 
notwithstanding,  no  otherwise  satisfactory,  than  as  joined  to  and  applied  with  that 


64  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

satisfaction  which  Jesus  made  on  the  cross ,  in  virtue  of  which  all  our  good  works 
lind  a  grateful  acceptance  in  the  sight  of  God. 

3.  The  guilt  of  sin  or  pain  eterual  due  to  it,  is  never  remitted  by  what  Catholics 
call  indulgences ;  but  only  such  temporal  punishment  as  remains  due  after  the  guilt 
is  remitted  ;  those  indulgences  being  nothing  else  than  a  mitigation  or  relaxation  of 
the  canonical  penances  enjoined  by  the  pastors  of  the  church  on  penitent  sinners, 
according  to  their  several  degrees  of  demerit.  And  if  abuses  and  mistakes  have  been 
sometimes  committed  either  in  point  of  granting  or  gaining  indulgences  through  the 
remissness  or  ignorance  of  particular  persons,  contrary  to  the  ancient  custom  and 
discipline  of  the  church,  such  abuses  or  mistakes  cannot  reasonably  be  charged  on 
the  church,  or  rendered  matters  of  derision,  in  prejudice  to  her  faith  and  discipline. 

4.  Catholics  hold  that  there  is  a  Purgatory,  that  is  to  say,  a  place  or  state  where 
souls  departing  this  life,  with  remission  of  their  sins  as  to  the  eternal  guilt  or  pain, 
but  yet  obnoxious  to  some  temporal  punishment  still  remaining  due,  or  not  perfectly 
treed  from  the  blemish  of  some  defects  or  deordinations,  are  purged  before  their  ad- 
mittance into  Heaven,  where  nothing  that  is  defiled  can  enter. 

5.  Catholics  also  hold,  that  such  souls  so  detained  in  Purgatory,  being  the  living 
members  of  Jesus  Christ,  are  relieved  by  the  prayers  and  suffrages  of  their  fellow 
members  here  on  earth  ;  but  where  this  place  is,  or  of  what  nature  or  quality  the 
pains  are,  how  long  souls  may  be  there  detained,  in  what  manner  the  suffrages  made 
in  their  behalf  are  applied,  whether  by  way  of  satisfaction  or  intercession,  &c,  are 
questions  which  do  not  appertain  to  faith. 

6.  Xo  man,  though  just,  can  merit  either  an  increase  of  sanctity  in  this  life,  or 
eternal  glory  in  the  next,  independently  of  the  merits  and  passion  of  Christ  Jesus ; 
but  the  good  works  of  a  just  man  proceeding  from  grace  and  charity,  are  so  far  ac- 
ceptable to  God,  as  to  be,  through  his  goodness  and  sacred  promises,  truly  merito- 
rious of  eternal  life. 

7.  It  is  an  article  of  the  Catholic  faith,  that  in  the  most  holy  sacrament  of  the 
Eucharist,  there  is  truly  and  really  contained  the  body  of  Christ  which  was  delivered 
for  us,  and  his  blood  which  was  shed  for  the  remission  of  sins;  the  snbstance  of 
bread  and  wine,  being  by  the  power  of  Christ  changed  into  the  substance  of  his 
blessed  body  and  blood ;  the  species  or  appearance  of  bread  and  wine  still  remain- 
ing.— But, 

8.  Christ  is  not  present  in  this  Sacrament,  according  to  his  natural  way  of  exist- 
ence, that  is,  with  extension  of  parts,  &c.  but  in  a  supernatural  manner :  one  and 
the  same  in  many  places;  his  presence  therefore,  though  real  and  substantial,  is 
sacramentally,  not  exposed  to  the  external  senses,  or  obnoxious  to  corporal  con- 
tingencies. 

9.  Neither  is  the  body  of  Christ  in  this  holy  sacrament  separated  from  his  blood, 
or  his  blood  from  his  body,  or  either  of  them  disunited  from  his  soul  and  divinity ; 
but  all  and  whole,  living  Jesus  is  entirely  contained  under  either  species ;  so  that 
whosoever  receives  under  either  kind  is  truly  partaker  of  the  whole  sacrament,  and 
no  ways  deprived  either  of  the  body  or  blood  of  Christ.     True  it  is : 

10.  Our  Saviour  Jesus  Christ  left  unto  us  his  body  and  blood  under  two  distinct 
species  or  kinds ;  in  doing  which,  he  instituted  not  only  a  sacrament,  but  also  a 
sacrifice,  a  commemorative  sacrifice,  distinctly  showing  his  death  and  bloody  passion 
until  he  comes ;  for  as  the  sacrifice  of  the  cross  was  performed  by  a  distinct  effusion 
of  blood  from  the  body,  so  is  that  sacrifice  commemorated  in  this  of  the  altar,  by  a 
distinction  of  the  symbols.  Jesus  therefore  is  here  given  not  only  to  us,  but  for  us, 
and  the  church  is  thereby  enriched  with  a  true,  proper  and  propitiatoiy  sacrifice, 
usually  termed  the  Mass. 

11.  Catholics  renounce  all  divine  worship  and  adoration  of  images  or  pictures. 
Ood  alone  we  worship  and  adore  ;  nevertheless  we  place  pictures  in  our  churches  to 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  65 

reduce  our  wandering  thoughts,  and  excite  our  memory  towards  heavenly  things. 
Further,  we  allow  a  certain  honour  to  be  shown  to  the  images  of  Christ  and  his 
Saints,  beyond  what  is  due  to  profane  figures  :  not  that  we  believe  any  divinity  or 
virtue  to  reside  in  them,  for  which  they  ought  to  be  honoured,  but  because  the  hon- 
our given  to  pictures  is  referred  to  the  prototype  or  thing  represented.  In  like 
manner, 

12.  There  is  a  kind  of  honour  and  respect  due  to  the  Bible,  to  the  Cross,  to  the 
name  of  Jesus,  to  Churches,  to  the  Sacraments,  &c,  as  things  peculiarly  appertaining 
to  God :  also  to  the  glorious  Saints  in  Heaven,  as  the  friends  of  God,  and  to  Kings, 
Magistrates,  and  superiors  on  earth  ;  to  whom  honour  is  due,  honour  may  be  given, 
without  derogating  from  the  Majesty  of  God,  or  from  that  divine  worship  which  is 
appropriated  to  him.     Moreover, 

13.  Catholics  believe  that  the  blessed  Saints  in  Heaven,  replenished  with  charity, 
pray  for  us  their  fellow  members  here  on  earth  ;  that  they  rejoice  at  our  conversion ; 
that,  seeing  God,  they  see  and  know  in  him  all  things  suitable  to  their  happy  state ; 
that  God  may  be  inclined  to  hear  their  requests  made  on  our  behalf,  and  for  their 
sakes  may  grant  us  many  favours,  therefore  we  believe  it  is  good  and  profitable  to 
desire  their  intercession;  and  that  this  manner  of  invocation  is  no  more  injurious  to 
Christ  our  mediator,  than  it  is  for  one  Christian  to  beg  the  prayers  of  another  in  this 
world.  Notwithstanding  which,  Catholics  are  not  taught  so  to  rely  on  the  prayers 
of  others,  as  to  neglect  their  own  duty  to  God  ;  in  imploring  his  divine  mercy  and 
goodness  ;  in  mortifying  the  flesh  and  its  deeds :  in  despising  the  world ;  in  loving 
and  serving  God  and  their  neighbour ;  in  following  the  footsteps  of  Christ  our  Lord, 
who  is  the  way,  the  truth  and  the  life,  to  whom  be  honour  and  glory  for  ever  and 
ever.     Amen, 


A  PROFESSION  OF   CATHOLIC  FAITH. 

I  N.  N.,  with  a  firm  faith,  believe  and  profess  all  and  every  one  of  those  things, 
which  are  contained  in  that  Creed,  which  the  Holy  Catholic  {Roman)  Church  maketh 
use  of;  to  wit,  I  believe  in  one  God,  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of  heaven  and 
earth,  of  all  things  visible  and  invisible,  and  in  one  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  only  be- 
gotten Son  of  God,  and  born  of  the  Father  before  all  ages ;  God  of  God ;  light  of 
light ;  true  God  of  the  true  God ;  begotten,  not  made ;  consubstantial  to  the  Father, 
by  whom  all  things  were  made.  Who,  for  us  man,  and  for  our  salvation,  came  down 
from  heaven,  and  was  incarnate  by  the  Holy  Ghost  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  and  was  made 
man.  "Was  crucified  also  for  us  under  Pontius  Pilate ;  he  suffered  and  was  buried,  and 
the  third  day  he  rose  again  according  to  the  Scriptures.  He  ascended  into  heaven ; 
sits  at  the  right  hand  of  the  Father,  and  is  to  come  again  with  glory,  to  judge  the 
living  and  the  dead ;  of  whose  kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end.  And  in  the  Holy 
Ghost,  the  Lord  and  life-giver,  who  proceeds  from  the  Father  and  the  Son,  who,  to- 
gether with  the  Father  and  the  Son,  is  adored  and  glorified,  who  spoke  by  the  Pro- 
phets. And  (I  believe)  One  Holy,  Catholic,  and  Apostolic  Church,  I  confess  one 
Baptism  for  the  remission  of  sins :  and  I  expect  the  resurrection  of  the  dead,  and  the 
life  of  the  world  to  come.     Amen. 

I  most  steadfastly  admit  and  embrace  Apostolical  and  ecclesiastical  Traditions,  and 
all  other  observances  and  constitutions  of  the  Church. 

I  also  admit  the  Holy  Scripture,  according  to  that  sense  which  our  holy  Mother, 
•the  Church,  has  held,  and  does  hold,  to  which  it  belongs,  to  Judge  of  the  true  sense 

5 


66  AMERICAN'   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

and  interpretations  of  the  Scriptures :  neither  will  I  ever  take  and  interpret  them 
otherwise  than  according  to  the  unanimous  consent  of  the  Fathers. 

1  also  profess  that  there  are.  truly  and  properly,  Seven  Sacraments  of  the  New  Law, 
instituted  by  Jesus  Christ,  our  Lord,  and  necessary  for  the  salvation  of  mankind; 
though  not  all,  for  every  one:  to  wit,  Baptism,  Confirmation,  Eucharist,  Penance, 
Extreme  Unction,  Order,  and  Matrimony,  and  that  they  confer  grace :  and  that,  of 
these,  Baptism,  Confirmation,  and  Order  cannot  be  reiterated  without  sacrilege.  I 
also  receive  and  admit  the  received  and  approved  Ceremonies  of  the  Catholic  Church 
in  the  solemn  administration  of  all  the  aforesaid  Sacraments. 

I  embrace  and  receive  all  and  every  one  of  the  things,  which  have  been  defined  and 
declared  in  the  holy  Council  of  Trent,  concerning  Original  Sin  and  Justification 

I  profess,  likewise,  that  in  the  Mass  there  is  offered  to  God,  a  true,  proper,  and  pro- 
pitiatory sacrifice  for  the  living  and  the  dead.  And  that  in  the  most  Holy  Sacrament 
of  the  Eucharist,  there  is  truly,  really,  and  substantially,  the  Body  and  Blood,  together 
with  the  Soul  and  Divinity  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ :  and  that  there  is  made  a  conver- 
sion of  the  whole  substance  of  the  bread  into  the  body,  and  of  the  whole  substance 
of  wine  into  the  blood ;  which  conversion  the  Catholic  Church  calls  Transubstantia- 
ii.on.  I  also  confess  that,  under  either  kind  alone  Christ  is  received  whole  and  entire, 
and  a  true  sacrament. 

I  constantly  hold,  that  there  is  a  Purgatory,  and  that  the  souls  therein  detained, 
are  helped  by  the  suffrages  of  the  faithful. 

Likewise,  that  the  Saints  reigning  together  with  Christ,  are  to  be  honored  and 
iuvocated,  and  that  they  offer  prayers  to  God  for  us,  and  that  their  relics  are  to  be 
respected. 

I  most  firmly  assert,  that  the  Images  of  Christ,  of  the  Mother  of  God,  ever  Virgin, 
and  also  of  the  Saints,  ought  to  be  had  and  retained,  and  that  due  honor  and  venera- 
tion is  to  be  given  them. 

I  also  affirm,  that  the  power  of  Indulgences  was  left  by  Christ  in  the  Church,  and 
that  the  use  of  them  is  most  wholesome  to  Christian  people. 

I  acknowledge  the  Holy,  Catholic,  Apostolic  Roman  Church,  for  the  Mother  and 
Mistress  of  all  Churches ;  and  I  promise  true  obedience  to  the  Bishop  of  Rome,  suc- 
cessor to  St.  Peter,  Prince  of  the  Apostles,  and  Vicar  of  Jesus  Christ. 

I  likewise  undoubtedly  receive  and  profess  all  other  things  delivered,  defined,  and 
declared  by  the  Sacred  Canons,  and  General  Councils,  and  particularly  by  the  Holy 
Council  of  Trent. 

And  I  condemn,  reject,  and  anathematize  all  things  contrary  thereto,  and  all  here- 
sies whatsoever,  condemned,  rejected,  and  anathematized  by  the  Church. 

This  true  Catholic  faith,  without  which  no  one  can  be  saved,  I  N.  N.  do  at  this 
present  freely  profess  and  sincerely  hold,  and  I  promise  most  constantly  to  retain, 
and  confess  the  same  entire  and  unviolated,  with  God's  assistance,  to  the  end  of  my 
life.     Amen. 


CONGREGATION  ALISTS. 

This  branch  of  the  Christian  church  owes  its  origin  to  Robert  Browne,  of  Eng- 
Lui'i,  who  was  one  of  the  many  thinkers  brought  to  the  surface  by  the  attempt  of  the 
Established  Church,  in  1567,  to  suppress,  by  legal  force,  the  assemblies  of  the  Puri- 
tans. Browne  held,  as  to  church  polity,  that  ''each  church  or  society  of  Christians 
meeting  in  one  place,  was  a  body  corporate,  having  full  power  within  itself  to  admit 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  6? 

and  exclude  members ;  to  choose  and  ordain  officers ;  and  when  the  good  of  the 
society  required  it,  to  depose  them,  without  being  accountable  to  classes,  convoca- 
tions, synods,  councils,  or  any  jurisdiction  whatever."  He  denied  both  the  suprem- 
acy of  the  Queen  in  ecclesiastical  matters,  and  the  claim  of  the  Establishment  to  be  a 
scriptural  church,  and  declared  the  scriptures  to  be  the  only  guide  in  all  matters  of 
faith  and  discipline.  He  insisted  that  the  labors  of  a  pastor  were  to  be  confined  to  a 
single  church;  that  one  church  could  exercise  no  jurisdiction  over  another,  except  so 
far  as  to  advise  or  reprove  it,  or  to  withdraw  its  fellowship  from  such  as  walked  dis- 
orderly; that  five  orders  or  offices  were  recognized  in  the  church — pastor,  teacher, 
elder,  deacon,  and  widow :  but  that  the  priesthood  were  not  to  be  a  distinct  order 
from  the  laity."  These  opinions,  too  bold  for  the  time,  brought  down  upon  their 
author  all  the  indignation  of  the  Establishment,  and  the  malevolence  of  the  laity, 
who  hooted  him  in  the  streets,  followed  him  in  mobs,  and  visited  upon  him  every 
species  of  insult  and  provocation.  Still,  in  the  face  of  this,  he  succeeded  in  gathering 
a  church — the  first  founded  on  Congregational  principles.  His  and  its  enemies,  how- 
ever, were  too  numerous.  Slander,  villification,  ridicule,  mobs,  fines,  arrests,  im- 
prisonment, in  some  instances  the  scaffold — whatever  could  lower  the  man  and 
bring  him  into  public  contempt ;  whatever  could  intimidate  and  deter  the  little  band 
from  assembling,  and  discomfort  them  in  every  relation — was  unscrupulously  em- 
ployed, and  finally  with  success  :  the  church  broke  up,  Browne,  with  many  of  the 
congregation,  flying  to  Holland.  He  subsequently  returned,  but  it  was  only  to  meet 
anew  the  fires  of  persecution ;  mobs  pursued  him  in  the  streets,  assembled  with 
clubs  and  stones  and  hooting  instruments  before  his  lodgings,  and  posted  infamous 
placards,  concerning  him  and  his  proselytes,  on  the  walls ;  while  graver  zealots,  in 
the  pulpit,  on  the  bench,  and  with  the  pen,  exhausted  every  nerve  to  drive  him  back 
to  his  original  obscurity,  and  with  him  the  daring  doctrine  he  had  advanced.  Few 
had  the  courage  to  come  to  his  aid,  and  power  and  popular  ignorance  carried  the 
day.     He  was  crushed. 

But,  though  the  light  of  the  man  was  extinguished,  that  of  his  doctrine,  which  had 
sunk  deep  into  the  public  mind,  survived.  In  1602,  a  second  church,  founded  on 
Congregational  principles,  was  formed  in  the  north  of  England,  which  had  for  one  of 
its  pastors,  the  Rev.  John  Robinson,  a  man  of  a  strong  mind,  and  a  careful  reader 
of  the  scriptures.  This  church,  however,  like  its  predecessor,  had  also  to  bend  before 
the  storm  of  persecution.  With  the  prelacy  and  its  formidable  power  on  the  one 
hand,  and  the  equally  harrassing  Independents  on  the  other,  it  could  not  choose  but 
retire.  Mr.  Robinson  and  the  members  projected  a  plan  of  escape  to  Holland,  which 
was  frustrated  by  the  treachery  of  the  captain  of  the  vessel  they  had  engaged,  who, 
a  prelatist,  betrayed  them  to  the  Establishment,  and  they  were  thrown  into  prison. 
A  second  effort  was  more  successful  for  a  portion  of  the  company,  who  gained 
Amsterdam  in  safety.  In  the  spring  of  1608,  the  remainder,  with  their  pastor  and 
families  (among  whom  were  Mr.  Brewster,  Mr.  Bradford,  Mr.  Carver,  and  Mr. 
Winslow — names  dear  to  New  Englanders),  met  at  night,  on  a  lonely  heath  in 
Lincolnshire,  hoping  to  escape  under  cover  of  the  darkness.  A  ship,  they  had 
secretly  employed,  lay  in  the  offing,  her  tall  masts  looming  up  in  the  shadowy  gloom 
like  friendly  beacons.  At  the  appointed  hour,  a  boat  set  off  to  convey  the  little  band 
on  board.  Unhappily  the  wind  was  high  and  the  sea  rough,  rendering  this  a  work 
of  much  slowness  and  difficulty.  While  a  part  were  on  their  way  to  the  vessel,  a 
number  of  horsemen  appeared  on  the  heath,  in  pursuit.  They  had  been  again  be- 
trayed !  All  on  the  heath,  principally  women  and  children,  were  taken.  But  after 
they  had  endured  imprisonment  and  suffering,  they  were  again  set  free,  and  they 
eventually  joined  their  friends  in  Holland. 

Mr.  Robinson  and  his  congregation,  on  arriving  in  Holland,  first  joined  themselves 
to  the  church  at  Amsterdam ;  but  dissensions  breaking  out  in  that  body,  they  removed

to  Leyden.  where  they  remained  ten  years.  Though  many  of  them  were  men  of  for- 
tune and  family,  yet  so  indigent  were  they  at  this  period,  that  they  were  compelled 
to  learn  mechanical  trades,  in  order  to  support  their  families,  Mr.  Brewster  becom- 
ing a  printer,  Mr.  BRADFORD  a  silk  dyer,  etc.  In  the  interim,  the  church  largely  in- 
creased by  new  immigrations  from  England,  and  Mr.  Robinson  published  several 
controversial  works,  mostly  in  explanation,  or  defence,  of  his  views. 

The  principles  of  Mr.  Robinson  and  the  church  of  Leyden  are  thus  summed  up  by 
Belknap,  as  regards  church  government  and  the  sacraments.  In  doctnne,  they 
were  strictly  Calvinistic : 

1.  That  no  church  ought  to  consist  of  more  members  than  can  conveniently  meet 
together  for  worship  and  discipline. 

2.  That  any  church  of  Christ  is  to  consist  only  of  such  as  appear  to  believe  in,  and 
obey  him. 

3.  That  any  competent  number  of  such  have  a  right,  when  conscience  obliges  them, 
to  form  themselves  into  a  distinct  church. 

4.  That  this  incorporation  is  by  some  contract  or  covenant,  express  or  implied. 

5.  That,  being  thus  incorporated,  they  have  a  right  to  choose  their  own  officers. 

6.  That  these  officers  are  pastors  or  teaching  elders,  ruling  elders,  and  deacons. 

7.  That  elders  being  chosen,  and  ordained,  have  no  power  to  rule  the  church,  but 
by  consent  of  the  brethren. 

8.  That  all  elders,  and  all  churches,  are  equal  in  respect  of  powers  and  privileges. 

9.  With  respect  to  ordinances,  they  hold  that  baptism  is  to  be  administered  to  visi- 
ble believers  and  their  infant  children ;  but  they  admitted  only  the  children  of  com- 
municants to  baptism.  That  the  Lord's  Supper  is  to  be  received  sitting  at  the  table. 
(Whilst  they  were  in  Holland  they  received  it  every  Lord's  day.)  That  ecclesiasti- 
cal censures  were  wholly  spiritual,  and  not  to  be  accompanied  with  temporal 
penalties. 

10.  The}r  admitted  no  holy  days  but  the  Christian  Sabbath,  though  they  had  occa- 
sionally days  of  fasting  and  thanksgiving;  and,  finally,  they  renounced  all  right  of 
human  invention  or  imposition  in  religious  matters. 

In  1G17,  the  dissolute  manners  prevailing  in  Holland,  and  the  danger  to  the  young 
from  this  source,  induced  Mr.  Robinson  and  his  church  to  plan  a  removal  to  Ame- 
rica, and  Virginia  being  fixed  upon,  a  committee  was  sent  to  treat  with  the  Virginia 
Company.  But  the  latter,  though  desirous  that  they  should  settle  upon  their  terri- 
tory, could  not  guarantee  them  liberty  of  conscience.  A  connivance  was  promised 
them  by  the  archbishop,  but  an  open  toleration  was  refused.  At  length,  however, 
in  1619,  they  obtained  a  patent,  and  by  a  contract  with  certain  merchants  in  London, 
pecuniary  resources  for  the  undertaking.  The  vessels  not  being  sufficiently  large  to 
take  the  whole  congregation.  Mr.  Robinson,  and  such  as  cotdd  not  go,  remained  at 
Leyden,  while  Elder  Brewster  accompanied  the  emigrants.  The  unseaworthiness 
of  one  of  the  vessels  obliged  them  to  put  into  Plymouth,  whence  they  again  set  sail, 
but  had  once  more  to  return,  when,  leaving  behind  the  discouraged  and  disaffected, 
the  remainder,  in  all  a  hundred  souls,  in  a  single  ship,  for  the  last  time  set  forth  to 
find  a  home  in  the  wildern>  --. 

The  church  planted  by  these  exiles  at  Plymouth  was  the  first  organised  in  Newf 
England  With  their  privations  and  Bufferings,  their  cheerful  hope  and  rugged  fail  i 
in  God,  all  are  familiar. 

For  several  years  after  the  landing  of  the  Plymouth  exiles.  Elder  Brewster  per- 
formed all  the  duties  of  a  minister,  except  the  administration  of  the  sacraments,  but 
refused  to  be  ordained. 

In  1625,  Mr.  Robinson  died.  After  his  death,  the  church  at  Leyden  dissolved,  a 
part  going  to  Amsterdam,  and  a  part  afterwards  joining  their  friends  at  Plymouth. 

In  1630.  a  church  was  organised  at  Charlestown,  where,  on  the  30th  of  July,  the 


AMERICA*  CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  69 

governor,  deputy  governor,  and  the  minister,  Mr.  Wilson,  entered  into  a  church  cove- 
nant. Two  days  after,  five  others  joined  them,  and  subsequently  others.  At  length, 
they,  in  form,  elected  Mr.  Wilson  for  their  minister,  and  ordained  him.  Like  modes 
of  organization  followed  in  the  other  colonies,  and  separate  churches  formed  in  each, 
one  after  another.  It  does  not  appear,  however,  that  there  was  any  uniform  plan  of 
church  government  until  Mr.  Colton's  arrival  in  1633,  who  projected  some  general 
plans  embracing  all  the  churches,  which  thenceforth  took  the  name  of  Congregational. 

The  subsequent  history  of  the  churches  in  New  England  is  a  history  of  the  colo- 
nies, which  does  not  fall  within  our  province.  Without  designing  it,  and  indeed  with 
principles  in  full  developement  essentially  hostile  to  any  connexion  between  the 
State  and  the  church,  the  Pilgrims  so  blended  religious  and  political  institutions,  that 
religion  and  politics  both  grew  sickly  from  the  unnatural  union. 

In  1638,  the  Pilgrims,  feeling  the  need  of  men  for  the  ministry  to  take  the  place  of 
those  who  had  been  educated  in  England,  founded  Harvard  College.  Common 
schools  were  also  established  by  law. 

In  1637,  began  the  famous  ecclesiastical  controversy  respecting  Antinomianism, 
Mrs.  Hutchinson,  the  chief  promulgator  of  Antinomian  tenets,  maintaining,  according 
to  the  summary  of  her  opinions  in  Neal,  that  "  believers  in  Christ  are  personally 
united  with  the  spirit  of  God ;  that  commands  to  work  out  salvation  with  fear  and 
trembling  apply  only  to  such  as  are  under  the  covenant  of  works ;  that  sanctification 
is  not  sufficient  evidence  of  a  good  state ;  and  that  immediate  revelations  about  future 
events  are  to  be  believed  as  equally  infallible  with  the  Scriptures."  These  opinions, 
becoming  absorbing  topics  of  discussion,  divided  the  whole  colony  into  two  parties — 
those  who  were  for  a  covenant  of  works  and  those  for  a  covenant  of  grace.  The 
quarrel  raging  with  violence,  a  synod  was  called,  which  met  at  Newtown — the  first 
synod  convened  in  New  England.  The  Synod  unanimously  condemned  Mrs.  Hutch- 
inson's opinions. 

In  1648,  the  second  synod  was  held,  at  which  the  Confession  of  Faith,  known  as 
the  Cambridge  Platform,  was  adopted.  Previous  to  this  synod,  the  New  England 
churches  had  never  agreed  upon  any  regular  system  of  discipline. 

In  1680,  a  confession  of  faith,  adopted  by  the  English  Congregational  churches, 
was  approved  by  a  synod  convened  at  Boston,  and  is  to  this  day  considered  a  correct 
exposition  of  the  opinions  of  Congregationalists.  This  confession  of  faith,  with  a  few 
variations,  is  the  same  as  that  agreed  to  by  the  Westminster  Assembly. 

In  1750,  the  principles  of  the  Unitarians  had  been  extensively  adopted  by  Congre- 
gationalists. There  was  not,  however,  any  rupture  upon  this  ground  till  1785,  when 
several  churches  relinquished  their  confessions  of  faith,  and  subsequently  many  others 
followed  their  example.  By  this  separation,  Harvard  college  fell  under  the  control 
of  the  Unitarians,  who,  however,  still  retain  the  Congregational  form  of  Church 
government. 

The  connection  between  the  Congregational  system  of  church  polity  and  the  civil 
power,  was  severed  in  most  of  the  colonies  by  the  revolution. 

The  principles  of  the  modern  Congregationalists  differ  but  little  from  those  held  by 
John  Robinson*  and  the  church  at  Leyden.  Starting  with  the  definition  of  that  emi- 
nent divine,  that  "a  church  is  a  company  of  pious  persons,  who  voluntarily  unite 
together  for  the  worship  of  God,"  their  whole  system  may  logically  be  deduced. 

They  appeal  to  the  Scriptures  as  their  only  guide  in  all  matters  of  faith  and  polity. 
They  believe  that  the  Congregational  system  of  church  government  is  taught  in  the 
sacred  writings,  and  sanctioned  by  the  usage  of  the  Apostles  and  the  early  Christians. 

They  regard  creeds  and  confessions  of  faith  as  mere  compendiums  of  essential  doc- 
trines, to  which  every  one  is  expected  to  subscribe ;  convenient  guides  in  the  examin- 
ation of  candidates,  but  not  standards  of  religious  truths.     By  the  Bible  they  are  to

be  measured,  and  no  doctrine  that  cannot  be  found  in  it  is  to  be  received,  however 
endeared  to  us  by  its  associations,  or  venerable  by  its  antiquity. 

Their  Officers  are  two — pastor  and  deacon.  The  office  of  elder  went  into  disuse  at 
Plymouth,  in  1745. 

Each  church  is  independent  of  every  other,  and  manages  its  own  affairs. 

Every  State  has  one  or  more  associations  of  pastors,  to  which  is  generally  con- 
fided the  power  of  licensing  ministers. 

Councils  and  synods  are  merely  advisory  bodies,  composed  of  delegates  from  the 
various  churches  within  certain  local  limits.  They  are,  so  to  speak,  a  kind  of  con- 
gress, where  the  representatives  of  independent  churches  meet,  to  consult  with  one 
another  respecting  matters  of  general  interest.  But  they  become  parties  to  no  arti- 
cles of  union,  which  make  the  decisions  of  their  representatives,  thus  convened,  or 
binding  authority.  Each  church  is  free  to  accept  or  reject  its  decisions,  which  are 
mere  recommendations,  not  laws. 

These  councils  are  sometimes  mutual,  sometimes  ex  parte,  and  sometimes  standing 
or  permanent.  A  mutual  council,  as  the  term  denotes,  is  one  called  by  both  parties ; 
an  ex  parte  council,  one  which  either  party  may  call,  without  the  concurrence  of  the 
other.  These  councils  are  usually  composed  of  the  pastor,  and  a  lay  delegate  froni 
each  of  the  neighboring  churches;  the  disputing  parties  by  letters  missive,  designat- 
ing the  churches  whose  council  they  desire,  and  each  of  the  churches  thus  addressed 
electing  its  own  delegates. 

Standing,  or  permanent  councils  are  almost  entirely  confined  to  Connecticut.  By 
articles  of  discipline,  adopted  at  Saybrook  in  1708,  all  the  churches  in  that  State  are 
consociated  for  mutual  assistance  in  their  ecclesiastical  concerns.  The  pastor  and 
churches  of  a  county  usually  form  one  or  more  consociations ;  and  all  cases  which 
cannot  be  determined  without  the  aid  of  a  council,  are  brought  before  this  body. 

In  New  York,  many  churches,  originally  founded  by  Congregationalists,  and  after 
the  Congregational  model,  have,  from  a  desire  of  harmony,  adopted,  wholly,  or  in 
part,  the  Presbyterian  discipline.  In  1834,  those  churches  that  had  retained  the 
Congregational  discipline,  formed  a  general  association,  in  which  both  churches  and 
ministers  were  represented,  lay  delegates  representing  the  former. 

The  Cambridge  Platform  is  regarded  as  the  Congregational  system  of  church  polity 
in  this  country.  It  was  drawn  up  by  the  synod  which  met  at  Cambridge,  Massachu- 
setts, in  1648. 

Congregationalism  was  confined  almost  exclusively  to  the  New  England  States  till 
about  1800;  since  when  it  has  very  considerably  extended  into  the  Middle  and  Wes- 
tern States,  and  in  a  few  instances,  those  in  the  South-west.  It  is  scarcely  known  in 
the  Southern  States. 

The  literature  of  the  Congregationalists  is  extensive,  scholarly,  and  marked  in  the 
main  by  a  rugged  mental  strength,  quite  characteristic,  and  in  which  seems  still  to 
run  the  hardy  moral  vigor  of  the  clear-headed,  iron-willed  men  that,  twice  driven 
back  to  port  and  there  deserted  by  the  discouraged  and  faint-hearted,  put  forth  a.  third 
time  undismayed  and  calm  in  faith,  in  a  single  ship,  to  found  a  new  home  and  a  free 
nation,  in  a  wild,  inhospitable  land.  The  Congregational  Board  of  Publication  has  a 
respectable  list  of  stereotype  standard  works,  by  the  great  minds  of  the  denomination, 
among  which  may  be  mentioned  the  productions  of  John  Robinson,  Thomas  Siiep- 
ard,  Joseph  Bellamy,  Jonathan  Edwards,  Samuel  Hopkins,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  writings  of  equally  able  and  more  modern  pens.  In  periodical  literature,  the 
denomination  is  decidedly  first  among  the  foremost. 

The  denomination  is  a  decided  friend  to  education,  having  founded  several  colleges, 
theological  seminaries,  and  a  large  number  of  high  schools  and  academies, 

It  has  several  institutions  of  interest  and  importance,  viz.  :  1.  The  American  Edu- 
cation Society,  for  educating  young  men  for  the  ministry :  2.  The  Congregational

Library  Association,  whose  object  is  to  "found  and  perpetuate  a  library  of  books,  pam- 
phlets, and  manuscripts,  and  a  collection  of  portraits,  and  whatever  else  shall  serve 
to  illustrate  Puritan  history,and  promote  the  general  interests  of  Congregationalism;" 
3.  the  Congregational  Board  of  Publication,  whose  aim  is  to  publish  such  works  as 
are  needed  and  adapted  "to  promote  the  progress  and  well  working  of  the  Congre- 
gational Church  Polity" ;  4.  The  Massachusetts  Sabbath  School  Society,  which,  in 
addition  to  an  extensive  list  of  books  for  Sabbath  school  libraries,  publishes  a  well 
edited  weekly  journal  for  Sabbath  scholars:  5,  The  American  Congregational  Union, 
the  particular  object  of  which  is  "to  collect,  preserve,  and  publish  authentic  informa- 
tion concerning  the  history,  condition  and  continued  progress  of  Congregational 
Churches  in  all  parts  of  the  Country,  with  their  affiliated  institutions,  and  with  their 
relations  to  kindred  churches  and  institutions  to  other  countries," 

The  denomination  co-operates  with  the  American  Bible  Society,  Am,  Board  Com. 
Foreign  Missions,  Am.  Home  Missionary  Society,  Am.  Tract  Society,  Am.  Sunday 
School  Union,  Am.  and  For.  Chris.  Union  Society  for  the  promotion  of  Collegiate  and 
Theological  Education  at  the  West,  Am.  Missionary  Assoc,  Am.  and  For.  Anti- 
Slavery  Soc,  Am.  Colonization  Soc,  Am.  Temperance  Union,  Seaman's  Friend  Soc, 
and  Am.  Soc.  for  ameliorating  the  condition  of  the  Jews. 

As  already  said,  the  Congregationalists  were  divided  in  1785  by  Unitarianism, 
whose  principles  had,  for  thirty-five  years,  been  quietly  making  their  way  into  the 
Church.  Since  the  division,  the  Congregationalists  have  been  known  in  New  En- 
gland as  Congregational  Trinitarians,  and  the  seceding  division,  as  Congregational 
Unitarians ;  in  other  parts  of  the  United  States,  they  have  been  more  commonly 
called,  respectively,  Congregationalists  and  Unitarians. 

In  this  article  we  have  spoken  of  Trinitarian  Congregationalists,  in  doctrine  they 
are  Calvinistic. 


CONFESSION   OF   FAITH. 

Article  1.  We  believe  that  there  is  one  God — the  sole  Creator,  Preserver  and  mo- 
ral Governor  of  the  Universe  A  spiritual  Being  of  infinite  wisdom,  power,  justice, 
goodness  and  truth;  self-existent,  independent  and  unchangeable. 

Art.  2.  We  believe  that  the  scriptures  of  the  old  and  new  Testaments  were  given 
by  inspiration  of  God ;  that  they  contain  a  complete  and  harmonious  system  of  di- 
vine truth,  and  are  our  only  perfect  rule  of  doctrinal  belief  and  religious  practice. 

Art.  3.  We  believe  that  according  to  the  scriptures  the  divine  existence  is  such 
as  lays  a  foundation  for  a  three-fold  distinction  of  persons  in  the  Godhead — the 
Father,  the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Ghost ;  and  that  these  three  are  one  God — the  same 
in  essence,  and  in  all  the  divine  attributes  equal. 

Art.  4.  We  believe  that  the  one  supreme  God  has  made  all  things  for  himself; 
t  lat  known  unto  him  were  all  his  works  from  the  beginning ;  and  that  he  has  made 
ail  things  according  to  the  holy  and  unchanging  counsel  of  his  own  will ;  yet  in  such 
a  manner  as  that  man  is  a  free  agent,  and  accountable  for  all  his  actions. 

Art.  5.  We  believe  that  the  divine  law,  and  the  principles  of  divine  government 
are  perfectly  holy,  just  and  good. 

Art.  6.  We  believe  that  the  first  parents  of  the  human  race  were  created  holy, 
and  fell  from  their  original  state,  by  voluntarily  transgressing  the  divine  command  in 
the  article  of  forbidden  fruit. 

Art.  1,  We  believe  that,  in  consequence  of  their  apostacy,  all  their  posterity  arq

bom  with  hearts  depraved  and  at  enmity  with  God;  so  that,  if  left  to  themselves, 
they  will  invariably  commit  sin,  and  expose  themselves  to  his  wrath  for  ever. 

Art.  8.  "We  believe  that  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  is  the  only  Redeemer  of  sinners — 
that  he  took  our  nature  upon  him,  and  by  his  sufferings  and  death  made  a  sufficient 
atonement  for  the  sins  of  all  men,  so  that  God  can  now  be  just,  and  yet  the  justifier 
of  him  that  believeth  in  Jesus. 

Art.  9.  We  believe  that,  although  the  invitations  of  the  gospel  are  such  that  who- 
soever will  may  come  and  partake  of  the  waters  of  life  freely ;  yet  the  depravity  of 
the  human  heart  is  such,  that  no  man  will  come  to  Christ,  except  the  Father,  by  the 
special  and  efficacious  influences  of  his  spirit,  draw  him. 

Art.  10.  We  believe  that  those  who  embrace  the  gospel  were  chosen  in  Christ 
before  the  world  began ;  and  that  they  are  saved,  not  by  works  of  righteousness 
which  they  have  done,  but  according  to  the  distinguishing  mercy  of  God,  by  the 
washing  of  regeneration  and  renewing  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

Art.  11.  "We  believe  that  for  those  who  exercise  true  faith  in  Christ,  there  is  no 
condemnation,  and  that  they  are  kept  by  the  power  of  God,  through  faith  unto  sal- 
vation. 

Art.  12.  We  believe  that  there  will  be  a  resurrection  of  the  dead ;  that  all  man- 
kind must  one  day  stand  before  the  judgment  seat  of  Christ,  to  receive  sentence  of 
just  and  final  retribution,  according  to  their  respective  works;  and  that  from  the 
judgment  seat  the  wicked  shall  go  away  into  everlasting  punishment,  but  the  right' 
eous  into  life  eternal. 

Art.  14.  "We  believe  that  the  sacraments  of  the  New  Testament  are  Baptism  and 
Lord's  Supper ;  that  believers  of  regular  church  standing  only,  can  consistently  par- 
take  of  the  holy  supper ;  aad  that  visible  believers  be  admitted  to  the  ordinance  of 
baptism. 

(congregational)  unitarians. 

Unitarianism  in  the  United  States  dates  back  to  the  middle  of  the  last  century, 
when  Emlyn's  Inquiry  into  the  Scripture  Accouut  of  Jesus  Christ,  republished  iu 
Boston,  Mass.,  was  extensively  read.  In  1785,  the  society  worshipping  at  King's 
Chapel  (Episcopal)  adopted  an  amended  liturgy,  excluding  Trinitarian  sentiments. 
Eroin  that  time  to  1800,  Unitarian  views  slowly  but  steadily  spread  throughout  New 
England,  and  even  to  Northumberland  and  Philadelphia.  Controversy  on  the  sub- 
ject was  rarely  introduced  into  the  pulpit,  but  Unitarianism  was  silently  making 
progress.  The  appointment,  in  1805,  of  one  of  its  advocates  to  the  divinity  professor- 
ship at  Cambridge  created  much  uneasiness  among  Trinitarians. 

In  1812,  Mr.  Belsham.  in  his  Memoirs  of  Lindsey.  published  in  London,  introduced 
a  chapter  headed  "  Progress  and  Present  State  of  the  Unitarian  Churches  in  Ame- 
rica." This  was  republished  in  a  pamphlet,  in  Boston,  in  1815,  with  a  Preface  by 
the  American  editor,  the  object  of  the  republication  being  to  sound  the  alarm  against 
L'nitarianism  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic.  The  pamphlet  was  immediately  reviewed 
in  the  Panoplist,  a  Calvinistic  publication  of  the  time.  The  two  publications  caused 
great  excitement.  A  controversy  ensued.  Dr.  Channing  leading  the  way,  in  a  letter 
addressed  to  the  Rev.  S.  C.  Thatcher,  in  which  he  charged  the  Panoplist  with  at- 
tempting to  fasten  on  American  Unitarianism  all  the  odium  of  Mr.  Belsham's  pecu- 
liar views,  and  replied  to  what  he  conceived  to  be  other  misrepresentations  of  the 
reviewer,  particularly  to  the  accusation  of  hypocritical  concealment,  brought  against 
the  Unitarians.  Several  pamphlets  were  published  in  this  controversy  by  Dr. 
Channing,  Dr.  Samuel  Worcester,  of  Salem,  and  others. 

The  tendency  of  tins  controversy  was  to  draw  a  sharp,  distinct  line  between  the 
parties,  the  Panoplist  urging  upon  the  orthodox  the  necessity  of  separating,  "inwor.

ship  and  communion,  from  Unitarians."  Exchange  of  pulpits,  now,  in  a  great 
measure,  ceased.  Many  congregations  were  divided  in  opinion ;  a  separation  was 
viewed  as  a  great  evil,  but  it  appeared  inevitable: 

The  contro  /ersy  brought  up  the  rights  of  churches  and  parishes,  respectively,  in 
the  settlement  of  a  minister.  Before  the  excitement  on  this  subject  had  subsided, 
another  controversy  arose,  occasioned  by  a  sermon  by  Dr.  Channing,  at  the  ordina- 
tion of  Mr.  Sparks,  at  Baltimore. 

The  controversy  embraced  the  doctrine  of  the  Trinity,  and  the  doctrines  of  Cal- 
vinism generally,  all  of  which  were  subjected  to  a  very  thorough  discussion.  Pro- 
fessor S 'it art,  of  Andover,  appeared  in  defence  of  the  Trinity,  and  Mr.  Andrews 
Xortox  in  opposition,  in  an  article  in  the  Christian  Examiner,  subsequently  enlarged 
and  published  in  a  separate  volume,  under  the  title,  "A  Statement  of  Reasons  for  not 
believing  tho  Doctrine  of  Trinitarians,  concerning  the  Nature  of  God  and  the  Per- 
son of  Christ."  Dr.  Woods,  of  Andover,  defended  the  doctrines  of  Calvinism,  and 
Dr.  Ware,  of  Harvard  University,  replied.  Several  replications  and  rejoinders  fol- 
lowed. A  discussion  was  at  the  same  time  going  on  between  Mr.  Sparks,  of  Balti- 
more, and  Dr.  Miller,  of  Princeton. 

When  the  controversy  subsided,  the  Orthodox  and  Unitarian  Congregationalists 
were  found  to  constitute  two  distinct  bodies. 

Unitarian  churches  are  now  to  be  found  in  nearly  every  State  in  the  Union. 
Their  supply  of  ministers  is  mainly  furnished  by  the  divinity  college  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Cambridge. 

The  literature  of  this  denomination  is  extensive,  and  distinguished  for  its  high 
scholastic  tone,  its  moral  firmness,  its  stately  diction,  and  in  discussion,  its  scrupulous 
regard  for  those  amenities  which  guard  and  govern  the  well-bred,  permitting  them 
freely  to  discuss  principles,  without  entrenching  upon  the  respect  of  each  for  the 
other,  or  endangering  their  friendship. 

The  American  Unitarian  Association,  which  represents  the  main  body  of  churches 
in  the  denomination,  holds  an  annual  convention  for  the  discussion  of  such  topics  as 
are  of  general  interest.  It  furnishes  temporary  aid  to  small  and  distinct  societies,  does 
something  for  domestic  missions,  particularly  in  the  Western  States,  has  several  aux- 
iliaries in  various  parts  of  the  Union,  is  energetic  in  efforts  to  raise  np  a  numerous 
and  educated  ministry,  and,  through  its  Executive  Committee,  issues  tracts  monthly, 
of  which  a  considerable  number  of  volumes  have  already  been  published.  It  co-op- 
erates with  a  Book  and  Pamphlet  Society,  which  annually  distributes  a  large  number 
of  books  and  tracts. 

The  denomination  has  also  a  Charitable  Society,  for  the  relief  of  widows  and  chil- 
dren of  deceased  ministers,  partly  under  the  care  of  Trinitarians,  a  society  for  prop- 
agating the  Gospel  among  the  North  American  Indians ;  an  Evangelical  Missionary 
Society,  with  several  auxiliaries;  a  Children's  Missionary  Society;  a  Society  for 
Propagating  Theological  Education  ;  one  for  promoting  Christian  Knowledge,  Piety, 
and  Charity ;  and  a  Sunday  School  Society,  with  numerous  auxiliaries. 

UNITARIAN     DOCTRINE. 

1.  The  Bible. — They  regard  the  sacred  books  of  the  Bible  as  containing  words  of  a 
divine  revelation,  miraculously  made  to  the  world. .  They  receive  it  as  their  standard, 
their  rule  of  faith  and  life,  interpreting  it  as  they  think  consistently,  and  the  principles 
of  sound  and  approved  criticism  demand.  They  believe  it  is  addressed  to  men  as 
reasonable  beings  ;  that  reverence  for  its  records,  and  respect  for  the  natures  w*>;ch 
God  has  bestowed  on  us,  and  which  Christ  came  to  save,  make  it  our  duty  to  use  our 
understanding,  and  the  best  lights  which  are  afforded  us,  for  ascertaining  its  mearwg ; 
that  God  cannot  contradict  in  one  wav  what  he  records  in  another ;  that  his  -   >rd 


H  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

and  works  must  utter  a  consistent  language  ;  that,  if  the  Bible  be  Ins  gift,  it  cannot 
be  at  war  with  nature  and  human  reason ;  that  if  we  discard  reason  in  its  interpre- 
tation, there  is  no  absurdity  we  may  not  deduce  from  it ;  that  we  cannot  do  it  greater 
dishonor  than  to  admit  that  it  will  not  stand  the  scrutiny  of  reason ;  that  if  our 
faculties  are  not  worthy  of  trust,  if  they  are  so  distempered  by  the  fall  that  we  can 
no  longer  repose  any  confidence  in  their  veracity,  then  revelation  itself  cannot  benefit 
us,  for  we  have  no  reason  left  of  judging  of  its  evidences  or  import,  and  are  reduced, 
at  once,  to  a  state  of  utter  scepticism. 

2.  God. — They  believe  that  God  is  one  mind,  one  person,  one  undivided  being ; 
that  the  Father  alone  is  entitled  to  be  called  God,  in  the  highest  sense ;  that  he  alone 
possesses  the  attributes  of  infinite,  undivided  divinity,  and  is  the  only  proper  object 
of  supreme  worship  and  love;  that  he  yearns  with  a  father's  tenderness  and  pity 
towards  the  whole  offspring  of  Adam ;  that  he  earnestly  desires  their  repentance 
and  holiness ,  that  his  infinite,  overflowing  love  led  him,  miraculously,  to  raise  up 
and  send  Jesus  to  be  their  spiritual  deliverer,  to  purify  their  souls  from  sin,  to  re- 
store them  to  communion  with  himself,  and  fit  them  for  pardon  and  everlasting  life 
in  his  presence  ;  in  a  word,  to  reconcile  man  to  God  and  earth  to  heaven.  That  the 
gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  originated  in  the  exhaustless  and  unbought  love  of  the  Father ; 
that  it  is  intended  to  operate  on  man,  and  not  on  God ;  that  the  only  obstacle  which 
exists,  or  ever  has  existed  on  the  part  of  God,  to  the  forgiveness  of  the  sinner,  is 
found  in  the  breast  of  the  sinner  himself;  that  the  life,  teachings,  and  resurrection  of 
Jesus,  become  an  instrument  of  pardon,  as  they  are  the  appointed  means  of  turning 
man  from  sin  to  holiness,  of  breathing  into  his  soul  new  moral  and  spiritual  life,  and 
elevating  it  to  a  union  with  the  Father.  That  the  Cross  of  Christ  was  not  needed  to 
render  Christ  merciful ;  that  Jesus  suffered  not  as  a  victim  of  God's  wrath,  or  t  > 
satisfy  his  justice,  which  view  they  think  obscures  the  glory  of  the  divine  character, 
is  repugnant  to  God's  equity,  veils  his  loveliest  attributes,  and  is  injurious  to  a  spirit 
of  filial,  trusting  piety.  Thus  all,  in  their  view,  is  to  be  referred  primarily  tr  the 
boundless  and  unpurchased  love  of  the  Father,  whose  wisdom  chose  this  met  jod  of 
bringing  man  within  reach  of  his  pardoning  mercy,  by  redeeming  him  from  th  power 
of  sin,  and  establishing  in  his  heart  his  kingdom  of  righteousness  and  peace 

3.  Jesus  Christ — They  believe  Christ  to  be  a  distinct  being  from  Go^,  and  sub- 
ordinate to  him ;  that  he  possesses  only  derived  attributes ;  that  he  is  not  the  su- 
preme God  himself,  but  his  Son,  and  the  mediator  through  whom  he  has  chosen  to 
impart  the  richest  blessings  of  his  love  to  a  sinning  world.  They  be1  .eve  him  to  be 
one  with  God  in  affection,  will,  and  purpose ;  not  in  nature,  but  in  purpose,  affection 
and  act,  through  him  Christians  are  brought  near  to  the  Father,  an  A  their  hearts  are 
penetrated  with  divine  love.  By  union  with  him  as  the  true  /ine,  they  are  nur- 
tured in  the  spiritual  life.     In  his  teachings,  they  find  revelation  of  holy  truth. 

The  question  of  his  nature,  they  do  not  consider  as  import?  nt.  In  regard  to  his 
rank  of  Son,  and  the  time  at  which  his  existence  commencf  d,  they  differ.  Some 
hold  his  pre-existenoe,  others  that  his  existence  commencf  d  at  the  time  of  his  en- 
trance into  the  world.  At  the  same  time  all  entertain  exalt' ,d  views  of  his  character 
and  offices.  In  a  reverence  for  these,  they  yield  to  no  jlass  of  Christians.  The 
divinity  which  others  ascribe  to  his  person,  they  think  m*y,  with  more  propriety  be 
referred  to  these.  "We  believe  firmly,"  says  one  of  theiv  most  eminent  writers,  "in 
the  divinity  of  Christ's  mission  and  office ;  that  he  spol  e  with  divine  authority,  and 
was  a  bright  image  of  the  divine  perfections ;  that  God  dwelt  in  him,  manifested  him- 
self through  him,  taught  men  by  him,  and  communicated  to  him  his  Spirit  without 
measure ;  that  he  was  the  most  glorious  display,  expression,  and  representation  of 
God  to  mankind,  so  that,  through  seeing  and  knowing  him,  we  see  and  know  the 
invisible  Father;  so  that  when  Christ  came,  God  viiited  the  world  and  dwelt  with 
men  more  conspicuously  than  at  any  former  period.      In  Christ's  words,  we  hear 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  75 

God  speaking;  in  his  miracles,  we  behold  God  acting;  in.luM  character  and  life  wo 
see  an  unsullied  image  of  God's  purity  and  love.  We  beuffre,  then,  in  the  divinity 
of  Christ,  as  this  term  is  often  and  properly  used.'"' 

They  do  not  rely  exclusively  or  chiefly  on  w'tfal  they  conceive  to  be  the  incredi- 
bility of  the  doctrine  of  Christ  being  God.  Tiuiy  say,  they  take  the  Bible  in  their 
hands,  and  sitting  down  to  read  it,  as  plain,  Unlettered  Christians,  and  with  prayei 
for  divine  illumination,  they  find  that  the  general  tenor  of  its  language  either  dis- 
tinctly asserts,  or  necessarily  implies,  the  supremacy  of  the  Father,  and  teaches  the 
inferior  and  derived  nature  of  the  Son.  In  proof  of  this,  they  appeal  to  such  pas- 
sages as  the  following:  "This  is  life  eternal,  that  they  might  know  thee,  the  only 
true  God,  and  Jesus  Christ  whom  thou  hast  sent.''  (John  xvii,  3.)  "For  there  is 
one  God  and  one  Mediator  between  Sod  and  man,  the  man  Christ  Jesus."  (1  Tim. 
ii,  5.)  "My  Father  is  greater  than  I."  (John  xiv,  28.)  "My  doctrine  is  not  mine, 
but  his  that  sent  me."  (Ibid,  vii,  1G.)  "I  speak  not  of  myself."  (Ibid.  xiv.  10.) 
"I  can  of  my  own  self  do  nothing."  (Ibid,  v,  30.)  "The  Father  that  dwelleth  in 
me  he  doeth  the  works."  (Ibid,  xiv,  10.)  "  God  hath  made  that  same  Jesus,  whom 
ye  crucified,  both  Lord  and  Christ,"  (Acts  ii,  36.)  "Him  hath  God  exalted  with 
his  right  hand  to  be  a  Prince  and  a  Saviour."     (Ibid.  v.  31.) 

They  appeal  to  such  passages,  and  generally  to  all  those  in  which  Jesus  Christ  is 
called,  not  God  himself,  but  the  Son  of  God ;  in  which  he  is  spoken  of  as  sent,  and 
the  Father  as  sending,  appointing  him  a  kingdom,  "giving"  him  authority,  giv- 
ing him  to  be  head  over  all  things  to  the  Church.  Such  passages,  they  contend,, 
show  derived  power  and  authority.  Again,  when  the  Son  is  represented  as  praying 
to  the  Father,  and  the  Father  as  hearing  and  granting  his  prayer,  how,  ask  they,  cans 
the  plain  serious  reader,  resist  the  conviction,  that  he  who  prays  is  a  different  "being, 
from  him  to  whom  he  prays  ?     Does  a  being  pray  to  himself? 

They  urge  that  passages  like  those  above  referred  to,  occurring  promiscuously,  aroi 
fair  specimens  of  the  language  in  which  Jesus  is  spoken  of  in  the  New  Testament;; 
that  such  is  the  common  lauguage  of  the  Bible,  aud  that  it  is  wholly  irreconcilable- 
with  the  idea  that  Jesus  was  regarded  by  those  with  whom  he  lived  and  conversed^ 
as  the  infinite  and  supreme  God,  or  that  the  Bible  was  meant  to  teach  any  such  doc- 
trine. They  do  not  find,  they  say,  that  the  deportment  of  the  disciples  and  the 
multitudes  towards  Jesus,  the  questions  they  asked  him,  and  the  character  of  their 
intercourse  with  him,  indicated  any  such  belief  on  their  part,  or  any  supposition  that 
he  was  the  infinite  Jehovah.  We  meet,  say  they,  with  no  marks  of  that  surprise  and 
astonishment  which  they  must  have  expressed  on  being  first,  made  acquainted  with 
the  doctrine, — on  being  told  that  he  who  stood  before  them,  who  ate  and  drank  with 
them,  who  slept  and  waked,  who  was  capable  of  fatigue  and  sensible  to  pain,  was  in 
truth,  the  Infinite  and  Immutable  One,  the  Preserver  and  Governor  of  nature. 

They  contend  that  the  passages  generally  adduced  to  prove  the  supreme  deity  off 
Jesus  Christ,  fail  of  their  object;  that  without  violence  they  will  receive  a  different 
construction ;  that  such  construction  is  often  absolutely  required  by  the  language- 
iself,  or  the  connexion  in  which  it  stands;  that  most  of  those  passages,  if  carefully 
e  amined,  far  from  disproving,  clearly  show  the  distinct  nature  and  inferiority  of  the.- 
Sn. 

To  the  doctrine  of  three  persons  in  one  God,  they  object  again,  i$&  intrinsic  in- 
credibility. They  say,  that  they  cannot  receive  the  doctrine,  because  in  asserting 
that  there  are  three  persons  in  the  Divinity,  it  teaches,  according  to  any  conception 
they  can  form  of  the  subject,  that  there  are  three  beings,  three  minds,  three  conscious 
agents,  and  thus  it  makes  three  Gods,  and  to  assert  that  these  three  are  one,  is  a 
contradiction. 

So  too  with  regard  to  the  Saviour, — to  affirm  that  the  same  being  is  both  finite 
and  infinite,  man  and  God,  they  say  appears  to  them  to  be  a  contradiction  and  an 


16  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN*    RECORD. 

absurdity.  If  Jesus  Christ  possessed  two  natures,  two  wills,  two  minds,  a  finite  and 
an  infinite,  they  maintain  that  he  must  be  two  persons,  two  beings. 

They  do  not  reject  the  atonement  in  what  they  believe  to  be  the  scriptural  mean- 
ing of  the  term.  While  they  gratefully  acknowledge  the  mediation  of  Christ,  and 
believe  that  through  the  channel  of  his  gospel  are  conveyed  to  them  the  most  pre- 
cious blessings  of  a  Father's  mercy,  they  object  strongly  to  the  views  frequently  ex- 
pressed, of  the  connexion  of  the  death  of  Christ  with  the  forgiveness  of  sin.  They 
do  not  believe  that  the  sufferings  of  Christ  were  penal — designed  to  satisfy  a  princi- 
ple of  stern  justice ;  for  justice,  say  they,  does  not  inflict  suffering  on  the  innocent 
in  order  to  pardon  the  guilty ;  and  besides,  they  believe  that  God's  justice  is  in  perfect 
harmony  with  his  mercy;  that  to  separate  them,  even  in  thought,  is  greatly  to  dis- 
honor him.  They  believe  that  however  the  cross"  stands  connected  with  the  forgive- 
ness of  sin,  that  connexion,  as  before  said,  is  to  be  explained  by  the  effects  wrought 
on  man  and  not  on  God. 

They  believe  that  in  thus  teaching  they  do  not  rob  the  cross  of  its  power,  nor  take 
away  from  the  sinner  ground  of  hope.  To  the  objection  that  sin  requires  an  infinite 
atonement,  and  that  none  but  an  infinite  being  can  make  that  atonement,  they  reply 
by  saying,  that  they  find  in  their  Bibles  not  one  word  of  this  infinite  atonement,  and 
besides,  that  no  act  of  a  finite  being,  a  frail,  sinning  child  of  dust,  can  possess  a 
character  of  infinity,  or  merit  an  infinite  punishment  ;  that  it  is  an  abuse  of  language 
so  to  speak;  and  further,  that  if  an  infinite  sufferer  were  necessary  to  make  due 
atonement  for  sin,  no  such  atonement  could  ever  be  made,  for  infinite  cannot  suffer ; 
that  God  is  unchangeable,  and  it  is  both  absurd  and  impious  to  ascribe  suffering  to 
him ;  God  cannot  die ;  and  admitting  Jesus  to  have  been  God  as  well  as  man,  only 
his  human  nature  suffered ;  that  there  was  no  infinite  sufferer  in  the  case ;  that  thus 
the  theory  of  the  infinite  atonement  proves  a  fallacy,  and  the  whole  fabric  falls  to  the 
ground.  Still  is  not  the  sinner  left  without  hope,  because  he  leans  on  the  original 
and  unchanging  love  and  compassion  of  the  Father,  to  whom  as  the  prime  fountain 
we  trace  back  all  gospel  means  and  influences,  and  who  is  ever  ready  to  pardon 
those,  who  through  Christ  and  his  cross  are  brought  to  repentance  for  sin  and  holi- 
ness of  heart  and  life. 

Further,  the  Unitarians  reply,  that  whatever  mysterious  offices  the  cross  of  Christ 
may  be  supposed  to  possess,  beyond  its  natural  power  to  affect  the  heart,  it  must 
owe  that  efficacy  wholly  to  the  divine  appointment,  and  thus  the  nature  and  rank  of 
the  instrument  become  of  no  importance,  since  the  omnipotence  of  God  can  endow 
the  weakest  instrument  with  power  to  produce  anv  effect  he  designs  to  accomplish 
by  it. 

.'].  The  Holy  Spirit. — By  the  Holy  Spirit,  they  believe,  is  meant,  not  a  person,  but 
an  influence:  and  hence  it  is  spoken  of  aa  "poured  out,"  "given,"  and  we  read  of 
the  "anointing"'  with  the  Holy  Spirit,  phrases,  which,  they  contend,  preclude  the 
idea  of  a  person.  It  was  given  miraculously  to  the  first  disciples,  and  gently,  as  the 
gathering  dews  of  evening,  distils  upon  the  heart  of  the  followers  of  Jesus,  in  all 
ages,  helping  their  infirmity,  ministering  to  their  renewal,  and  ever  strengthening 
and  comfortiug  them.  It  is  given  in  answer  to  prayer,  as  Christ  said  :  "  If  ye,  then, 
being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your  children,  how  much  more  shall 
your  heavenly  Father  give  the  Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him.     (Luke  xi,  13.) 

4.  Salvation. — They  believe  that  salvation,  through  the  gospel,  is  offered  to  all, 
on  such  terms  as  ail,  by  God's  help,  which  he  will  never  withhold  from  any  who  ear- 
nestly strive  to  know  and  do  his  will,  and  lead  a  pure,  humble  and  benevolent  life, 
have  power  to  accept. 

They  reject  the  doctrine  of  native  total  depravity.  But  they  assert  that  man  is 
born  weak,  and  in  possession  of  appetites  and  propensities,  by  the  abuse  of  which  all 
become  actual  sinners :  and  they  believe  in  the  necessity  of  what  is  figuratively  ex- 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  77 

pressed  by  the  "new  birth,"  that  is,  the  becoming  spiritual  and  holy,  being  led  by 
that  spirit  of  truth  and  love  which  Jesus  came  to  introduce  into  the  souls  of  his  fol- 
lowers. This  change  is  significantly  called  the  coming  of  the  kingdom  in  the  heart, 
without  which,  as  they  teach,  the  pardon  of  sin,  were  it  possible,  would  confer  no 
happiness,  and  the  songs  of  paradise  would  fall  with  harsh  dissonance  on  the  ear. 

They  sometimes  speak  of  reverence  for  human  nature — of  reverence  for  the  soul. 
They  reverenco  it  as  God's  work,  formed  for  undying  growth  and  improvement. 
They  believe  that  it  possesses  powers  capable  of  receiving  the  highest  truths.  They 
believe  that  God,  in  various  ways,  makes  revelations  of  truth  and  duty  to  the  human 
soul ;  that  in  various  ways  he  quickens  it ;  kindles  in  it  holy  thoughts  and  aspira- 
tions, and  inspires  it  by  his  life-giving  presence.  They  believe  that  however  dark- 
ened and  degraded,  it  is  capable  of  being  regenerated,  renewed,  by  the  means  and 
influences  which  he  provides.  They  believe  that  it  is  not  so  darkened  by  the  fall 
but  that  some  good,  some  power,  some  capacity  of  spiritual  life,  is  left  in  it.  But 
they  acknowledge  that  it  has  need  of  help ;  that  it  has  need  to  be  breathed  upon  by 
the  divine  Spirit.  They  believe  that  there  is  nothing  in  their  peculiar  mode  of  view- 
ing Christianity  which  encourages  proscription ;  encourages  pride  and  self-exaltation. 
They  believe  that  the  heart  which  knows  itself  will  be  ever  humble.  They  believe 
that  they  must  perpetually  look  to  God  for  help.  They  teach  the  necessity  of  prayer, 
and  a  diligent  use  of  the  means  of  devout  culture;  they  do  not  thus  teach  reverence 
for  human  nature  in  any  such  sense,  they  think,  as  would  countenance  the  idea  that 
man  is  sufficient  to  save  himself  without  God:  they  pray  to  him  for  illumination, 
pray  that  he  will  more  and  more  communicate  of  himself  to  their  souls.  They  teach 
the  blighting  consequences  of  sin.  They  believe  that  in  the  universe  which  God 
has  formed,  this  is  the  only  essential  and  lasting  evil ;  and  that  to  rescue  the  human 
soul  from  its  power,  to  win  it  back  to  the  love  of  God,  of  truth  and  right,  and  to 
obedience,  to  a  principle  of  enlarged  benevolence  which  embraces  every  fellow-being 
as  a  brother,  is  the  noblest  work  which  religion  can  achieve,  and  worth  all  the  blood 
and  tears  which  were  poured  out  by  Jesus  in  his  days  of  humiliation. 

While  they  earnestly  inculcate  the  necessity  of  a  holy  heart  and  a  pure  and  bene- 
volent life,  they  deny  that  man  is  to  be  saved  by  his  own  merit,  or  works,  except  as 
a  condition  to  which  the  mercy  of  God  has  been  pleased  to  annex  the  gift  of  ever- 
lasting life  and  felicity.  They  believe  firmly  in  a  future  happiness  for  the  righteous 
and  in  a  punishment  for  the  wicked. 


REFORMED  PROTESTANT  DUTCH  CHURCH  IX  NORTH  AMERICA. 

This  is  the  oldest  denomination  in  the  United  States,  which  adopts  the  Presbyte- 
rian form  of  church  government.  It  is  a  branch  of  the  national  church  of  Holland, 
is  formed  exactly  on  the  model  of  the  latter,  in  every  point,  and  was  for  noarly  the 
first  century  of  its  existence  connected  with  the  classis  of  Amsterdam  and  the  Sy- 
nod of  North  Holland. 

Its  first  church  was  erected  in  New  York  near  the  lower  end  of  Stone  street ;  the 
second,  near  the  water's  edge,  in  what  is  now  called  the  Battery.  The  latter,  in 
process  of  time,  was  transferred  to  the  site  on  which  the  late  Garden  street  church 
stood.  The  church  erected  by  Governor  Stuyvesant,  on  his  farm,  or  as  it  is  styled 
in  the  Dutch,  his  Bowery,  was,  probably,  the  third. 

The  first  minister  in  New  York  was  the  Rev.  Everardus  Bogardus,  who,  after 
some  years,  became  blind,  and  set  out  to  return  to  Holland,  but  was  shipwrecked

and  drowned  on  the  way.  The  next  two,  as  nearly  as  can  be  ascertained  from  the 
imperfect  records  of  the  period,  were,  probably,  J.  and  S.  Megapolensis.  The  latter 
was  a  practising  physician,  as  well  as  a  minister. 

The  churches  in  New  Amsterdam  (New  York,)  Albany,  Flatbush,  New  Utrecht, 
Flatlands,  and  Esopus  (near  Kingston,)  were  organised  at  an  early  period  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  colony  of  New  Amsterdam ;  and  it  is  still  a  question  which  had  ministers 
first,  the  church  in  New  Amsterdam,  or  that  in  Albany. 

Till  the  capture  of  New  Amsterdam  by  the  British,  in  1664,  the  Dutch  Reformed 
Church  was  the  church  of  the  province,  and  still  acknowledged  its  allegiance  to  the 
classis  of  Amsterdam  and  the  Synod  of  North  Holland.  Affairs,  however,  now- 
gradually  underwent  a  change.  The  British  strove  to  shear  the  Dutch  church  of 
its  importance  and  to  make  it  play  a  secondary  part  in  ecclesiastical  matters.  They 
openly  declared  their  intention  of  establishing  the  .Episcopal  Church  in  the  British 
provinces,  placing  it  on  a  civil  establishment,  and  taxing  all  citizens  for  its  support. 
In  this  they  succeeded,  though  they  failed  to  interrupt  the  prosperity  and  position  of 
the  Dutch  church,  which  continued  to  be  distinguished  for  its  numbers,  its  piety  and 
its  wealth.  It  could  not  be  made  to  give  up  its  church  edifice  or  its  form  of  worship, 
as  at  the  surrender  of  the  province,  the  Dutch,  in  the  treaty,  had  been  careful  to 
■stipulate  that  the  rights  of  conscience  with  regard  to  worship  and  discipline,  should 
cot  be  interfered  with. 

During  this  period,  as  new  churches  sprung  up  in  the  vicinity  of  New  York,  Al- 
bany and  Esopus  (Kingston,)  the  ministers  of  these  old  and  powerful  establishments 
claimed  and  exercised  a  superintending  power  over  them.  The  young  churches 
murmured  at  this,  but  it  was  contended  that  the  discipline  of  the  church  required  it, 
in  order  to  prevent  itinerating  and  strange  ministers  from  putting  forth  unsound  doc- 
trines from  the  Dutch  Reformed  pulpit,  and  they  reluctantly  acquiesced. 

In  1737,  a  movement  was  made  to  shake  off  in  a  measure  the  vassalage  of  the 
church  in  New  York  to  the  classis  of  Amsterdam,  which  hitherto  had  controlled  it 
with  a  somewhat  rigorous  hand.  The  movement  merely  proposed  an  assembly,  to 
be  called  a  Coetus,  for  counsel,  free  internal  intercourse,  and  any  ecclesiastical  busi- 
ness not  inconsistent  with  the  dependence  of  the  church  on  that  of  Holland.  A  plan 
was  drawn  up,  and  submitted  to  the  churches  for  their  concurrence.  The  churches, 
in  convention,  adopted  the  plan,  and  it  was  forwarded  to  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam 
for  its  ratification.  The  Classis  took  ten  years  to  consider  it,  when,  unable  to  dis- 
cover that  the  proposed  Coetus  did  not  propose  to  abridge  one  particle  of  its  authority 
over  the  churches,  it  gave  it  its  approbation. 

The  Coetus,  however,  gave  no  satisfaction.  It  gave  the  pastors  no  powers ;  it 
could  not  ordain  ministers;  it  could  try  no  cases  calling  for  ecclessiastical  investiga- 
tion ;  it  could  not  even  settle  ecclesiastical  disputes,  without  the  usual  consent  of  the 
Classis  of  Amsterdam.  Only  an  independent  Classis  could  do  this,  and  an  inde- 
pendent Classis  was  by  many  proposed  and  resolved  upon. 

This  proposition  instantly  created  a  storm,  which  rushed  to  its  surface,  the  church 
divided  into  two  parties — the  Conference  and  the  Coetus.  The  one  furiously  oppos- 
ing the  proposition,  the  other  as  strenuously  advocating  it. 

"Whatl  "  cried  the  Conferenties,  '"shall  we  throw  off  the  care  and  paternal  super- 
vision of  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam  ?  Shall  we  venture  to  ordain  ministers  ?  Shall 
we  set  up  ourselves  as  judges  ?  Where  can  we  get  such  learned  ministers  as  those 
from  Holland  ?     And  can  any  of  us  judge  of  their  fitness,  and  learning,  and  piety?" 

On  the  contrary,  the  Coetus  party  appealed  to  their  brethren  on  the  necessity  of 
having  youth  trained  here  for  the  ministry.  "  We  must  have  academies  and  a  col- 
lege. The  English  language  is  advancing  on  us ;  we  must  have  a  ministry  to  preach 
in  English,  or  our  youth  will  abandon  us  in  a  body.  And  the  expense  of  sending 
for  ministers  is  becoming  oppressive ;  not  to  speak  of  the  great  expense  and  priva-

tion  sustained  by  us  who  are  parents,  in  sending  our  sons  to  Holland  to  be  educated, 
so  as  to  be  able  to  preach  in  Dutch.  And  you  all  know,"  they  added,  "  how  many 
years  have  sometimes  elapsed,  between  the  time  of  a  call  sent  to  fatherland,  and  the 
coming  of  a  pastor ;  and  sometimes  churches  have  been  disappointed  entirely.  None 
have  responded  to  their  call.  And  even,  in  certain  cases,  some  ministers  have  come 
out  who  were  not  only  unpopular,  but  absolutely  disagreeable.  Is  it  not  unendur- 
able that  the  churches  should  have  no  choice  of  their  pastor  ?  Men  accustomed  to  a 
national  church  and  its  high-handed  measures  have  come  among  us,  who  have,  of 
c  nurse,  views  and  habits  entirely  different  from  those  of  our  fellow-citizens  and 
Christians  in  Holland.  Need  we  remind  you  of  the  distractions  and  divisions  caused 
by  these  obstinate  men,  who,  instead  of  harmonizing  with  the  people,  and  winning 
their  confidence,  have  imprudently  opposed  them,  and  rendered  their  ministry 
odious  and  unsuccessful?  Besides,  is  it  not  humiliating  and  degrading  to  these 
churches,  and  to  us  all,  that  we  should  be  deprived  of  the  power  of  ordaining  minis- 
ters ?  And  we  must  send  abroad  for  ministers,  as  if  none  here  were  fit  to  minister 
in  holy  things  ?  It  is  an  imputation  on  our  sons ;  it  is  an  imputation  on  us,  in  the 
ministry  here ;  as  if  they  were  unfit  for  the  holy  work,  and  as  if  we  had  only  half  of 
the  ministerial  office !  We  declare  this  bondage  to  be  no  longer  tolerable,  and  it 
ought  no  longer  to  be  endured." 

"  Such,"  says  Dr.  Brownlee,  "was  the  bold  language  now  used  by  the  Coetus  party, 
both  ministers  and  laymen.  And  as  a  goodly  number  had,  by  the  permission  of  the 
Chassis  of  Amsterdam,  been  ordained  by  special  favor,  all  these,  to  a  man,  took  a  bold 
stand  against  this  dependence  on  Holland.  They  never  felt  that  attachment  to  the 
classis,  which  bound  down,  in  slavish  attachment,  those  whom  it  had  sent  out  hither. 
They  had  no  prejudices ;  they  saw  the  painful  grievances  under  which  their  fathers 
smarted ;  and  they  felt  the  power  of  the  arguments  and  appeals  so  urgently  pressed 
by  all,  to  seek  an  independent  ecclesiastical  jurisdiction  of  their  own.  They  spoke 
out  with  warmth  on  the  subject.  They  even  ventured  to  charge  the  church  of  their 
forefathers  with  injustice  to  the  ministry  here,  and  actual  tyranny  over  them.  They 
withheld  what  Christ,  never  authorized  them  to  withhold  from  the  true  ministry. 
They  demanded  of  her  to  do  them  and  herself  justice,  by  conveying  to  them  all  the 
powers  of  the  ministry,  which  she  had  received,  as  it  respected  doctrine,  and  sacra- 
ments, and  discipline. 

"All  these  appeals  made  a  most  powerful  impression  on  the  people.  Many 
churches  came  over  to  their  measures ;  and  even  a  few  of  the  European  ministers 
candidly  acceded.  And  they  no  longer  concealed  their  fixed  determination  to  com- 
mence a  system  of  measures  to  withdraw  these  American  churches  from  this  abject 
subordination  to  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam,  and  the  Synod  of  North  Holland. 

"  This  plan  was  matured  in  1754.  In  the  Coetus  of  the  preceding  year,  a  motion 
had  been  entertained  to  amend  the  plan  of  the  Ccetus,  by  converting  it  into  a  regular 
classis,  with  all  its  proper  powers.  A  plan  was  drafted  for  this  purpose ;  adopted 
with  great  unanimity  by  those  present ;  and  formally  transmitted  to  the  churches  for 
their  concurrence. 

. "  Upon  this  there  commenced  a  scene  of  animosity,  division,  and  actual  violence, 
compared  to  which,  all  the  other  wranglings  were  utterly  nothing.  It  was  the  be- 
ginning of  a  war  waged  for  fifteen  years  with  unmitigated  fury !  The  Conferentie 
party  met  and  organized  themselves  into  a  firm  body  of  opposition  in  1755.  The 
Ccetus  party  embraced  all  the  rest,  whose  names  are  given  in  a  preceding  note,  with 
the  exception  of  the  above  names.  These  formed  two  hostile  bodies,  resolutely  pitted 
against  each  other,  and  apparently  resolved  never  to  yield.  The  peace  of  neighbour- 
hoods was  disturbed ;  families  were  divided ;  churches  torn  by  factions.  Houses  of 
worship  were  locked  up  by  one  faction  against  the  other.  Tumults  and  disgraceful 
scenes  frequently  occm-red  on  the  holy  Sabbath,  and  at  the  doors  of  churches.     Mm-

isters  were  occasionally  assaulted  in  the  very  pulpit ;  and  sometimes  the  solemn  wof- 
ship  of  God  was  disturbed,  and  actually  terminated  by  mob-violence.  On  both  sides, 
a  furious  zeal  prompted  many  to  shameful  excesses,  and  a  most  painful  disgrace  of 
the  Christian  name. 

"The  more  modern  and  prudent  deplored  these  evils  and  growing  mischiefs,  but 
they  could  rind  no  remedy.  No  individual,  no  body  of  Christian  men,  was  found  to 
act  as  mediator.  The  two  parties  would  listen  to  no  overtures.  Humble  Christians 
wept  over  the  revolting  scenes,  and  the  impending  ruin  of  their  church ;  hope  de- 
serted their  fainting  hearts;  and  many  of  them  retired  from  such  unhallowed  scenes, 
to  the  bosom  of  a  peaceful  and  Christian  communion  in  other  churches. 

"  The  Conferentie  party  called  in  the  aid  of  the  Holland  Church.  They  addressed 
a  letter  to  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam  in  1755;  a  second  one  in  1756;  a  third  in  1760  ; 
a  fourth  in  1761.  In  these  they  uttered  their  inflammatory  complaints,  that  the 
American  churches  were  attempting  to  throw  off  their  snbmission  to  their  lawful 
authority,  and  to  form  an  independent  body,  with  powers  equal  to  those  of  the 
mother  church  I  And  in  reply  to  these,  too  many  of  the  ministers  of  that  church  lent 
their  aid  to  foment  fresh  troubles,  and  defeat  the  efforts  of  the  church  to  become 
iudependent  of  them. 

"  "When  this  violent  schism  took  place,  the  two  parties  of  Ccetus  and  Conferentie 
were  nearly  equal  in  point  of  numbers.  But  there  was  a  marked  difference  in  their 
character,  and  the  spirit  of  their  preaching.  The  Conferentie  pastors  were  men  of 
greater  learning,  but  they  were  cold,  and  heavy,  and  spiritless.  Their  discourses 
had  more  of  the  air  of  a  professor's  lecture  from  the  chair,  than  of  a  popular  and 
heart-stirring  address  to  a  mixed  audience.  The  Coetus  party  were  zealous,  ardent, 
practical  in  their  popular  addresses,  and  indefatigable  in  their  pastoral  duties.  Hence 
they  soon  had  the  mass  of  the  pious  people  with  them,  who  applauded  and  sustained 
them  in  their  trials  and  labors  of  love,  while  the  unsound  and  heartless  vehemently 
opposed  them. 

"  During  this  period,  another  painful  source  of  difficulties  occurred,  which  caused 
to  the  church  the  loss  of  many  most  valuable  families — the  introduction  of  preaching 
in  English  in  the  churches.  The  English  had  been  for  a  century,  the  language  of  the 
government,  its  officers,  and  influential  men.  It  was  evident  to  the  great  mass  of 
the  Dutch  youth,  that  it  must,  in  the  issue,  be  the  language  of  the  country.  Causes 
were  tried  in  English — all  the  pleadings  were  in  English.  The  youth  mingled  with 
increasing  multitudes  of  youth,  who  spoke  nothing  but  English ;  and  the  best  educa- 
tion in  the  city,  and  in  the  neighbouring  colleges,  was  all  conducted  in  English. 
Hence  the  youth  of  both  sexes  labored  to  be  master  of  English.  In  the  progress  of 
years,  the  great  body  of  youth  could  not  understand  a  sermon  in  Dutch.  They  de- 
manded English  preaching.  All  the  more  prudent,  and  all  who,  by.  a  wise  forecast, 
saw  the  utter  desertion  of  the  Dutch  churches  by  the  youth,  in  the  course  of  another 
generation  at  least,  unless  English  preaching  were  introduced,  united  their  efforts 
with  the  youth,  and  urged  the  necessity  of  having  English  preaching  forthwith,  as 
well  as  Dutch  preachiug.     This  was  long  and  keenly  resisted. 

But  the  venerable  consistory  of  the  church  of  New  York  were  constrained  at  lasj; 
to  yield.  For  they  loved  their  church,  they  loved  their  dear  children  ;  and  they  saw- 
many  of  them  already  gone  to  other  denominations,  where  they  could  understand  the 
speakers. 

"  The  members  of  the  Coetus  party  had,  in  view  of  forming  an  independent  eccle- 
siastical constitution,  for  some  time  turned  their  earnest  attention  to  the  establish- 
ment of  a  seminary,  for  the  education  of  the  future  ministry  at  home.  And  they  had 
communicated  this  intention  to  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam.  Dr.  Livingston,  being  at 
that  time  in  Holland,  pursuing  his  studies,  had  entered  zealously  into  the  plan  of  pro- 
moting this  double  project.     He  had  gained  the  approbation  of  many  of  the  principal 


AitERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  81 

ministers  in  Holland,  to  the  purpose  of  forming  an  ecclesiastical  constitution  in  Ame- 
rica, similar  to  that  of  fatherland.  This  consent,  it  seems,  was  sought  and  gained,  in 
order,  if  possible,  to  induce  the  brethren  of  the  Conference  to  unite  with  them  in  the 
enterprise ;  for  they  would  do  nothing  without  that  consent.  And  this  consent  of 
the  enlightened  ministers  of  Holland  prescribed  an  express  condition,  which  was  pre- 
cisely what  the  brethren  of  the  Ccetus  wished  for,  and  anticipated.  It  was  expressly 
required  that  the  American  church  should  proceed  to  make  an  immediate  and  ade- 
quate provision  for  a  theological  professorate.  For  they  assured  the  American 
brethren  that  they  could  not  maintain  any  relation  with  a  church,  who  neglected  to 
secure  a  thorough  education  for  the  youth,  seeking  the  holy  ministry.  Yet  even  this 
did  not  conciliate  the  Conferentie.  .  They  utterly  opposed  every  plan  which  would  cut 
off  their  dependence  on  Holland,  or  would  go  to  introduce  any  ministers  but  those 
educated  in  fatherland,  in  Dutch ! 

"  Several  schemes  were  proposed.  One  was,  that  a  local  union  should  be  formed 
on  the  part  of  the  Ccetus  with  the  flourishing  college  of  Princeton.  This  seemed  to 
be  the  first  and  favorite  scheme  of  Dr.  Livingston,  while  he  was  in  Holland,  in  con- 
sequence of  a  consultation  he  had  with  the  venerable  Dr.  Witherspoon,  at  that  time 
on  a  visit  to  Holland,  previously  to  his  coming  to  Princeton.  This  was  opposed  by 
the  Ccetus,  and  also  by  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam.  Another  plan  was,  to  have  a  theo- 
logical professorship  in  King's  college,  now  Columbia  college,  in  New  York.  This 
was  objected  to  by  both  parties.  The  Ccetus,  speaking  the  sentiment  of  the  great 
body  of  the  people,  said,  "  No,  we  shall  be  independent  of  Holland,  and  of  every  other 
body  here.  We  must  have  a  college  and  a  theological  school  of  our  own."  And 
with  a  noble  and  pious  resolution,  they  gained  their  grand  object.  A  college  was 
founded  called  'Queen's  College,'  after  the  queen  of  King  George  III.,  a  High-Dutch 
princess,  who,  it  was  understood,  would  kindly  patronize  it.  The  charter  of  this  col- 
lege was  dated  in  1710 ;  and  it  was  '  instituted  for  the  education  of  the  youth  in  the 
learned  languages,  the  liberal  and  useful  arts  and  sciences,  and  especially  in  divinity.' 

"  This  noble  step  in  the  advancement  of  the  church,  which  ought  to  have  been 
hailed  by  every  friend  of  the  Dutch  church,  was  the  signal  for  a  fresh  outburst  of  the 
war  of  opposition  on  the  part  of  the  brethren  of  the  Conferentie ;  and  to  such  an  ex- 
tent was  this  unnatural  war  carried  on  in  the  bosom  of  the  church,  that  it  began  to 
excite  alarm  for  the  very  existence  of  the  Dutch  Church." 

At  length,  a  better  day  arrived.  Dr.  Livingston,  whose  correspondents  in  New- 
York  had  kept  him  advised  of  the  state  of  affairs,  lost  no  opportunity  of  engaging 
the  whole  influence  of  his  friends  in  Holland,  to  put  an  end  to  these  most  unnatural 
and  painful  scenes.  He  was  convinced  that  the  brethren  of  the  Conferentie  would 
yield  readily  to  what  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam  would  enjoin  on  them.  Hence  his 
first  object  was  to  induce  the  North  Synod  to  appoint  that  classis  the  standing  com- 
mittee, with  full  powers  to  transact  the  affairs  of  the  American  church.  He  waited 
on  that  synod  at  its  meeting  at  Edam,  in  1169,  and,  through  the  influence  of  pro- 
minent members,  he  gained  his  point  without  any  opposition. 

''Having  thus  got  the  whole  power  into  the  hands  of  that  classis,  his  next  object 
was  to  prevail  with  the  classis  to  accede  to  the  plan  proposed  by  the  Ccetus.  He 
placed  before  them  the  arguments  employed  for  years  by  those  brethren  here,  and 
urged  on  them  the  necessity  of  giving  the  church  here  the  power  to  ordain  as  well 
as  educate  her  own  ministry.  He  succeeded  completely.  For  such  were  the  candor, 
the  piety,  and  the  liberal  views  of  the  Holland  ministers,  when  the  whole  matters  in 
controversy  were  fairly  and  fully  set  before  them,  that  they  no  longer  resisted  the 
most  righteous  claims.  A  liberal  plan  was  arranged :  general  principles  were  ad- 
opted to  remove  the  existing  difficulties ;  to  conciliate  the  contending  parties ;  to 
take  measures  to  provide  a  well-educated  ministry ;  and  secure  the  necessary  and 
unshackled  right  to  license  and  ordain  their  own  ministers.

Having  finished  his  studies,  and  taken  the  degree  of  Doctor  in  Divinity  after  a 
rigid  examination,  Dr.  Livingston  returned  home  in  1770,  and  accepted  the  call  pre- 
sented to  him  from  the  Collegiate  Church.  He  lost  no  time  in  gradually  winning 
over  influential  and  good  men  to  the  plan  of  conciliation,  which  he  had  brought  with 
him.  In  1771  he  induced  the  consistory  of  his  church  to  call  a  convention  The 
fraternal  call  was  promptly  responded  to,  and  in  October,  1771,  the  convention  met 
in  New  York.  It  was  a  full  meeting,  and  it  displayed  a  kind  temper  and  evangelical 
spirit.  Ministers  and  elders  there  met  in  cordiality,  who  had  not  met  nor  spoken  to 
each  other  for  years  1 

"The  first  business  was  to  appoint  a  large  committee  of  the  most  distinguished  per- 
sons to  mature  a  plan  of  union  and  church  government.  The  committee  was  a  mo3t 
judicious  one  ;  it  consisted  of  six  ministers  and  as  many  elders. 

"As  soon  as  this  committee  met,  Dr.  Livingston  laid  before  them  the  plan  which  he 
had  brought  with  him  from  Holland,  and  which  he  had  hitherto  shown  to  no  one 
The  scheme  embraced  three  important  objects;  First,  the  internal  arrangements 
church  government,  and  all  the  usual  powers  of  classis.  Second,  the  measures  best 
calculated  to  heal  all  animosities  and  divisions.  Third,  the  conducting  of  a  corres- 
pondence with  the  parent  church  of  Holland.  It  met  with  the  kindest  reception  in 
the  committee.  After  a  few  additions  and  amendments  were  proposed,  it  was  adopt- 
ed, and  brought  forward  to  the  convention.  Here  it  was  again  fully  discussed  with 
the  best  feelings.  The  members  on  each  side  seemed  to  vie  with  the  other  in  ap- 
plauding it ;  and  finally  it  was  adopted  without  one  dissenting  vote  !  It  now  only 
needed  the  final  approbation  of  the  Classis  of  Amsterdam.  Accordingly,  it  was 
transmitted  to  them.  And  the  convention  adjourned,  to  m6et  in  October,  1772,  to 
receive  their  final  answer.  That  answer  came,  conveying  to  their  dear  American 
brethren  the  fullest  and  most  perfect  approbation  of  the  union,  and  all  the  measures 
adopted,  and  concluded  with  their  fervent  prayers  for  the  prosperity  of  the  American 
church.  The  convention  heard  the  letter  with  emotions  of  joy  and  gratitude,  and  it 
was  with  the  greatest  cordiality  signed  by  every  member  of  the  meeting,  while  they 
praised  G-od  for  the  happy  consummation  ! 

The  establishment  of  a  college  now  occupied  the  earnest  attention  of  the  united 
and  peaceful  church,  and  particularly  to  secure  a  theological  professor.  But  from 
the  date  of  their  charter  to  the  close  of  the  war  of  the  revolution,  little  was  done  for 
the  furtherance  of  an  object  so  dear  to  the  church.  This  was  on  account  of  the 
poverty  of  the  country,  and  deplorable  calamities  of  the  war.  Besides,  many  were 
inclined  to  keep  the  theological  professorate  distinct  from  the  college:  And  others 
being  afraid  to  stir  up  old  animosities,  as  the  college  was  the  child  of  the  Ccetus 
party,  and  always  opposed  by  the  other  party,  sustained  them  in  this  timorous 
policy.  Hence  the  convention  in  1774,  in  urging  on  the  measure  for  the  professorate, 
kept  the  new  college  out  of  view.  In  like  manner  the  convention,  as  such,  that  met 
ml  784,  took  no  decided  steps  to  organize  the  college.  But  letters  having  been  re- 
ceived from  Holland,  in  reply  to  their  petition  for  a  suitable  professor,  with  strong 
recommendations  from  the  classis,  and  from  the  faculty  of  Utrecht,  in  favor  of  Dr. 
Livingston,  he  was  unanimously  elected  to  the  professorate,  and  entered  immediately 
on  the  duties  thereof. 

"In  this  distinguished  convention,  considerable  progress  was  made  in  ecclesiastical 
organization,  At  the  adoption  of  the  articles  of  union  in  1771,  the  convention  of 
which  Dr.  Livingston  was  president,  had  before  them  the  entire  model  of  the  govern- 
ment of  the  Church  of  Holland.  Yet  for  some  particular  reasons,  they  simply  de- 
nominated their  conventions  "  the  particular  and  the  general  assembly."  But  the 
convention  of  1784,  resolved  to  distinguish  these  assemblies  by  the  names  usually 
given  to  such  judicatories.  At  first  "the  particular  assembly"  was  called  "a  classis," 
and  "the  general  assembly,"  a  "particular  synod."

"At  the  commencement  of  the  war  of  the  revolution,  there  were  about  eighty  chur- 
ches in  New  York  state :  these  were  divided  into  three  particular  assemblies,  or 
classes ;  in  New  Jersey  there  were  forty  churches :  these  were  formed  into  two 
classes.  These  met  twice  in  the  year.  The  particular  synod  was  a  delegated  body, 
consisting  of  two  pastors  and  two  elders,  from  each  classis,  and  met  once  a  year. 
And  it  was  now  also  for  the  first  time  resolved  to  have  a  third  assembly,  to  be  called 
"the  general  synod."  This  court  was  held  in  1792.  It  consisted,  at  first,  of  all  the 
ministers  of  the  church,  with  an  elder  from  each  congregation,  and  it  met  each  third 
year.  Some  years  afterwards,  when  the  churches  had  multiplied  greatly,  it  was 
made  a  delegated  body,  each  classis  nominating  three  bishops  and  three  elders  as 
their  representatives ;  the  nomination  to  be  confirmed  by  each  of  two  particular 
synods  to  which  the  classes  belonged.     And  this  court  met,  and  still  meets  annually. 

"In  1784,  the  trustees,  with  a  laudable  zeal,  made  an  attempt  to  resuscitate  the 
college,  called  Queen's  College,  at  New  Brunswick.  It  went  into  operation  under 
the  superintendence  of  the  venerable  Dr.  Hardenberg,  its  first  president,  who  was  as 
eminent  a  ripe  scholar  as  a  profound  theologian.  But  for  want  of  funds,  caused  by 
the  general  distress  pervading  this  young  nation,  just  come  out  of  the  war  of  the  re- 
volution ;  and  also  for  want  of  an  adequate  faculty  to  co-operate  with  its  distinguished 
president,  and  its  able  professor  of  the  languages,  Dr.  Taylor  ;  it  gradually  declined, 
and  had  at  last  to  be  suspended  for  a  season. 

"In  1807,  the  efforts  of  these  devoted  and  persevering  friends  of  literature  were 
more  successful.  The  old  building  was  unsightly  and  inconvenient,  and  they  pro- 
ceeded, with  great  industry  and  perseverance,  to  collect  funds  for  a  suitable  struc- 
ture. In  1809  they  laid  the  foundation  of  the  present  beautiful  edifice,  on  a  com- 
manding eminence,  overlooking  the  city  of  New  Brunswick. 

"  One  thing  was  yet  necessary  to  the  success  of  the  college,  and  that  was  attained 
in  1807.  The  trustees  entered  into  a  covenant  with  the  general  synod  of  the  Dutch 
Church ;  uniting  their  mutual  interests  and  funds,  giving  the  college  the  whole  influ- 
ence and  patronage  of  the  church,  and  placing  the  theological  professorate  in  con- 
nection with  the  college  ;  but  yet,  in  such  a  manner,  that  the  college  is  not  made  by 
any  means,  a  sectarian  institution.  In  conformity  with  this  covenant,  Dr.  LrvrNG- 
bton,  the  synod's  theological  professor,  was  elected  professor  in  the  college,  and  offi- 
ciated as  the  active  President ;  the  Governor  of  the  State  being  then  ex  officio,  the 
nominal  President.  But  in  1816,  a  suspension  of  the  college  exercises  was  caused 
by  the  exhaustion  of  its  literary  funds.  This  suspension  continued  unto  1825.  Then 
was  it  revived  with  great  spirit,  and  with  a  faculty.  And  it  continues  in  successful 
operation  to  this  day.  Since  its  late  organization,  the  college  at  New  Brunswick, 
hitherto  known  as  Queen's  College,  has  been  named  Rutger's  College,  after  the  name 
of  its  munificent  patron,  Col.  Rutgers,  who  was  a  gallant  revolutionary  officer,  and 
an  eminent  man  of  God,  in  the  church." 

The  Form  of  Government  of  the  denomination  is  much  like  that  of  the  Presbyte- 
rians. The  primary  court  is  called  the  Consistory  (styled  in  the  Presbyterian  church 
a  session),  and  has  three  offices — ministers  (or  bishops),  elders,  and  deacons.  Pastors 
and  elders  meet  as  a  spiritual  court  to  examine  and  receive  members,  exercise  disci- 
pline, &c.  Deacons  meet  statedly,  to  make  provision  for  the  poor  and  distributions. 
The  consistory,  composed  of  the  pastor,  elders,  and  deacons,  meets  for  the  transac- 
tion of  all  temporal  business  relating  to  their  own  church.  On  important  occasions, 
such  as  that  of  calling  a  minister,  the  grand  consistory  is  called.  This  is  composed 
of  those  who  have  been  at  any  time  elders  and  deacons  in  the  church. 

The  next  court  is  the  Classis,  corresponding  to  the  "presbytery  "  in  the  Presbyte- 
rian, and  the  "  association  "  in  the  Baptist  church.  This  is  composed  of  a  minister 
and  an  elder  from  each  distinct  church  under  the  care  of  the  classis. 

The  next  court  is  the  Particular  Synod.    Of  these  there  are  two — the  Synod  of 


84  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

New  York,  and  the  Synod  of  Albany,  or  the  Southern  and  Northern  Synods.  The 
Particular  Synod  consists  of  two  ministers  and  two  elders  from  each  classis  within 
its  bounds. 

The  highest  court,  from  which  there  is  no  appeal,  is  the  General  Synod.  It  is  com- 
posed of  three  ministers  and  three  elders  from  each  classis  throughout  the  entire 
church.     It  meets  annually. 

Elders  are  chosen  to  serve  for  two  years.  If  found  faithful,  they  are  again  eligible 
after  having  been  out  of  office  one  year. 

Form  of  Worship. — 1.  The  reading  of  the  Ten  Commandments ;  2.  A  hymn ;  3. 
Prayer ;  4.  A  hymn ;  5.  Sermon ;  6.  A  prayer ;  7.  Collection  for  the  poor ;  8.  A 
hymn  ;  9.  Benediction. 

Societies. — The  denomination  has,  under  the  control  of  the  General  Synod — 1.  A 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions;  2.  A  Board  of  Domestic  Missions  ;  3.  A  Sabbath  School 
Union ;  4.  An  Education  Society ;  5.  A  College  and  Theological  Seminary  at  New 
Brunswick. 

The  Christian  Intelligencer,  the  organ  of  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church,  is  a  large 
and  noble  sheet,  edited  with  unusual  ability,  and  has  among  its  regular  contributors, 
the  ablest  pens,  not  only  of  the  denomination  but  of  the  United  States. 

The  General  Synod  publishes  a  monthly  Sabbath  School  paper,  and  a  Confession 
of  Faith,  with  which  is  "bound  the  psalms  and  hymns,  the  discipline,  and  various 
formulas  of  prayers. 

It  is  a  rule  of  the  church  that  each  pastor  shall  lecture  on  a  section  of  the  Heidel- 
berg Catechism,  in  the  afternoon  of  the  Sabbath,  so  as  to  go  through  the  whole  in  a 
definite  time.  The  design  is  to  secure  doctrinal  preaching,  in  a  regular  course,  from 
year  to  year, 

The  Doctrine6  of  the  Dutch  Reformed  church  are  the  same,  precisely,  as  those  ex- 
pressed in  the  Thirty-nine  Articles  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  with  some 
few  exceptions ;  such,  for  instance,  as  that  in  relation  to  church  government,  which 
^s  characterised  by  diocesan  bishops.  The  denomination  receives  as  its  creed  the 
Confession  of  Faith,  as  revised  in  the  National  Synod  of  the  Council  of  Dort,  in  1618 
and  1619  ;  with  the  Heidelberg  Catechism ;  the  compend  of  the  Christian  religion ;  the 
canons  of  the  Council  of  Dort  on  the  famous  Five  Points,  viz:  1.  Predestination; 
2.  Definite  Atonement  of  Christ;  3  and  4.  Man's  Entire  Corruption  and  Helpless- 
ness, and  his  Conversion  by  God's  Grace  alone;  5.  Perseverance  of  the  Saints  in 
Grace. 

The  churches  of  the  denomination  are  mostly  confined  to  the  States  of  New  York, 
New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Illinois,  Michigan,  Indiana,  and  Iowa. 

The  Confession  of  Faith  of  this  denomination  is  the  same  as  that  of  the  German 
Reformed  Church.

PROTESTANT  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 

The  Protestant  Episcopal  Church  in  the  United  States  is  directly  descended  from 
the  Church  of  England.  From  the  time  of  the  first  congregations  of  the  latter  in 
America,  in  1607,  to  the  close  of  the  Revolution  in  1783,  all  the  clergy  in  the  colo- 
nies were  regarded  as  under  the  supervision  of  the  Bishop  of  London.  Thus,  for 
more  than  a  hundred  and  seventy  years  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church  in  America 
was  without  any  authorised  power  to  confer  holy  orders,  and  without  ability  to  ad» 
mit  to  the  communion  by  confirmation.  Thus  shorn  of  its  ordinances,  crippled  in  the 
exercise  of  its  legitimate  functions,  and  beset  by  hostile  sects  on  every  side,  it  had 
to  make  its  way  under  every  discouragement  and  disadvantage.  "  But  this  anomal- 
ous state  of  affairs,"  says  a  historian,  "was  not  unobserved,  nor  permitted  without 
an  effort  to  remedy  the  evil.  As  early  as  1638,  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury  de- 
signed sending  a  bishop  to  New  England,  but  was  prevented  by  the  troubles  in  Scot- 
land. After  the  restoration  of  Charles  the  Second  a  patent  was  made  out  for  the  con- 
secration of  Dr.  Alexander  Murray,  Bishop  of  Virginia.  But  the  plan  was  defeated 
by  the  Ministry.  From  that  time  to  the  Revolution,  the  need  of  bishops  in  America 
formed  the  letter-theme  of  every  devoted  missionary  in  the  colonies.  The  Society 
for  Propagating  the  Gospel  in  Foreign  Parts  took  up  the  subject,  and  in  1713  seemed 
likely  to  accomplish  the  object ;  but  the  death  of  Queen  Anne  frustrated  this  effort 
also.  Still  the  plan  was  kept  alive,  and  in  1715  Archbishop  Tenison  bequeathed 
£1000  for  the  support  of  bishops  in  the  colonies.  In  1723,  Rev.  Robert  Welton 
and  Rev.  John  Talbot  were  consecrated  bishops  for  the  American  Church  by  the 
non-juring  bishop  of  Scotland,  and  immediately  sailed  for  America.  But  the  British 
government  would  not  allow  bishops  not  ordained  in  England  to  officiate  in  the  colo- 
nies, and  Dr.  Welton  was  ordered  to  return  again  to  England,  and  Mr.  Talbot 
shortly  died,  so  that  this  effort  likewise  proved  abortive.  The  subject  was  now 
pressed  anew  in  England,  and  the  Bishop  of  London  decided  to  consecrate  his  suffra- 
gan, the  Rev.  Mr.  Colebatch,  and  send  him  to  officiate  in  the  colonies ;  but  the  latter 
was  forbidden  by  the  court  to  leave  the  kingdom.  The  Society  for  Propagating  the 
Gospel  was  cast  down  at  this  unlooked  for  result ;  but,  it  was  not  dismayed,  and  it 
continued  to  struggle  for  an  American  episcopate,  in  which  it  was  seconded  by  nearly 
every  bishop  in  England.  Colonial  Episcopalians  too,  petitioned,  in  all  their  strength. 
But  all  was  to  no  purpose.  The  court  politicians,  under  the  influence  of  the  dis- 
senters, who  were  active  and  united  in  their  opposition,  while  the  mass  of  the  Epis- 
copalians were  either  ignorant  or  indifferent  to  the  whole  matter,  were  not  to  be 
moved.  And  it  was  not  until  the  colonies  had  dared  to  assert  and  defend  their  in- 
dependence that  the  government  could  be  made  to  see  their  prayers  were  worthy  of 
attention.  Nor  was  even  this  enough  to  arouse  it  to  action.  For  when,  in  1783,  the 
Rev.  Samuel  Seabury  was  sent  to  England  for  consecration  as  Bishop  of  Connecticut, 
Parliament  refused  to  grant  authority  to  the  bishops  to  consecrate  a  bishop  for  an  in- 
dependent country.  After  waiting  patiently  for  ten  months  without  any  prospect  of 
.success,  Mr.  Seabury  was  ordered  to  proceed  to  Scotland  for  consecration,  which  he 
there  experienced  no  difficulty  in  obtaining,  the  Scotch  bishops  not  being  trammeled 
by  their  union  with  the  State. 

The  aspect  of  affairs  was  now  changed.  A  bishop  was  already  in  America,  and 
no  difficulty  was  found  in  obtaining  the  requisite  power  and  authority  for  the  Eng- 
lish bishops  to  consecrate  Doctors  White  and  Provoost,  and  subsequently  Doctor 
Madison,  for  the  American  church.  "And,"  concludes  the  pious  churchman,  from 
whom  we  take  this  account,  "  though  Bishop  Seabury  was  not  permitted  by  divine 
Providence  to  be  present  and  assist  at  the  consecration  of  but  a  single  bishop,  yet 


86  AMERICAS  CHRISTIAN  RECORD, 

every  bishop  of  this  church  can  trace  his  succession  through  him  and  the  Scottish.- 
line,  and  through  Bishop  White  and  the  English  line." 

The  different  episcopal  parishes  throughout  the  United  States  are  united  by  a  con- 
stitution, which  provides  for  a  general  convention  once  in  three  years,  at  some  place 
previously  determined,  in  which  the  church  in  each  State  or  diocese  is  represented 
by  lay  and  clerical  delegates  chosen  by  the  State  convention.  Every  diocese  has  an 
annual  convention  of  its  own  for  discussing  and  regulating  its  local  affairs.  At  the 
general  convention  each  order  of  representatives  has  one  vote,  and  the  concurrence 
of  both  is  necessary  to  an  act.  The  bishops  of  the  church  form  a  separate  house,  and 
are  empowered  to  originate  measures  for  the  concurrence  of  the  house  of  delegates ; 
and  when  any  proposed  act  passes  the  house  of  delegates,  it  is  sent  to  the  house  of 
bishops :  so  that  the  consent  of  both  houses  is  requisite  to  the  passage  of  any  act. 
The  church  is  governed  by  canons  framed  by  this  assembly. 

Church  offices  are  three — bishops,  priests  (or  presbyters,)  and  deacons. 

A  bishop  cannot  be  consecrated  until  he  is  thirty  years  of  age ;  a  priest,  till  he  is 
twenty-four;  a  deacon,  till  he  is  twenty-one. 

No  bishop  can  have  authority  over  other  bishops ;  though  every  bishop  is  respon- 
sible to  those  holding  the  same  office,  as  the  parts  of  a  body  must  always  be  respon- 
sible to  the  whole.  To  bishops,  in  this  church,  belong  the  exclusive  right  of  confer- 
ring episcopal  or  apostolical  authority  upon  others,  by  ordination  or  consecration ; 
ordaining  presbyters  and  deacons ;  of  confirming  those  who  have  been  baptised,  by 
prayer  and  laying  on  of  hands,  thereby  publicly  receiving  them  to  the  communion  of 
the  church ;  of  ruling  over  presbyters  and  deacons ;  of  administering  the  discipline  of 
the  church;  to  preside  in  all  councils  of  the  church,  and  declare  the  judgment  of  the 
same 

The  power  and  duties  of  priests  or  presbyters,  held  in  common  with  and  to  be  ex- 
ercised under  the  direction  of  the  bishops,  are — to  teach  the  people  by  expounding 
the  Scriptures;  to  rule  in  particular  congregations  and  administer  discipline  therein; 
to  watch  over  and  direct  the  conduct  of  those  over  whom  they  are  placed;  and  to 
give  their  concurrence  to  the  ordination  of  presbyters  by  laying  on  hands  with  the 
bishop. 

The  duties  of  deacons,  to  be  performed  under  the  direction  of  the  bishop  and  his 
presbyters,  are — to  receive  and  distribute  the  alms  of  the  church ;  to  baptise ;  to 
preach,  when  specially  licensed  therefor ;  to  assist  their  superiors  in  administering 
the  discipline  of  the  church ;  and  to  sit  in  councils  at  the  formation  of  rules  and 
canons  for  the  government  and  regulation  of  the  church.  A  deacon  who  has  satis- 
factorily exercised  his  office  for  a  year  or  more,  has  received  a  call  to  the  rectorship 
of  some  parish,  or  to  the  performance  of  other  appropriate  clerical  duty,  and  has 
received  the  testimonial  of  one  presbyter  and  a  competent  number  of  laymen,  that, 
for  a  given  time  preceding,  he  has  lived  honestly,  piously,  and  soberly,  has  not,  to 
their  knowledge  or  belief,  held  or  taught  any  doctrines  contrary  to  God's  word,  as 
received  and  believed  in  that  church,  and  has  performed  the  duties  of  deacon  satis- 
factorily, may  be  admitted  to  the  priesthood. 

Before  a  presbyter  can  be  consecrated  a  bishop,  he  must,  as  already  stated,  have 
arrived  at  the  age  of  thirty  ;  been  elected  by  a  majority  of  the  clergy  and  laity  of  the 
diocese  where  he  is  to  officiate,  and  received  from  the  body  electing  him,  testimonials 
declaring  that  they  believe  him  to  be  of  sufficient  learning,  of  sound  faith,  of  virtuous 
and  pure  manners,  of  godly  conversation,  not  justly  liable  to  evil  report,  apt  and 
meet  to  exercise  the  office  to  the  honor  of  God  and  the  edifying  of  his  church,  and 
that  he  will  be  a  wholesome  example  to  the  flock  of  Christ.  He  must  also  have  a 
similar  testimonial  from  a  majority  of  the  clergy  and  laity  composing  the  house  of 
delegates  in  General  Convention,  or  from  the  standing  committees  of  a  majority  of  the 
dioceses  in  the  union ;  and,  finally,  be  ordained  by  at  least  three  bishops. 


AttERICAtf  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  3? 

Parishes  have  the  power  of  meeting  at  such  times  and  places  as  they  may  deem 
expedient;  of  regulating  the  internal  concerns  of  the  parish;  of  choosing  their  own 
officers ;  of  levying  such  taxes  as  they  desire ;  of  choosing  delegates  to  the  dioce- 
san convention,  when  they  have  been  admitted  into  union  with  it ;  and  of  calling 
and  dismissing  their  minister  or  rector,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  bishop. 

No  clergyman  can  become  the  rector  of  any  parish,  until  its  union  with  the  con- 
vention, and  cannot  properly  officiate  in  any  such  parish  except  as  a  missionary. 
No  minister  can  be  sent  to  officiate  in  any  parish  without  a  call  from  the  same, 
except  as  a  missionary ;  and  no  missionary  can  be  sent  into  a  parish  where  there  is 
a  rector. 

Dioceses.— All  the  parishes  within  certain  local  limits,  generally  that  of  a  state, 
when  associated  together,  form  a  diocese.  Each  diocese  holds  an  annual  convention] 
composed  of  all  rectors  of  parishes,  and  ministers  performing  certain  other  clerical 
duties,  and  of  one  or  more  lay  delegates  from  every  parish  in  union  with  the  con- 
vention. This  body  elects  the  bishop  of  the  diocese,  and  presents  him  for  trial ; 
chooses  a  standing  committee,  which  is  a  council  of  advice  to  the  bishop ;  deter- 
mines how  ecclesiastical  offences  shall  be  tried ;  appoints  delegates  to  the  'general 
convention ;  and  whatever  else  may  be  deemed  expedient  for  the  cause  of  religion 
and  the  church,  not  inconsistent  with  the  constitution  and  canons  of  the  general  con- 
vention. 

Both  clergy  and  laity  meet  and  deliberate  in  one  body,  but  when  divided,  vote 
separately,  a  majority  of  each  being  requisite  to  any  enactment.  The  delegates  to 
the  general  convention  are  composed  of  an  equal  number  of  clergy  and  laity,  never 
exceeding  four  each,  from  a  diocese,  the  members  of  which  are  nominated  by  its  owa 
order,  and  approved  by  the  convention. 

General  Convention.— All  Protestant  Episcopal  churches  in  the  United  States,  are 
associated  in  one  national  body  called  the  General  Convention,  which  meets  trien- 
nially.  This  body  is  composed  of  two  houses— the  House  of  Bishops,  including  the 
bishops  of  all  the  dioceses  in  the  country,  and  the  House  of  Clerical  and  Lay  Depu- 
ties. 

The  clergy  and  laity,  composing  the  House  of  Deputies,  meet  and  deliberate  to- 
gether; but,  when  required,  vote  separately,  and  sometimes  by  dioceses. 

The  General  Convention  directs  the  manner  in  which  the  qualifications  of  candi- 
dates for  orders  shall  be  estimated  and  determined;  regulates  the  particulars  in 
regard  to  the  election  and  ordination  of  the  orders  of  the  ministry  ;  defines  the 
nature  of  ecclesiastical  offences,  and  decrees  the  punishment  thereof;  settles  the 
particular  form  and  orders  of  its  common  prayer,  aud  publishes  authorized  editions 
of  the  Book  of  Common  Prayer ;  and  directs  the  mode  and  manner  of  its  intercourse 
with  foreign  churches. 

In  all  cases,  the  House  of  Bishops  has  a  negative  upon  the  House  of  Deputies ; 
but  when  exercised  must  be  communicated,  within  a  limited  time  to  that  House. 

No  law  or  canon  can  be  enacted  without  the  concurrence  of  both-clergy  and  laity  ; 
no  man  can  be  introduced  into  the  sacred  office  without  testimonials  from  both 
orders;  no  clergyman  be  sent  to  minister  where  he  may  not  choose  to  go;  no  parish 
be  required  to  receive  or  continue  a  clergyman  obnoxious  to  a  majority  of  the  parish- 
ioners ;  no  man  be  punished  for  any  offence  not  clearly  defined  by  the  laws  of  the 
church,  nor  in  any  manner  but  in  that  prescribed  by  the  same,  and  never  without 
an  opportunity  of  a  trial  by  his  peers. 

The  salaries  of  the  clergy  are  determined  by  the  mutual  agreement  of  minister  and 
people.

GENERAL    HISTORY. 


Virginia. — The  first  church  was  planted  at  Jamestown,  Va.,  in  1607,  the  Rev.  M. 
Hunt  being  the  rector,  In  1722,  there  were  54  parishes  in  the  province,  the  ma- 
jority of  which  were  supplied  with  clergy.  In  1775,  there  were  95  parishes,  164 
churches  and  chapels,  and  91  clergymen.  In  1783,  there  were  but  28  clergymen

with  clergy  from  Sweden.  The  first  church  was  built  in  1646.  Penn  arrived  in  the

THE  XXXIX  ARTICLES  OP  RELIGION, 

As  established  by  the  Bishops,  the  Clergy,  and  Laity  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church  in  the  United 
States  of  America,  in  Convention,  on  the  Twelfth  Day  of  September,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  1801. 

Article  1.  Of  Faith  in  tJie  Holy  Trinity.— There  is  but  one  living  and  true  God, 
everlasting,  without  body,  parts,  or  passions ;  of  infinite  power,  wisdom,  and  good- 
ness; the  Maker  and -Preserver  of  all  things,  both  visible  and  invisible.  And  in 
unity  of  this  Godhead,  there  be  three  persons,  of  one  substance,  power,  and  eternity  ■ 
the  Father,  the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Ghost.  ' 

_  Art.  2.  Of  the  Word,  or  Son  of  God,  which  was  made  very  Man.— The  Son,  which 
is  the  Word  of  the  Father,  begotten  from  everlasting  of  the  Father,  the  very  and 
eternal  God,  of  one  substance  with  the  Father,  took  man's  nature  in  the  womb  of 
the  blessed  Virgin,  of  her  substance ;  so  that  two  whole  and  perfect  natures,  that 
is  to  say,  the  Godhead  and  Manhood,  were  joined  together  in  one  person,  never  to  be 
divided,  whereof  is  one  Christ,  very  God  and  very  Man ;  who  truly  suffered,  was 
crueified,  dead  and  buried,  to  reconcile  his  Father  to  us,  and  to  be  a  sacrifice,  not 
only  for  original  guilt,  but  also  for  actual  sins  of  men. 

Art.  3.  Of  the  going  down  of  Christ  into  Hell— As  Christ  died  for  us,  and  was 
buried ;  so  also  is  it  to  be  believed  that  he  went  down  into  hell. 

Art.  4.  Of  the  Resurrection  of  Christ— Christ  did  truly  rise  again  from  death,  and 
took  again  his  body,  with  flesh,  bones,  and  all  things  appertaining  to  the  perfection 
of  man  s  nature,  wherewith  he  ascended  into  Heaven,  and  there  sitteth,  until  he  re- 
turn to  judge  all  men  at  the  last  day. 

Art.  5.  Oftlie  Holy  Ghost.— The  Holy  Ghost,  proceeding  from  the  Father  and 
the  Son,  is  of  one  substance,  majesty  and  glory  with  the  Father  and  the  Son,  very 
and  eternal  God.  '       J 


92  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

Art.  6.  Of  t\e  Sufficiency  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  for  Salvation. — Holy  Scripture^ 
containeth  all  things  necessary  to  salvation :  so  that  whatsoever  is  not  read  therein, 
nor  may  be  proved  thereby,  is  not  to  be  required  of  any  man,  that  it  should  be  be- 
lieved as  an  article  of  the  faith,  or  be  thought  requisite  or  necessary  to  salvation.  In 
the  name  of  the  Holy  Scripture  we  do  understand  those  Canonical  Books  of  the  Old 
and  New  Testament,  of  whose  authority  was  never  and  doubt  in  the  church. 

Of  the  Names  and  Number  of  Canonical  Books — Genesis,  Exodus,  Leviticus,  Numeri, 
Deuteronomium,  Joshue,  Judges,  Euth,  the  First  Book  of  Samuel,  the  Second  Book 
of  Samuel,  the  First  Book  of  Kings,  the  Second  Book  of  Kings,  the  First  Book  of 
Chronicles,  the  Second  Book  of  Chronicles,  the  First  Book  of  Esdras,  the  Second 
Book  of  Esdras,  the  Book  of  Hester,  the  Book  of  Job,  the  Psalms,  the  Proverbs, 
Ecclesiastes  or  Preacher,  Cantica  or  Songs  of  Solomon,  Four  Prophets  the  greater, 
Twelve  Prophets  the  less. 

And  the  other  Books  (as  Hierome  saith)  the  Church  doth  read  for  example  of  life, 
and  instruction  of  manners ;  but  yet  it  doth  not  apply  them  to  establish  any  doctrine ; 
such  are  these  following :  The  Third  Book  of  Esdras,  the  Fourth  Book  of  Esdras, 
the  Book  of  Tobias,  the  Book  of  Judith,  the  rest  of  the  Book  of  Hester,  the  Book  of 
Wisdom,  Jesus  the  Son  of  Sirach,  Baruch  the  Prophet,  the  Song  of  the  Three 
Children,  the  Story  of  Susanna,  of  Bel  and  the  Dragon,  the  Prayer  of  Manasses,  the 
First  Book  of  Maccabees,  the  Second  Book  of  Maccabees. 

All  the  Books  of  the  New  Testament,  as  they  are  commonly  received,  we  do  re- 
ceive and  account  them  Canonical. 

Art.  1.  Of  the  Old  Testament. — The  Old  Testament  is  not  contrary  to  the  New, 
for  both  in  the  Old  and  New  Testament  everlasting  life  is  offered  to  mankind  by 
Christ,  who  is  the  only  Mediator  between  God  and  man,  being  both  God  and  man. 
"Wherefore  they  are  not  to  be  heard,  which  feign,  that  the  old  fathers  did  look  only 
for  transitory  promises.  Although  the  Law  given  from  God  by  Moses,  as  touching 
ceremonies  and  rites,  do  not  bind  Christian  men,  nor  the  civil  precepts  thereof  ought 
of  necessity  to  be  received  in  any  commonwealth  ;  yet,  notwithstanding,  no  Christian 
man  whatsoever  is  free  from  the  obedience  of  the  commandments  which  are  called 
moral. 

Art.  8.  Of  the  Creeds. — The  Nicene  Creed,  and  that  which  is  commonly  called 
the  Apostles'  Creed,  ought  thoroughly  to  be  received  and  believed ;  for  they  may  be 
proved  by  most  certain  warrants  of  Holy  Scripture. 

Art.  9.  Of  Original  or  Birth  Sin. — Original  sin  standeth  not  in  the  following  of 
Adam  (as  the  Pelagians  do  vainly  talk) ;  but  it  is  the  fault  and  corruption  of  the  nature 
of  every  man  that  naturally  is  engendered  of  the  offspring  of  Adam,  whereby  man 
is  very  far  gone  from  original  righteousness,  and  is  of  his  own  nature  inclined  to 
evil,  so  that  the  flesh  lusteth  always  contrary  to  the  Spirit ;  and,  therefore,  in  every 
person  born  into  this  world,  it  deserveth  God's  wrath  and  damnation.  And  this  in- 
fection of  nature  doth  remain,  yea,  in  them  that  are  regenerated ;  whereby  the  lust 
of  the  flesh  is  not  subject  to  the  law  of  God.  And,  although  there  is  no  condemna- 
tion for  them  that  believe  and  are  baptized ;  yet,  the  Apostle  doth  confess,  that  con 
cupiscence  and  lust  hath  of  itself  the  nature  of  sin. 

Art.  10.  Of  Free  Will — The  condition  of  man  after  the  fall  of  Adam,  is  sue1  * 
that  he  cannot  turn  and  prepare  himself,  by  his  own  natural  strength  and  goo ' 
works,  to  faith,  and  calling  upon  God;  wherefore,  we  have  no  power  to  do  god 
works,  pleasant  and  acceptable  to  God,  without  the  grace  of  God  by  Christ  prevent- 
ing us,  that  we  may  have  a  good  will,  and  working  with  us  when  we  have  that  good 
will. 

Art.  11.  Of  the  Justification  of  Man. — We  are  accounted  righteous  before  God, 
only  for  the  merit  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ,  by  faith ;  and  not  for  our 
own  works  or  deservings.     "Wherefore,  that  we  are  justified  by  faith  only,  is  a  most 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  93 

wholesome  doctrine,  and  very  full  of  comfort  is  as  more  largely  expressed,  in  the 
Homily  of  Justification. 

Art.  12.  Of  Good  Works. — Albeit  that  good  works,  which  are  the  fruits  of  faith, 
and  follow  after  justification,  cannot  put  away  our  sins,  and  endure  the  severity  of 
God's  judgment ;  yet  are  they  pleasing  and  acceptable  to  God  in  Christ,  and  do 
spring  out  necessarily  of  a  true  and  lively  faith;  insomuch  that  by  them  a  lively 
faith  may  be  as  evidently  known,  as  a  tree  discerned  by  the  fruit. 

Art.  13.  Of  Works  before  Justification. — Works  done  before  the  grace  of  Christ, 
and  the  inspiration  of  his  Spirit,  are  not  pleasant  to  God,  forasmuch  as  they  spring 
not  of  faith  in  Jesus  Christ,  neither  do  they  make  men  meet  to  receive  grace,  or  (as 
the  school  authors  say)  deserve  grace  of  congruity ;  yea,  rather,  for  that  they  are  not 
done  as  God  hath  willed  and  commanded  them  to  be  done,  we  doubt  not  but  they 
have  the  nature  of  sin. 

Art.  14.  Of  Works  of  Supererogation. — Voluntary  works,  besides  over  and  above 
God's  Commandments,  which  they  call  works  of  supererogation,  cannot  be  taught 
without  arrogancy  and  impiety.  For  by  them  men  do  declare,  that  they  do  not  only 
render  unto  God  as  much  as  they  are  bound  to  do,  but  that  they  do  more  for  his 
sake  than  of  bounden  duty  is  required :  Whereas  Christ  saith  plainly,  "When  ye 
have  done  all  that  are  commanded  to  you,  say,  we  are  unprofitable  servants." 

Art.  15.  Of  Christ  alone  without  sin. — Christ  in  the  truth  of  our  nature,  was 
made  like  unto  us  in  all  things,  sin  only  except,  from  which  he  was  clearly  void, 
both  in  his  flesh  and  in  his  spirit.  He  came  to  be  a  Lamb  without  spot,  who  by  sac- 
rifice of  himself  once  made,  should  take  away  the  sins  of  the  world ;  and  sin  (as  St. 
John  saith)  was  not  in  him.  But  all  we  the  rest  (although  baptized  and  born  again 
in  Christ)  yet  offend  in  many  things ;  and  if  we  say  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  our- 
selves, and  the  truth  is  not  in  us. 

Art.  16.  Of  Sin  after  Baptism. — Not  every  deadly  sin,  willingly  committed  after 
baptism,  is  sin  against  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  unpardonable.  Wherefore,  the  grant  of 
repentance  is  not  to  be  denied  to  such  as  fall  into  sin  after  baptism.  After  we  have 
received  the  Holy  Ghost,  we  may  depart  from  grace  given,  and  fall  into  sin,  and  by 
the  grace  of  God  (we  may)  arise  again,  and  amend  our  lives.  And,  therefore,  they 
are  to  be  condemned,  which  say,  they  can  no  more  sin  as  long  as  they  live  here,  or 
deny  the  place  of  forgiveness  to  such  as  truly  repent. 

Art.  17.  Of  Predestination  and  Election. — Predestination  to  life  is  the  everlasting 
purpose  of  God,  whereby  (before  the  foundations  of  the  world  were  laid)  he  hath 
constantly  decreed,  by  his  counsel,  secret  to  us,  to  deliver  from  curse  and  damnation, 
those  whom  he  hath  chosen  in  Christ  out  of  mankind,  and  to  bring  them  by  Christ 
to  everlasting  salvation,  as  vessels  made  to  honor.  Wherefore  they,  which  he  en- 
dued with  so  excellent  a  benefit  of  God,  be  called  according  to  God's  purpose,  by 
his  Spirit  working  in  due  season :  they,  through  grace,  obey  the  calling :  they  be 
justified  freely  :  they  be  made  sons  of  God  by  adoption  :  they  be  made  like  the  image 
of  His  only  begotten  Son  Jesus  Christ :  they  walk  religiously  in  good  works  ;  and  at 
length,  by  God's  mercy,  they  attain  to  everlasting  felicity. 

As  the  godly  consideration  of  predestination  and  our  election  in  Christ,  is  full  of 
sweet,  pleasant,  and  unspeakable  comfort  to  godly  persons,  and  such  as  feel  in  them- 
selves the  working  of  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  mortifying  the  works  of  the  flesh  and  their 
earthly  members,  and  drawing  up  their  mind  to  high  and  heavenly  things,  as  well 
because  it  doth  greatly  establish  and  confirm  their  faith  of  eternal  salvation,  to  be 
enjoyed  through  Christ,  as  because  it  doth  fervently  kindle  their  love  towards  God  ; 
so,  for  curious  and  carnal  persons,  lacking  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  to  have  continually 
before  their  eyes  the  sentence  of  God's  predestination,  is  a  most  dangerous  downfall, 
whereby  the  devil  doth  thrust  them  either  into  desperation,  or  into  wretchedness  of 
most  unclean  living,  no  less  perilous  than  desperation. 

Furthermore,  we  must  receive  God's  promises  in  such  wise  as  they  be  generally

about,  but  that  we  should  duly  use  them.  And  in  such  only  as  worthily  receive  the 
game,  they  have  a  wholesome  effect  or  operation :  but  they  that  receive  them  un- 
worthily, purchase  to  themselves  damnation,  as  St.  Paul  saith. 

Art.  26.  Of  the  ten-worthiness  of  the  Ministers,  which  hinders  not  the  effect  of  the 
Sacraments. — Although  in  the  visible  church  the  evil  be  ever  mingled  with  the  good, 
and  sometime  the  evil  have  chief  authority  in  the  ministration  of  the  word  and  sacra 
ments;  yet,  forasmuch  as  they  do  not  the  same  in  their  own  name,  but  in  Christ's 
and  do  minister  by"  his  commission  and  authority,  we  may  use  their  ministry,  both  in 
hearing  the  word  of  God,  and  in  receiving  the  sacraments.  Neither  is  the  effect  of 
Christ's  ordinance  taken  away  by  their  wickedness,  nor  the  grace  of  God's  gifts 
diminished  from  such,  as  by  faith,  and  rightly,  do  receive  the  sacraments  ministered 
unto  them,  which  be  effectual,  because  of  Christ's  institution  and  promise,  although 
they  be  ministered  by  evil  men. 

Nevertheless,  it  appertaineth  to  the  discipline  of  the  Church,  that  inquiry  be  made 
of  evil  ministers,  and  that  they  be  accused  by  those  that  have  knowledge  of  their 
offences :  and  finally,  being  found  guilty,  by  just  judgment,  be  deposed. 

Art.  27.  Of  Baptism, — Baptism  is  not  only  a  sign  of  profession,  and  mark  of 
difference,  whereby  Christian  men  are  discerned  from  others  that  be  not  christened ; 
but  it  is  also  a  sign  of  regeneration,  or  new  birth,  whereby,  as  by  an  instrument, 
they  that  receive  Baptism  rightly  are  grafted  into  the  church :  the  promises  of  the 
forgiveness  of  sin,  and  of  our  adoption  to  be  the  sons  of  God  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  are 
visibly  signed  and  sealed  :  faith  is  confirmed,  and  grace  increased  by  virtue  of  prayer 
unto  God.  The  baptism  of  young  children  is  in  any  wise  to  be  retained  in  the 
church  as  most  agreeable  with  the  institution  of  Christ. 

Art.  28.  Of  the  Lord's  Supp>er. — The  Supper  of  the  Lord  is  not  only  a  sign  of 
the  love  that  Christians  ought  to  have  among  themselves  one  to  another ;  but  rather 
it  is  a  sacrament  of  our  redemption  by  Christ's  death :  insomuch  that  to  such  as 
rightly,  worthily,  and  with  faith  receive  the  same,  the  bread  which  wo  break  is  a 
partaking  of  the  body  of  Christ ;  and  likewise  the  cup  of  blessing,  is  a  partaking  of 
the  blood  of  Christ. 

Transubstantiation  (or  the  change  of  the  substance  of  bread  and  wine)  in  the  sup- 
per of  the  Lord,  cannot  be  proved  by  Holy  Writ ;  but  it  is  repugnant  to  the  plain 
words  of  scripture,  overthroweth  the  nature  of  a  sacrament,  and  hath  given  occasion 
to  many  superstitions. 

The  body  of  Christ  is  given,  taken  and  eaten  in  the  supper,  only  after  an  heavenly 
and  spiritual  manner.  And  the  mean  whereby  the  body  of  Christ  is  received  and 
eaten  in  the  supper,  is  Faith. 

The  sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper  was  not  by  Christ's  ordinance  reserved,  car- 
ried about,  lifted  up,  or  worshipped. 

Art.  29.  Of  the  wicked,  which  eat  not  of  the  Body  of  Christ  in  the  tcse  of  the  Lord's 
Supper. — The  wicked,  and  such  as  be  void  of  a  lively  faith,  although  they  do  carnally 
and  visibly  press  with  their  teeth  (as  St.  Augustine  saith)  the  sacrament  of  the  body 
and  blood  of  Christ;  yet  in  no  wise  are  they  partakers  of  Christ;  but  rather  to  their 
condemnation  do  eat  and  drink  the  sign  or  sacrament  of  so  great  a  thing. 

Art.  30.  Of  both  Kinds. — The  cup  of  the  Lord  is  not  to  be  denied  to  the  lay-peo- 
ple; for  both  the  parts  of  the  Lord's  sacrament,  by  Christ's  ordinance  and  command- 
ment, ought  to  be  ministered  to  all  Christian  men  alike. 

Art.  31.  Of  the  one  oblation  of  Christ  finished  upon  the  Cross. — The  offering  of  Christ 
once  made,  is  that  perfect  redemption,  propitiation,  and  satisfaction  for  all  the  sins 
of  the  whole  world,  both  original  and  actual ;  and  there  is  none  other  satisfaction  for 
sin,  but  that  alone.  Wherefore  the  sacrifice  of  Masses,  in  which  it  was  commonly 
said,  that  the  priest  did  offer  Christ  for  the  quick  and  the  dead,  to  have  remission  of 
pain  or  guilt,  were  blasphemous  fables,  and  dangerous  deceits. 


96  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

Art.  32.  Of  the  Marriage  of  Priests. — Bishops,  priests,  and  deacons,  are  not  com- 
manded by  God's  law,  either  to  vow  the  estate  of  single  life,  or  to  abstain  from  mar- 
riage :  therefore  it  is  lawful  for  them,  as  for  all  other  Christian  men,  to  marry  at 
their  own  discretion,  as  they  shall  judge  the  same  to  serve  better  to  godliness. 

Art.  33.  Of  excommunicate  Persons,  how  they  are  to  he  avoided. — That  person 
which  by  open  denunciation  of  the  church  is  rightly  cut  off  from  the  unity  of  the 
church,  and  excommunicated,  ought  to  be  taken  of  the  whole  multitude  of  the  faith- 
ful, as  an  heathen  and  publican,  until  he  be  openly  reconciled  by  penance,  and  re- 
ceived into  the  church  by  a  judge  who  hath  authority  thereunto. 

Art.  34.  Of  the  Traditions  of  the  Church. — It  is  not  necessary  that  traditions  and 
ceremonies  be  in  all  places  one,  or  utterly  like ;  for  at  all  times  they  have  been  divers, 
and  may  be  changed  according  to  the  diversity  of  countries,  times,  and  men's  man- 
ners, so  that  nothing  be  ordained  against  God's  word.  Whosoever,  through  his 
private  judgment,  willingly  and  purposely  doth  openly  break  the  traditions  and  cere- 
monies of  the  church,  which  be  not  repugnant  to  the  word  of  God,  and  be  ordained 
and  approved  by  common  authority,  ought  to  be  rebuked  openly  (that  others  may 
fear  to  do  the  like),  as  he  that  offendeth  against  the  common  order  of  the  church,  and 
hurteth  the  authority  of  the  magistrate,  and  woundeth  the  consciences  of  the  weak 
brethren. 

Every  particular  or  national  Church  hath  authority  to  ordain,  chauge,  and  abolish 
ceremonies  or  rites  of  the  church,  ordained  only  by  man's  authority,  so  that  all  things 
be  done  to  edifying. 

Art.  35.  Of  Homilies. — The  second  Book  of  Homilies,  the  several  titles  whereof 
We  have  joined,  under  this  article,  doth  contain  a  godly  and  wholesome  doctrine,  and 
necessary  lor  these  times,  as  doth  the  former  Book  of  Homilies,  which  were  set  forth 
in  the  time  of  Edward  the  Sixth  ,  and  therefore  we  judge  them  to  be  read  in  churches 
by  the  ministers  diligently  and  distinctly,  that  they  may  be  understanded  of  the 
people. 

Of  the  Names  of  the  Homilies. 

1.  Of  the  right  use  of  the  church;  2.  Against  peril  of  idolatry;  3.  Of  repairing  and 
keeping  clean  of  churches  ;  4.  Of  good  works  :  first  of  fasting ;  5.  Against  gluttony 
and  drunkenness;  6.  Against  excess  of  apparel;  7.  Of  prayer;  8.  Of  the  place  and 
time  of  prayer ;  9.  That  Common  Prayers  and  Sacraments  ought  to  be  ministered  in 
a  known  tongue  ;  10.  Of  the  reverent  estimation  of  God's  Word;  11.  Of  alms-doing ; 
12.  Of  the  nativity  of  Christ ;  13.  Of  the  passion  of  Christ ;  14.  Of  the  resurrection 
cf  Christ ;  15.  Of  the  worthy  receiving  of  the  Sacrament  of  the  Body  and  Blood  of 
Christ;  16.  Of  the  Gifts  of  the  Holy  Ghost;  17.  For  the  Rogation-days ;  18.  Of  the 
state  of  matrimony ;   19.  Of  repentance  ;  20.  Against  idleness:   21.  Against  rebellion. 

[This  Article  is  received  in  this  church  so  far  as  it  declares  the  Book  of  Homilies 
to  be  an  explication  of  Christian  doctrine,  and  instructive  in  piety  and  morals.  But 
all  references  to  the  constitution  and  laws  of  England  are  considered  as  inapplicable 
to  the  circumstances  of  this  church,  which  also  suspends  the  order  for  the  reading  of 
said  Homilies  in  churches  until  a  revision  of  them  may  be  conveniently  made,  for  the 
clearing  of  them,  as  well  from  obsolete  words  and  phrases,  as  from  the  local  re- 
ferences.] 

Art.  36.  Of  Consecration  of  Bishops  and  Ministers. — The  Book  of  Consecration 
of  Bishops,  and  ordering  of  Priests  and  Deacons,  as  set  forth  by  the  General  Conven- 
tion of  this  church  in  1792,  doth  contain  all  things  necessary  to  such  consecration  and 
ordering;  neither  hath  it  anything  that,  of  itsel',  is  superstitious  and  ungodly;  and, 
therefore,  whosoever  are  consecrated  or  ordered  according  to  said  form,  we  decree  all 
such  to  be  rightly,  orderly,  and  lawfully  consecrated  and  ordered. 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  9Y 

Art.  37.  Of  the  Power  of  the  Civil  Magistrates. — The  power  of  the  civil  magistrate 
extendeth  to  all  men,  as  well  clergy  as  laity,  in  all  things  temporal ;  but  hath  no  au- 
thority in  things  purely  spiritual.  And  we  hold  it  to  be  the  duty  of  all  men  who  are 
professors  of  the  Gospel,  to  pay  respectful  obedience  to  the  civil  authority,  regularly 
and  legitimately  constituted. 

Art.  38.  Of  Christian  Men's  Goods  which  arenot  Common. — The  riches  and  goods 
of  Christians  are  not  common,  as  touching  the  right,  title,  and  possession  of  the  same, 
as  certain  Anabaptists  do  falsely  boast.  Notwithstanding,  every  man  ought,  of 
such  things  as  he  possesseth,  liberally  to  give  alms  to  the  poor,  according  to  his 
ability. 

Art.  39.  Of  a  Christian  Man's  Oath. — As  we  confess  that  vain  and  rash  swear- 
ing is  forbidden  Christian  men  by  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  James,  his  Apostle :  so 
we  judge  that  Christian  religion  doth  not  prohibit,  but  that  a  man  may  swear  when  the 
magistrate  requireth,  in  a  cause  of  faith  and  charity,  so  it  be  done  according  to  the 
prophets,  teaching  in  justice,  judgment,  and  truth. 


EVANGELICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

This  denomination  owes  its  rise  to  the  labors  of  Jacob  Albright,  a  German,  and 
a  close  student  of  the  Scriptures,  who,  in  1796,  commenced  travelling  through  the 
country,  and  preaching  to  his  countrymen  as  he  went.  His  views,  in  some  respects 
peculiar,  at  first,  evoked,  from  some,  only  ridicule ;  but  the  vigor  with  which  he  de- 
fended them,  the  clearness  of  his  logic,  and  the  intimate  knowledge  of  the  Scriptures 
he  evinced,  had  effect  upon  adversaries,  who,  if  not  in  all  cases  convinced,  were  at 
length  willing  to  let  him  proceed  without  interruption.  The  church,  among  the 
Germans,  at  that  time,  was  in  a  low  state;  what  little  existed  of  religion  was  the 
barest  formalism.  At  first,  Mr.  Albright  was  scarcely  noticed.  In  time,  however, 
his  vigorous  preaching,  his  unquestionable  piety,  his  sturdy  zeal,  and  his  frank,  genial 
manner  had  influence.  Listeners  were  found,  at  first  in  small  numbers,  but  after- 
wards in  crowds,  and  friends  grew  up  around  him  at  every  step.  In  1800,  he  united 
with  a  number  of  others,  who  had  been  led  under  his  preaching  to  embrace  the  gos- 
pel, in  the  formation  of  a  religious  society,  which  took  root  and  prospered,  sending 
out  several  small  branches.  In  1 803,  the  society  deemed  it  expedient  to  organise  a 
system  of  discipline  for  their  body,  which  had  now  become  comparatively  numerous. 
Mr.  Albright  was  elected  presiding  elder,  and  duly  confirmed  and  ordained  by  laying 
on  of  hands  bj'  the  other  preachers,  of  whom  at  this  time  there  were  several ;  and  the 
several  branches  shortly  after  meeting  in  a  general  conference  adopted  the  Holy 
Scriptures  as  their  only  rule  of  faith  and  discipline,  and  such  rules  and  regulations  as 
seemed  to  them  necessary  for  the  prosperity  of  their  body  and  the  salvation  of  souls. 
Such  is,  in  brief,  the  early  history  of  the  body  of  Christians  now  known  under  the 
name  of  the  Evangelical  Association. 

For  a  time,  the  denomination  had  to  endure  the  common  lot,  in  misrepresentation, 
detraction,  and  persecution.  But  this  disappeared  as  its  principles  became  better 
understood,  and  it  now  pursues  its  work  with  vigor  and  success. 

Its  field  of  operations  is  principally  among  the  Germans  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada  West,  though  it  has  ministers  who  preach  both  in  German  and  English. 

Its  form  of  government  is  episcopal.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  bishops,  elected  by  the 
General  Conference,  to  which  they  are  responsible,  alternately  to  travel  through  the

whole  connexion,  to  superintend  tbe  temporal  and  spiritual  affairs  of  the  church,  and 
to  preside  at  the  annual  and  general  conferences. 

The  province  of  a  presiding  elder  is  to  travel  over  the  whole  bounds  of  his  district, 
to  hold  stated  Quarterly  Meetings,  to  preside  at  Quarterly  Conferences,  and  to  super- 
intend all  the  churches  within  the  district 

Preachers  in  charge  of  circuits  and  stations  have  the  superintendence  of  their  re- 
spective fields  of  labor.  In  addition  to  preaching,  they  are  to  attend  to  the  formation 
of  classes,  direct  and  superintend  elections  of  leaders  and  exhorters,  and  receive,  put 
back  on  trial,  or  expel  members,  as  cases  may  require. 

The  denomination  has  a  Sunday-School  Society,  a  Missionary  Society,  an  Education 
Society,  a  Charter  Fund,  and  a  Book  Concern. 

The  Book  Concern,  located  at  New  Berlin,  Pa.,  is  a  source  of  revenue,  the  profits 
of  which  are  divided  among  the  conferences  for  the  support  of  superannuated  preach- 
ers, and  the  widows  and  orphans  of  deceased  ministers.  Its  list  of  publications  is 
quite  extensive,  and  embraces,  beside  standard  theological  works,  the  productions  of 
several  able  pens  that  have  risen  in  the  denomination.  In  addition  to  these,  it  pub- 
lishes two  periodicals,  one  in  German,  the  other  in  English. 

The  denomination,  though  small  compared  with  many,  is  yet  active  and  prosperous. 
It  has  about  1,150  local  and  travelling  preachers,  and,  as  nearly  as  can  be  ascertained, 
about  33,000  members,  principally  among  the  Germans  in  the  central  and  Western 
States,  and  in  Canada  West. 

ARTICLES   OF  FAITH. 

1.  Of  the  Holy  Trinity. — There  is  but  one  only,  true,  and  living  God,  an  Eternal 
Being,  a  Spirit  without  a  body,  indivisible,  infinite,  mighty,  wise,  and  good,  the  crea- 
tor and  preserver  of  all  things,  visible  and  invisible.  And  in  this  Godhead  there  is 
a  Trinitv,  of  one  substance  and  power,  and  co-eternal — the  Father,  the  Son,  and  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

2.  Concerning  the  Word,  or  Son  of  God,  who  Became  Man. — The  Son,  who  is  the 
Word  of  the  Father,  the  eternal  and  true  God,  of  one  substance  with  the  Father,  took 
man's  nature  in  the  womb  of  the  blessed  Virgin,  so  that  both  natures,  the  divine  and 
the  human,  are  perfectly  and  inseparably  joined  together  (in  him  as  in  one  person) ; 
therefore  he  is  Christ  (the  anointed),  very  God  and  very  man,  even  he,  who  suffered, 
was  crucified,  dead  and  buried,  in  order  to  reconcile  the  justice  of  the  Eternal  Father 
with  us,  and  to  present  himself  a  sacrifice  for  both  our  original  and  actual  sins. 

3.  Of  Christ's  Resurrection. — This  Christ  did  truly  rise  again  from  the  dead,  and 
resumed  his  body,  with  all  things  appertaining  to  the  perfection  of  man's  nature,  and 
thus  in  the  same  body  he  ascended  into  heaven,  and  sitteth  there  until  he  return 
again,  at  the  last  day,  to  judge  all  men. 

4.  Of  the  Holy  Ghost. — The  Holy  Ghost  proceeds  from  the  Father  and  the  Son,  is 
the  true  and  eternal  God,  of  one  substance,  majesty  and  glory,  with  the  Father  and 
the  Son. 

6.  The  Sufficiency  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  for  our  Instruction  to  Salvation. — The 
Holy  Scriptures  contain  the  decree  of  God,  so  far  as  it  is  necessary  for  us  to  know 
for  our  salvation ;  so  that  whatsoever  is  not  contained  therein,  nor  may  be  proved 
thereby,  is  not  to  be  enjoined  on  any  to  believe  as  an  article  of  faith,  nor  as  a  doctrine 
essential  to  salvation. 

By  the  Holy  Scriptures,  we  understand  those  canonical  books  of  the  Old  and  New 
Testament,  which  the  Church  at  all  times  indubiously  received  as  such. 

6.  Concerning  the  Old  Testament. — The  Old  and  New  Testaments  are  not  contrary 
to  each  other ;  in  both,  as  well  in  the  Old  as  in  the  New  Testament,  everlasting  life 
U  offered  to  mankind  by  Christ,  being  both  God  and  man,  and  the  only  Mediator  be-

tween  God  and  man.  "Wherefore,  they  are  not  to  be  heard,  who  teach  that  the 
fathers  of  the  ancient  covenant  had  grounded  their  expectations  on  transitory  promises 
only.  Though  the  law  given  from  God  by  Moses,  touching  ceremonies  and  rites, 
doth  not  bind  Christians,  by  any  means,  nor  ought  the  civil  precepts  thereof  of  neces- 
sity be  received  in  any  commonwealth :  yet,  notwithstanding,  no  Christian  is  free 
from  the  obedience  of  the  ten  commandments,  which  are  also  called  the  moral  law. 

7.  Of  Original  Sin. — Original  sin  consisteth  not  in  the  tailing  of  Adam  (as  some 
falsely  pretend) ;  but  it  is  that  corruption  of  the  human  nature,  in  which  every  off- 
spring of  Adam  appears  in  this  world — a  corruption,  whereby  man  is  very  far  gone 
from  Original  righteousness,  and,  on  the  contrary,  is  of  his  own  nature  inclined  to 
evil,  and  that  continually. 

8.  Of  Free  Witt. — The  condition  of  man  after  and  since  the  fall  of  Adam  is  so 
wretched,  that  we  cannot  turn  unto  God  by  the  simple  powers  of  nature ;  and  hence 
we  cannot  by  our  own  natural  strength  do  any  good  works,  pleasing  and  acceptable 
in  the  sight  of  God,  without  the  grace  of  God  by  Christ  preventing  us,  and  influencing 
us  that  we  may  have  a  good  will,  and  working  with  us,  when  we  have  that  good  will. 

9.  Of  the  Justification  of  Man. — "We  are  never  accounted  righteous  before  God  on 
account  of  our  works  or  merits ;  but  it  is  only  for  the  merit  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour 
Jesus  Christ,  and  by  faith  in  his  name,  that  we  are  justified.  Wherefore,  that  we  are 
justified  by  faith  only,  is  a  most  wholesome  doctrine,  and  full  of  comfort. 

10.  Of  Good  Works. — Though  good  works  are  the  fruits  of  faith,  and  follow  justi- 
fication, whilst  they  have  not  the  virtue  to  put  away  our  sins,  nor  to  avert  the  judg- 
ment, or  endure  the  severity  of  God's  justice  :  yet  they  are  pleasing  and  acceptable 
to  God  in  Christ,  if  they  spring  out  of  a  true  and  living  faith,  inasmuch,  that  by  them 
living  faith  may  be  as  evidently  known,  as  a  tree  is  discerned  by  its  fruit. 

11.  Of  Sin  after  Justification. — Not  every  sin  willingly  committed  after  justifica- 
tion is,  therefore,  the  sin  against  the  Holy  Ghost,  which  is  unpardonable.  They  can- 
not all  be  precluded  from  repentance  who  fall  in  sin  after  justification,  nor  their  ac- 
ceptance straightway  denied  them.  *  After  we  have  received  the  H*oly  Ghost,  it  may 
bo  happen,  that  we  may  depart  from  grace,  and  fall  into  sin ;  and,  we  may  even  thus 
arise  again  by  the  grace  of  God  and  amend  our  lives.  And,  therefore,  the  doctrine 
of  those  is  to  be  rejected,  who  say,  they  can  no  more  fall  into  sin  as  long  as  they  live 
here,  or  who  deny  the  place  of  forgiveness  to  such  as  do  truly  repent. 

12.  Of  the  Church. — The  visible  Church  of  Christ  is  the  community  of  true  be- 
lievers, among  whom  the  word  of  God  is  preached  in  its  purity,  and  the  means  of 
grace  are  duly  administered,  according  to  Christ's  own  appointment  in  all  those 
things,  so  far  as  they  are  requisite,  and  in  conformity  with  the  ordinances  of  Christ. 

13.  Of  speaking  in  the  Congregation  in  such  a  Tongue  as  the  People  may  understand. — 
Public  prayers  in  the  church,  and  the  ministering  of  Baptism  and  of  the  Lord's  Sup- 
per in  a  tongue  not  understood  by  the  people,  are  matters  plainly  repugnant  to  tho 
word  offk>d,  and  the  custom  of  the  primitive  church.. 

14.  Of  Baptism  and  the  Lords  Supper. — Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper,  ordained 
fcy  Christ,  are  not  only  given  pledges  or  tokens  of  Christian  men's  profession,  but 
tiey  are  much  more  certain  signs  of  grace  and  God's  will  towards  us,  by  which  he 
works  invisibly  in  us,  quickens  and  also  strengthens  and  confirms  our  faith  in  him. 

Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper  were  not  ordained  by  Christ  that  we  should  abuse 
them;  but  that  we  should  duly  use  them.  And  in  such  only,  as  worthily  receive 
the  same,  they  produce  a  wholesome  and  effectual  power ;  but  such,  as  receive  them 
unworthily,  purchase  to  themselves  damnation,  as  Paul  saith. 

15.  Of  Baptism. — Baptism  is  not  merely  a  token  of  a  Christian  profession,  where- 
by Christians  are  distinguished  from  others,  and  whereby  they  obligate  themselves 
to  observe  every  Christian  duty ;  but  it  is  also  a  sign  of  internal  ablution,  renovation, 
or  the  new  birth. 


100  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

16.  Of  Ihe  Lord's  Supper. — The  Supper  of  the  Lord  is  not  merely  a  token  of  Idre 
and  union,  that  Christians  ought  to  have  among  themselves  and  one  towards  another ; 
but  it  is  much  more,  a  mystery  or  a  representation  of  our  redemption  by  the  suffer- 
ings and  death  of  Christ ;  insomuch,  tbat  such  as  rightly,  and  worthily,  and  faithfully 
receive  the  same,  partake  of  the  body  and  blood  of  Christ  by  faith,  as  the  imparting 
means,  not  in  a  bodily  but  in  a  spiritual  manner,  in  eating  the  broken  bread  and  in 
drinking  the  blessed  cup,  which  is  handed  them.  Transubstantiation,  or  the  chang- 
ing of  the  bread  and  wine  into  the  body  and  blood  of  Christ  in  the  Lord's  Supper, 
cannot  be  supported  by  Holy  Writ,  but  is  repugnant  to  the  plain  words  of  the 
Scriptures. 

17.  Of  the  only  Oblation  of  Christ,  finished  upon  the  Cross. — The  offering  which 
was  once  made  by  Christ  on  the  cross,  is  that  perfect  redemption,  propitiation,  and 
satisfaction  for  all  the  sins  of  the  whole  world,  both  original  and  actual,  so  that  there 
is  no  other  satisfaction  required  bnt  that  alone. 

18. —  Of  Church  Bites  and  Ceremonies. — It  is  by  no  means  necessary  that  cere- 
monies and  rites  should  in  all  places  be  the  same,  or  exactly  alike ;  for  they  have 
always  been  different,  and  may  be  changed  according  to  the  diversity  of  countries, 
times,  and  national  manners,  provided  that  nothing  be  introduced  contrary  to  God's 
ordinances.  Whosoever,  through  his  private  judgment,  willingly  and  purposely  doth 
break  the  ordinances,  ceremonies,  and  rites  of  the  church  to  which  he  belongs  (if  they 
are  not  repugnant  to  the  word  of  God,  and  are  ordained  by  proper  authority),  ought 
to  be  rebuked  openly,  as  one  that  offendeth  against  the  order  of  the  church,  and 
woundeth  the  consciences  of  the  weaker  brethren,  in  order  that  others  may  be  deterred 
from  similar  audacity. 

Every  particular  church  has  the  privilege  to  introduce,  change,  and  abolish  rites  and 
ceremonies  ;  yet  so  that  all  things  may  be  done  to  edification. 

19.  Of  the  Rulers  of  the  United  States  of  America. — The  President,  Congress,  the 
General  Assemblies,  the  Governors,  and  the  Councils  of  State,  as  the  delegates  of  the 
people,  according  to  the  regulation  and  transfer  of  power  made  to  them  by  the  Consti- 
tution of  the  United  States,  and  by  the  constitutions  of  their  respective  States,  are 
the  rulers  of  and  in  the  United  States.  And  these  States  are  a  sovereign  and  inde- 
pendent nation,  which  is  and  ought  not  to  be  subject  to  any  foreign  jurisdiction :  though 
we  believe  that  wars  and  bloodshed  are  not  agreeable  with  the  Gospel  and  Spirit  of 
Christ. 

Concerning  the  Christians  Temporal  Property. — The  temporal  property  of  Christians 
must  not  be  considered  as  common,  in  regard  to  the  right,  title,  and  possession  of 
of  the  same,  as  some  do  vainly  pretend ;  but  as  lawful  possessions.  Notwithstanding, 
every  one  ought,  of  the  things  he  possesseth,  to  give  to  the  poor  and  needy,  and  to 
manifest  Christian  love  and  liberality  towards  them. 

21.  Of  the  Last  Judgment,  and  God 's  Righteous  Sentence  of  Rewards  and  Punishments. 
— "We  believe  that  Jesus  Christ  will  come  in  the  last  day,  to  judge  all  mankind  by  a 
righteous  judgment ;  that  God  will  give  unto  the  faithful,  elect,  and  godly,  eternal 
lite  and  happiness,  everlasting  rest,  peace,  and  joy  without  end.  But  God  will  bid 
the  impenitent  and  ungodly  to  depart  to  the  devil  and  his  angels,  to  endure  everlasting 
damnation,  punishment,  and  pain,  torment  and  misery.  Therefore,  we  are  not  to 
concede  to  the  doctrines  of  those  who  maintain  that  devils  and  ungodly  men  will  not 
have  to  suffer  eternal  punishment  and  torment.

FRIENDS  OR  QUAKERS. 


This  denomination  of  Friends,  or  Quakers  as  they  were  sneeringly  termed  by  the  un- 
friendly, arose  in  England,  about  1647,  principally  under  the  ministry  of  George  Fox, 
who,  dissatisfied  with  the  errors  he  believed  had  crept  into  the  Episcopal  church,  in 
whose  doctrines  he  had  been  carefully  reared,  in  that  year  commenced  travelling 
extensively  through  England,  generally  on  foot,  and  preaching  his  views  of  the 
Gospel.  In  his  tours,  he  defrayed  his  own  expenses  out  of  his  own  slender  means, 
from  a  conviction  that  it  was  contrary  to  the  spirit  of  Christ's  command  for  any  one 
to  receive  any  compensation  for  preaching.  His  devoted  and  disinterested  labors 
were  crowned  with  so  great  success  that  in  a  few  years  considerable  numbers  had 
embraced  the  Christian  principles  he  promulgated.  Among  these  were  many  persons 
of  family,  fortune  and  distinction,  including  ministers  of  various  denominations.  The 
spirit  of  the  time  however  was  unfavorable  to  religious  freedom.  Persecution  was 
let  loose  against  the  new  sect ;  derisive  names  were  applied  to  its  members  ;  their 
property  was  confiscated;  their  meetings  riotously  interrupted,  themselves  stoned, 
publicly  whipped  by  officers  of  the  law,  and  in  many  cases  thrown  into  prison.  But 
in  that  day,  as  in  every  other,  persecution  failed  in  its  aim.  Their  sufferings  only 
caused  the  Friends  to  cling  with  greater  tenacity  to  their  faith  and  to  each  other. 
Persecution,  too,  called  general  attention  to  their  doctrines,  and  then  added  to  their 
ranks  thousands  of  the  brave  and  true.  Meetings  or  churches  rose  up  in  every  di- 
rection, and  in  such  rapidity  and  numbers  that  their  enemies  at  length  deemed  it  both 
expedient  and  politic  to  permit  them  to  go  on  undisturbed.  In  1665,  some  ministers 
travelled  through  Europe,  Asia  and  Africa,  preaching  their  doctrine  and  establishing 
societies  on  the  way.  As  in  England,  many  were  thrown  into  prison,  some  severely 
punished  in  the  inquisitions  of  Rome,  Malta  and  Hungary,  and  not  a  few  paid  the 
price  of  their  faith  with  their  lives. 

About  the  same  period,  a  few  Friends  landed  at  Boston,  Mass.,  and  commenced 
preaching  with  success.  Here,  as  elsewhere,  persecution  awaited  them.  Barbarous 
personal  abuse  was  relentlessly  showered  upon  them ;  misrepresentation,  denun- 
ciation and  threatenings  were  launched  against  them  from  the  pulpit ;  they  were  as- 
sailed in  the  streets,  at  their  places  of  business,  everywhere  ;  their  meetings  were 
rudely  broken  up ;  their  persons  were  subjected  to  disgraceful  indignities ;  many 
were  plunged  into  prison ;  some  put  to  death  on  the  scaffold.  Nevertheless,  their 
principles  spread. 

In  1682,  TTm.  Penn,  with  a  large  number  of  Friends,  from  England,  settled  in 
Pennsylvania,  at  which  time  meetings  were  established  along  the  Atlantic  provinces, 
from  Boston  to  North  Carolina,  To-day,  the  largest  body  of  Friends  is  in  the  United 
States. 

The  illustrious  founder  of  the  denomination,  George  Fox,  early  saw  the  necessity 
of  an  organised  system,  and  provided  for  it  by  establishing  meetings  for  discipline. 

The  discipline  established  comprises  four  grades  of  meetings,  connected  with  and 
dependent  upon  each  other,  namely — preparative,  monthly,  quarterly,  and  yearly. 
Preparative  meetings  receive  and  prepare  the  business  for  the  monthly  meetings. 
Monthly  meetings  are  composed  of  one  or  more  preparative  meetings,  and  rank  next 
in  order  a^ove  them ;  in  these,  too,  the  executive  department  of  the  discipline  is 
chiefly  lodged.  Quarterly  meetings  consist  of  several  monthly  meetings,  over  which 
they  exercise  a  supervisory  care,  examine  into  their  condition,  and  advise  or  assist 
them  as  occasion  may  require.  The  yearly  meeting  includes  the  whole,  possesses 
exclusively  the  legislative  power,  and  investigates  the  state  of  the  whole  body,  which 
j£  brought  before  it  by  answers  to  inquiries  addressed  to  the  subordinate  meetings, 


102  JLMEBICAS  christian  record.       t 

In  each  preparative  meeting  are  usually  two  or  more  of  each  sex,  as  overseers  of 
the  flock,  whose  duty  it  is  to  take  cognizance  of  improper  conduct  in  the  members, 
and  endeavor  by  tenderness  and  affection  to  bring  offenders  to  such  a  sense  of  their 
fault  as  may  lead  to  sincere  repentance  and  amendment.  Violations  of  discipline  by 
members  are  reported  by  the  overseers  to  the  preparative  meetings ;  from  thence,  if 
necessary,  to  the  monthly  meeting,  which  appoints  a  committee  to  convince  and  re- 
claim the  delinquent,  when,  if  this  desirable  result  is  not  produced,  a  minute  is  made 
declaring  the  meeting  in  disunity  with  his  conduct  and  with  him,  until  he  is  brought 
to  a  sense  of  his  error  and  condemns  it  in  a  satisfactory  manner.  From  the  decision 
of  a  monthly  meeting,  the  disowned  may  appeal  to  the  quarterly  meeting,  when, 
if  that  also  condemns  him,  he  may  carry  his  case  to  the  yearly  meeting,  whose  de- 
cision is  final. 

There  are  also  distinct  meetings  for  the  care  and  help  of  the  ministry,  composed  of 
ministers  and  elders,  the  latter  being  prudent  and  solid  members,  specially  chosen  for 
those  qualities  to  watch  over  the  ministers  for  their  good,  and  to  advise  them  as 
circumstances  may  require.  At  these  meetings  both  sexes  meet  together.  They  are 
calied  meetings  of  ministers  and  elders,  and  are  divided  into  preparative,  quarterly, 
and  yearly. 

Yearly  meetings  are  held  at  Newport,  R  I,.  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Baltimore, 
Cedar  Creek  and  Summerton,  alternately,  Va.,  New  Garden,  N.  C,  Mount  Pleasant, 
J.,  and  Richmond,  Ind. 

Peculiarities. — Friends  believe  the  gospel  should  be  preached  without  money  and 
without  price.  Where  a  minister  believes  himself  called  to  religious  service  abroad, 
the  expense  of  which  is  beyond  his  means,  if  his  brethren  unite  with  his  engaging  in 
it  and  set  him  at  liberty  therefor,  the  meeting  he  belongs  to  is  required  to  see  that  he 
is  not  hindred  for  want  of  pecuniary  means. 

They  believe  that  war  is  at  variance  with  the  spirit  of  the  gospel,  which  breathes 
peace  on  earth  and  good  will  to  men.  They  receive,  in  their  full  and  literal  signifi- 
cation, the  commands  of  Christ,  "  I  say  unto  you  that  you  resist  not  evil,  but  who- 
soever shall  smite  thee  on  thy  right  cheek,  turn  to  him  the  other  also'' ;  and  "  I  say 
unto  you,. love  your  enemies;  bless  them  that  curse  you,  do  good  to  them  that  hate 
you,  and  pray  for  them  that  despitefully  use  you  and  persecute  you,  that  ye  may  be 
the  children  of  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven."  They  consider  these  binding  on 
every  disciple  of  Christ,  and  that  the  observance  of  them  would  eradicate  from  the 
human  heart  all  those  malevolent  passions  which  engender  strife  and  warfare. 

They  believe  not  in  oaths,  and,  when  called  upon  to  testify,  simply  affirm.  They 
are  governed  by  the  following  passages — "  Swear  not  at  all ;  "  "  But,  above  all  things, 
my  brethren,  swear  not — neither  by  heaven,  neither  by  the  earth,  neither  by  any 
other  oath ;  but  let  your  yea  be  yea,  and  your  nay  nay,  lest  ye  fall  into  condemna- 
tion."    And  therefore,  they  refuse,  either  to  administer  or  to  take  an  oath. 

They  believe  not  in  public  fasts,  feasts,  or  holy  days,  set  up  by  the  will  of  man. 
They  believe  that  the  only  fast,  men  are  called  to  is  a  continued  fasting  from  sin  and 
everything  which  would  unfit  the  soul  from  being  the  temple  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

They  believe  no  one  day  should  be  kept  holier  than  another,  but  that  every  day  is 
to  be  kept  alike  holy ;  and,  therefore,  they  do  not  pay  a  particular  reverence  to  the  * 
first  or  seventh  day  of  the  week ;  but  as  it  is  necessary  some  day  should  be  set 
apart  to  meet  together  for  the  purpose  of  waiting  upon  God.  and  as  it  is  -fit  that  at 
some  times  men  should  be  freed  from  their  outward  affairs,  and  reasonable  and  just 
that  servants  and  beasts  should  have  some  time  allowed  them  to  rest  from  their  labor, 
and  as  it  appears  the  primitive  Christians  used  the  first  day  of  the  week  for  these 
purposes,  Friends,  therefore,  observe  the  first  day  as  a  season  of  cessation  from  all 
unnecessary  labor,  for  religious  retirement,  and  waiting  upon  God ;  yet  not  so  a3  to 
prevent  them  from  meeting  on  other  days  of  the  week  for  the  same  purpose. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  103 

They  believe  holding  the  human  species  in  slavery  to  be  at  -war  with  the  spirit  of 
the  Christian  religion,  and  therefore  will  neither  practice  it  nor  give  it  countenance. 

They  believe  the  making,  vending,  and  drinking  of  ardent  spirits  to  be  opposed  to 
the  spirit  of  the  Gospel,  and  therefore  abstain  from  having  to  do  with  intoxicating 
liquor  in  any  manner. 

They  believe  magistracy  or  civil  government  to  be  ordained  of  God  for  the  punish- 
ment of  evil  doers  and  the  benefit  of  the  well-disposed.  They  feel  restrained  by  the 
pacific  principles  of  the  Christian  religion  from  joining  in  any  warlike  measures  to 
pull  down,  set  up,  or  defend  any  particular  government,  and  consider  it  a  duty  to 
live  peaceably  under  whatever  form  of  government  it  shall  please  divine  providence 
to  permit  to  set  up  over  them  ;  to  obey  the  laws,  so  far  as  they  do  not  violate  their 
conscience ;  and,  where  a  compliance  would  infringe  on  their  religious  scruples,  to 
endure  patiently  the  penalties  imposed  upon  them. 

They  will  not  accept  any  public  office  which  exposes  them  to  the  danger  of  violat- 
ing their  testimony  as  Christians  against  war,  oaths,  &c.,  nor  engage  in  party  heats 
or  disputes,  believing  that  the  work  to  which  they  are  particuliarly  called  is  the  labor- 
ing for  the  spread  of  the  peaceful  reign  of  the  Messiah. 

They  will  not  go  to  law  till  the  last  extremity,  settling  their  disputes,  when  pos- 
sible, through  the  arbitration  of  their  brethren;  but  when  peculiar  circumstances 
render  this  impracticable  or  unsafe,  and  liberty  is  obtained  to  bring  the  matter  into 
court,  they  regard  it  as  a  duty  to  conduct  themselves  with  moderation  and  forbear- 
ance, and  in  their  whole  demeanor  to  evince  that  they  are  under  the  government  of 
a  divine  principle,  and  that  nothing  but  necessity  brings  them  before  court. 

They  believe  in  a  simple  mode  of  living,  free  from  needless  care  and  expense ;  in 
moderation  in  the  pursuit  of  business ;  in  discountenancing  theatres,  horse  races,  and 
all  other  vain  and  unprofitable  amusements ;  and  in  daily  living  in  the  fear  of  God, 
that  they  may  show  forth  a  conduct  and  conversation  accordant  with  their  Christian 
profession,  and  adorn  the  doctrine  of  the  Saviour  in  all  things. 

They  believe  that  outward  rites  and  ceremonies  have  no  place  under  the  Christian 
dispensation,  which  they  regard  as  a  purely  spiritual  administration.  They,  there- 
fore, believe  that  spiritual  communion  cannot  be  maintained  by  the  use  of  the  out- 
ward elements  of  bread  #nd  wine. 

They  behove  that  outward  show  of  rejoicing,  mourning,  and  public  diversions,  are 
incompatible  with  the  simplicity,  gravity,  and  dignity  that  should  adorn  the  Chris- 
tian character,  and  do  not  follow  or  countenance  them. 

They  believe  ministerial  gifts  are  given  to  both  men  and  women,  and  are  both  one 
in  Christ.   • 

They  believe  births  and  burials  should  be  unaccompanied  by  rites  and  ceremonies. 
At  burials,  a  solemn  pause  is  made,  to  afford  an  opportunity  to  those  concerned  to 
communicate  their  exercises. 

They  believe  marriage  to  be  a  right  with  which  ministers  have  nothing  to  do. 
Parties  who  desire  and  design  to  marry,  inform  the  monthly  meeting  of  their  inten- 
tion, when  a  committee  of  both  sexes  is  appointed  to  inquire  if  the  parties  are  clear 
from  other  similar  engagements,  and  the  parents  or  guardians  have  consented.  If 
these  aro  found  to  be  so,  the  monthly  meeting  gives  its  consent,  and  the  marriage  is 
performed,  either  at  a  public  meeting  for  worship,  or  a  private  meeting  at  the  house 
of  one  of  the  parties,  towards  the  close  of  which  they  stand  up  and  solemnly  take 
each  other  for  husband  and  wife.  The  certificate  is  then  signed,  read,  and  attested. 
A  committee,  appointed  by  the  monthly  meeting,  attends  the  marriage,  to  see  that  it 
be  performed  orderly,  and  to  deliver  the  certificate  to  the  recorder  of  the  meeting, 
who  keeps  a  record  of  the  births,  marriages  and  burials  of  all  its  members. 

At  their  meetings,  they  decide  no  question  by  vote,  but  by  what  appears  to  be  the 
■ense  of  the  meeting.     In  questions  involving  a  difference  of  sentiment,  personal  and 


164  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

censorious  remarks  are  discouraged,  aud  care  is  taken  to  exercise  a  spirit  of  condes- 
cension and  brotherly  love.  Thus  it  often  happens  that  deference  to  the  views  and 
feelings  of  a  few  consistent  members  prevent  the  body  from  adopting  a  measure  in 
which  there  is  otherwise  great  unanimity. 

They  refrain  from  the  use  of  the  plural  number  to  a  single  person,  and  of  compli- 
ments in  intercourse  with  men,  as  only  having  their  origin  in  flattery,  and  tending  to 
nourish  a  principle  subversive  of  that  humility  and  meekness  which  ought  to  charac- 
terise the  disciples  of  Christ. 

They  decline,  for  the  same  reason,  to  bend  the  knee  to  any  man,  of  remove  their 
hat  in  any  civil  court  or  meetiug. 

They  decline,  also,  to  give  the  common  names  to  months  and  days,  as  these, 
bestowed  upon  them  in  honor  of  the  heroes  and  false  gods  of  antiquity,  originated  in 
superstition  and  idolatry. 

DOCTRINAL  BELIEF,  OR  TESTIMONIES. 

1.  God. — We  believe  in  one  only  wise,  omnipotent  and  everlasting  God,  the 
creator  and  upholder  of  all  things,  visible  and  invisible ;  and  in  one  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  by  whom  are  all  things,  the  mediator  between  God  and  man;  and  in  the 
Holy  Spirit,  which  proceedeth  from  the  Father  and  the  Son — one  God,  blessed  for 
ever. 

2.  Jesus  Christ. — "We  believe  in  Jesus  Christ,  the  beloved  and  only  begotten  Son 
of  God,  who  was  conceived  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary ;  in 
whom  is  forgiveness  of  sins ;  who  is  the  express  image  of  the  invisible  God,  the  first 
born  of  every  creature,  by  whom  all  things  were  created  that  are  in  heaven  or  in 
earth,  visible  and  invisible,  whether  they  be  thrones,  dominions,  principalities,  or 
powers ;  that  he  was  made  a  sacrifice  for  sin,  who  knew  no  sin,  neither  was  guile 
found  in  his  mouth ;  that  he  was  crucified  for  mankind,  in  the  flesh,  without  the 
gates  of  Jerusalem ;  that  he  was  buried  and  rose  again  the  third  day,  by  the  power 
of  the  Father,  for  our  justification,  and  ascended  up  into  heaven,  and  now  sitteth  at 
the  right  hand  of  the  Father,  our  holy  mediator,  advocate,  and  intercessor ;  that  he 
alone  is  the  redeemer  and  savior  of  man,  the  captain  of  salvation,  who  saves  from 
sin  as  well  as  from  hell  and  the  wrath  to  come,  and  destroys  the  works  of  the  devil ; 
that  he  is  the  seed  of  the  woman  that  bruises  the  serpent's  head,  even  Christ  Jesus, 
the  Alpha  and  Omega,  the  first  and  the  last ;  that  he  is  our  wisdom,  righteousness, 
justification  and  redemption  ;  neither  is  there  salvation  in  any  other,  for  there  is  no 
other  name  under  heaven,  given  among  men,  whereby  we  may  be  saved ;  that  he  is 
both  true  God  and  perfect  man  ;  that  his  sacrifice  of  himself  upon  the  cross  was  a 
propitiation  and  atonement  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world  ;  and  that  the  remission 
of  sins  which  any  partake  of,  is  only  in,  and  by  virtue  of,  that  most  satisfactory  sac- 
rifice, and  no  otherwise. 

3.  The  Holy  Spirit. — We  believe  the  Holy  Spirit  is  that  Comforter  whom  Christ 
declared  he  would  send  in  his  name,  to  lead  and  guide  his  followers  into  all  truth,  to 
teach  them  all  things,  and  to  bring  all  things  to  their  remembrance;  that  a  manifesta- 
tion of  this  Spirit  is  given  to  every  man  to  profit  withal;  that  it  convicts  of  sin,  and, 
as  followed,  gives  power  to  the  soul  to  overcome  it:  that  it  opens  to  the  mind  the 
mysteries  of  salvation,  enables  it  savingly  to  understand  the  truths  recorded  in  the 
Holy  Scriptures,  and  gives  it  the  living,  practical,  heartfelt  experience  of  those  things 
that  pertain  to  its  everlasting  welfare ;  that  the  saving  knowledge  of  God  and  Christ 
cannot  be  attained  in  no  other  way  than  by  the  revelation  of  the  Spirit. 

4.  The  Fall  of  Man. — We  believe  that  man  was  created  in  the  image  of  God, 
capable  of  understanding  the  divine  law,  and  of  holding  communion  with  his  maker; 
that  through  transgression,  he  fell  from  this  blessed  state  and  lost  the  heavenly  im- 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  105 

age  ;  that  his  posterity  came  into  the  world  in  the  image  of  the  earthly  man ;  and, 
until  renewed  by  the  quickening  and  regenerating  power  of  the  heavenly  man, 
Christ  Jesus,  manifested  in  the  soul,  they  are  fallen,  degenerated  and  dead  to  tho 
divine  life  in  which  Adam  originally  stood,  and  are  subject  to  the  power,  nature,  and 
seed  of  the  serpent,  and  not  only  their  words  and  deeds,  but  their  imaginations,  are 
evil  perpetually  in  the  sight  of  God ;  that  man  therefore,  while  in  this  state,  can 
know  nothing  aright  concerning  God,  and  until  he  is  disjoined  from  this  evil  seed, 
and  united  to  the  divine  light,  Christ  Jesus,  his  thoughts  and  conceptions  of  spiritual 
things  are  unprofitable  to  himself  and  to  others.  But  while  man  is  in  a  lost  and 
undone  condition  by  reason  of  the  fall,  he  is  not  punishable  for  Adam's  sin,  and  does 
not  partake  of  his  guilt,  until  he  makes  it  his  own  by  transgressing  the  divine  law. 

5.  Salvation. — We  believe  that  God,  who,  out  of  his  infinite  love,  sent  his  Son, 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  into  the  world  to  taste  death  for  every  man,  hath  granted  to 
all  men,  of  every  nation  and  country,  a  time  of  visitation  when  it  is  possible  for  them 
to  partake  of  the  benefits  of  Christ's  death,  and  be  saved :  that  for  this  end  he  hath 
communicated  to  every  man  a  measure  of  the  light  of  his  own  Son,  a  measure  of 
grace  or  the  Holy  Spirit,  by  which  he  invites,  exhorts  and  strives  with  every  man  to 
save  him ;  that  this  light  or  grace,  as  it  is  received,  and  not  resisted,  works  the  sal- 
vation of  all,  even  of  those  ignorant  of  Adam's  fall,  and  of  the  death  and  sufferings 
of  Christ ;  both  by  bringing  them  to  a  sense  of  their  own  misery,  and  to  be  sharers 
of  the  sufferings  of  Christ,  inwardly;  and  by  making  them  partakers  of  his  resur- 
rection, in  becoming  holy,  pure  and  righteous,  and  recovered  out  of  their  sins.  By 
which  also  are  saved  they  that  have  the  knowledge  of  Christ  outwardly,  in  that  it 
opens  their  understanding  rightly  to  use  and  apply  the  things  delivered  in  the  Scrip- 
tures ;  that  this  Holy  Spirit  or  light  of  Christ  maybe  resisted  and  rejected  ;  in  which, 
then,  God  is  resisted  and  pressed  down,  and  Christ  again  crucified  and  put  to  open 
shame  ;  and  to  those  who  thus  resist  and  refuse  him,  he  becomes  their  condemna- 
tion ;  that  as  many  as  resist  not  the  light  of  Christ  Jesus;  but  receive  and  walk  there- 
in, it  becomes  in  them  a  holy,  pure  and  spiritual  birth,  bringing  forth  holiness,  right- 
eousness and  purity,  and  all  those  other  blessed  fruits  which  are  acceptable  to  God ; 
that  by  this  holy  birth,  viz.  :  Jesus  Christ  formed  within  us,  and  working  his  works 
in  us,  we  are  sanctified  and  justified  in  the  sight  of  God — as  says  the  A.postle,  "  But 
ye  are  washed,  but  ye  are  sanctified,  but  ye  are  justified,  in  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Jesus,  and  by  the  Spirit  of  our  God."  Therefore,  it  is  not  by  our  works  wrought  in 
our  will,  nor  yet  by  good  works  considered  as  of  themselves,  that  we  are  justified, 
but  by  Christ,  who  is  both  the  gift  and  the  giver,  and  the  cause  producing  the  effects 
in  us. 

6.  The  Resurrection. — We  believe  there  will  be  a  resurrection,  both  of  the  right- 
eous and  the  wicked ;  the  one  to  eternal  life  and  blessedness,  and  the  other  to  ever- 
lasting misery  and  torment ;  that  God  will  judge  the  world  by  that  Man  whom  he 
hath  ordained,  even  Christ  Jesus  the  Lord,  who  will  render  unto  every  man  accord- 
ing to  his  works. 

7.  The  Holy  Scriptures. — We  believe  the  Holy  Scriptures  to  be  the  words  of  God, 
written  by  holy  men  as  they  were  moved  by  the  Holy  Ghost ;  that  they  contain  all 
the  fundamental  doctrines  and  principles  relating  to  eternal  life  and  salvation ;  that 
whatsoever  doctrine  or  practice  is  contrary  to  them,  is  to  be  rejected  as  false  and 
erroneous ;  that  they  are  a  declaration  of  the  mind  and  will  of  God,  in  and  to  the 
several  ages  in  which  they  were  written,  and  are  obligatory  on  us,  and  are  to  be 
read,  believed,  and  fulfilled,  by  the  assistance  of  divine  grace ;  that  they  were  writ- 
ten for  our  learning,  that  we,  through  patience  and  comfort  of  the  Scriptures,  might 
have  hope :  and  that  they  are  able  to  make  wise  unto  salvation,  through  faith  in 
Christ  Jesus.  [Friends  do  not  call  the  Scriptures  the  Word  of  God,  believing  that 
epithet  peculiarly  applicable  only  to  the  Lord  Jesus.] 


106  -AMEBICASC   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

8.  Baptism. — We  believe  Christian  baptism  is  inward  and  spiritual ;  that  it  is  not 
the  putting  away  the  filth  of  the  flesh,  bur  the  answer  of  a  true  conscience  towards 
God,  by  the  resurrection  of  Jesus  Christ ;  that  this  answer  of  a  good  conscience  can 
be  produced  only  by  the  purifying  operation  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  transforming  and 
renewing  the  heart,  and  bringing  the  will  into  conformity  to  the  divine  will;  that 
true  Christians  are  baptized  by  one  spirit  into  one  body ;  that  as  many  as  are  bap- 
tized into  Christ,  have  put  on  Christ ;  and  that,  if  any  man  be  in  Christ,  he  is  a  new 
creature :  old  things  are  passed  away,  behold  all  things  are  become  new,  and  all 
things  of  God. 

9.  The  Lord's  Supper. — We  believe  that  communion  with  the  body  and  blood  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  is  inward  and  spiritual ;  that  it  is  a  real  participation  of  his 
divine  nature  through  faith  in  him  and  obedience  to  the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost  by 
which  the  soul  is  enabled  daily  to  feed  upon  the  flesh  and  blood  of  our  crucified  and 
risen  Lord,  and  is  thus  nourished  aud  strengthened ;  that  the  breaking  of  bread  and 
drinking  of  wine  by  our  Saviour  with  his  disciples  was  figurative  of  this  communion  ; 
the  true  supper  being  that  set  forth  in  the  Revelations — "  Behold  I  stand  at  the  door 
and  knock ;  if  any  man  hear  my  voice  and  open  the  door,  I  will  come  in  to  him  and 
sup  with  him.  and  he  with  me." 

10.  Worship. — We  believe  that  the  worship  of  God  must  be  in  spirit  and  in  truth; 
that  a  man  can  do  nothing  to  the  glory  of  God  and  his  own  salvation  without  the 
immediate  assis.ance  of  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  in  the  performance  of  this,  the  highest 
act  of  which  he  is  capable,  the  aid  of  the  Holy  Spirit  is  specially  necessary ;  that 
intercourse  between  the  soul  and  its  Creator  is  not  dependent  upon  or  necessarily 
connected  with  any  thing  which  one  man  can  do  for  another ;  and  that  they  only 
truly  worship  God  that  worship  him  in  spirit  and  in  truth,  rejoice  in  Christ  Jesus, 
aud  have  no  confidence  in  the  flesh.  [Friends  sit  down  in  silence  to  worship  God ; 
that  each  may  gather  inwardly  the  gilt  of  divine  grace  and  experience  ability  rever- 
ently to  wait  upon  the  Father  and  to  offer  unto  him,  through  Christ  Jesus  the  holy 
Mediator,  a  sacrifice  well  pleasing  in  his  sight,  whether  it  be  silent  mental  adoration, 
the  secret  breathing  of  the  soul  unto  him,  the  public  ministry  of  the  Gospel,  or  vocal 
prayer  or  thanksgiving.] 

11.  TJie  Ministry. — We  believe  that  the  authority  and  qualification  for  the  minis- 
try of  the  gospel,  are  the  special  gift  of  Christ  Jesus,  the  only  Head  of  the  Church, 
and  bestowed  both  upon  men  and  women,  without  distinction  of  rank,  talent,  or 
learning,  and  must  be  received  immediately  from  him  through  the  revelation  of  his 
Spirit  in  the  heart ;  that  the  gospel  is  to  be  preached  without  money  and  without 
price  ;  that  this  authority  cannot  be  given  by  any  human  power,  ordination,  license, 
or  permission,  and  only  proceeds  from  the  Great  Head  of  the  Church  through  the 
Holy  Spirit,  the  one  and  only  ordainer  and  giver  of  all  spiritual  calls  and  ministerial 
gifts. 


FRIENDS,  OR,  HICKSITES. 

In  the  first  quarter  of  the  present  century,  Elias  Hicks,  the  founder  of  this  branch 
of  the  denomination  of  Friends,  becoming  persuaded  of  the  erroneousness  of  certain 
doctrines  entertained  by  the  Society  of  Friends,  of  which  he  was  himself  a  member, 
and  deeming  it  a  duty  owing  alike  to  Truth,  Humanity,  and  himself,  to  speak  his 
convictions  bcldly,  attacked  those  doctrines  with  all  the  vigor  of  a  strong  mind  and 
resolute  will.     At  first,  he  found  but  little  sympathy  and  few  willing  hearers.     By 


AMERICAN*   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  lOt 

degrees,  however,  the  daring  boldness  of  his  views,  the  ruggedness  of  his  logic,  and 
the  vigor  with  which  he  repelled  assailants,  began  to  attract  attention  and  to  win 
hearers  over  to  his  opinions,  which,  proclaimed  without  faltering,  in  public  and  pri- 
vate, for  years,  at  length  found  large  numbers  of  sympathisers,  who,  with  Mr.  Hicks 
himself,  unable  to  impress  their  convictions  upon  the  denomination  at  large,  in  1827, 
seceded  from  that  body,  and  set  up  a  distinct  and  independent  association,  but  still 
holding  to  the  name  of  Friends.  In  this  secession  were  members  from  the  yearly 
meetings  of  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Baltimore,  Ohio,  Indiana  and  New  England. 

In  peculiarities,  usages,  and  discipline,  they  differ  not  from  their  orthodox  brethren, 
between  whom  and  themselves  the  points  of  difference  are  doctrinal  only.  A  friendly 
correspondence  is  held  between  the  yearly  meetings  of  the  two  bodies,  both  of  which, 
as  already  stated,  claim  the  appellation  of  Friends. 

DOCTRINES,    OR,    TESTIMONIES. 

1.  The  Scriptures. — "We  believe  that  the  Scriptures  have  proceeded  from  the  reve- 
lations of  the  Spirit  of  God  to  the  saints  ;  and  this  belief  is  founded  on  evidence  fur- 
nished by  the  same  Spirit  to  our  minds.  "We  experience  them  to  be  profitable  for 
doctrine,  for  correction,  for  reproof,  and  for  instruction  in  righteousness.  But  as  they 
are  a  declaration  from  the  fountain  only,  and  not  the  fountain  itself,  they  bear  the 
same  inscription  as  the  sun-dial — "  useless,  or  a  dead  letter,  without  light;"  because 
the  right  interpretation  of  them,  and  consequently  their  usefulness,  depend  on  the 
assurance  and  evidence  of  the  same  Spirit  by  which  they  were  dictated,  given  to  the 
mind  of  the  reader.  For,  although  we  believe  we  may  be  helped  and  strengthened 
by  outward  means,  such  as  the  Scriptures,  and  an  authorised  Gospel  ministry,  yet, 
it  is  only  by  the  Spirit  that  we  can  come  to  the  true  knowledge  of  God.  and  be  led 
into  all  truth.  Under  these  several  considerations,  we  cannot  accept  these  writings 
as  the  foundation  and  ground  of  all  religious  knowledge,  nor  as  the  primary  ride  of 
faith  and  practice  ;  since  these  high  attributes  belong  to  the  Divine  Spirit  alone,  by 
which  the  Scriptures  themselves  are  tested.  Neither  do  we  confound  cause  and 
effect  by  styling  them  the  Word  of  God,  which  title  belongs  to  Christ  alone,  the  foun- 
tain from  which  they  proceeded. 

The  Holy  Spirit,  or  the  Light  of  Christ  Within. — "We  believe  a  knowledge  of  the 
Gospel  to  be  founded  on  immediate  revelation  to  the  believer.  Being  the  antitype  of 
the  legal  dispensation,  it  is  spiritual  in  its  author,  and  as  the  soul  which  it  purifies 
and  redeems.  Under  the  Gospel  dispensation,  the  temple,  altar,  sacrifices,  the  flesh 
and  blood,  water  and  fire,  cleansing  and  worship,  are  all  spiritual.  Justified  by  the 
second  Adam,  the  Gospel  restores  to  us  the  privileges  and  blessings  enjoyed  by  the 
first ;  the  same  pure,  spiritual  worship,  the  same  union  and  communion  with  our 
Maker.  The  message  we  have  received  is  the  same  given  to  the  Apostles,  that  "  God 
is  light,  and  in  him  there  is  no  darkness  at  all."  God  hath  given  to  every  man  com- 
ing into  the  world  and  placed  within  him,  a  measure  or  manifestation  of  this  Divine 
light,  grace,  or  spirit,  which,  if  obeyed,  is  also  sufficient  to  redeem  or  save  him. 

We  believe  repentance,  regeneration,  and  final  redemption  to  come  from  this  light, 
and  to  be  one,  even  as  God  is  one,  and  his  purpose  one,  and  the  same  in  all.  It  is 
called  light  because  it  enables  us  to  distinguish  with  indubitable  clearness,  all  that 
concerns  us  in  the  works  of  salvation.  It  is  called  grace,  and  grace  of  God,  because 
it  is  freely  bestowed  on  us  by  his  bounty  and  enduring  love.  It  is  called  truth,  as 
being  the  substance  of  all  types  and  shadows,  and  imparting  to  man  a  true  sense  and 
view  of  his  condition,  as  it  is  in  the  Divine  sight.  It  is  called  "  Christ,"  "  Christ 
within,"  "the  hope  of  glory,"  "the  kingdom  of  God  within,"  "the  word  of  God," 
"a  manifestation  of  the  Spirit,  given  to  every  man  to  profit  withal,"  "the  seed,"  "a 
still  small  voice."  because  most  certainlv  heard  in  a  state  of  retirement,  but  drowned

by  the  excitement  of  the  passions,  the  cravings  of  the  imagination,  and  the  eager 
pursuit  of  worldly  objects.  ';  And  thine  ear  shall  hear  a  word  behind  thee  saying, 
'  This  is  the  way,  walk  ye  in  it,  when  ye  turn  to  the  right  hand  and  when  ye  turn  to 
the  left.'  " 

It  is  compared  to  "  a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  the  smallest  of  seeds,"  being  at  first 
little  in  appearance ;  but,  as  it  is  obeyed,  growing  and  extending,  until  it  occupies  the 
whole  ground  of  the  heart,  and  thus  expands  into,  and  sets  up  the  kingdom  of  God 
in  the  soul.  For  the  like  reason,  it  is  compared  to  "  a  little  leaven,  which  a  woman 
took  and  hid  in  three  measures  of  meal,  until  the  whole  was  leavened,"  or  brought 
into  its  own  nature. 

This  unspeakable  gift  speaks  to  every  man's  condition,  supplies  all  his  natural  need, 
and  is  a  present  and  all  sufficient  help  in  every  emergency  and  trial.  To  the  obedient, 
it  proves  "a  comforter,"  under  temptation  a  (i  monitor,"  and  a  "swift  witness" 
against  the  transgressor.  It  is  a  "  quickening  spirit"  to  rouse  the  indifferent ;  "  like  a 
refiner's  fire,  and  like  fuller's  soap,  purifying  the  unclean;"  a  "  hammer"  to  the  heart 
of  the  obdurate  sinner  ;  and  in  all,  an  infallible  teacher  and  guide  to  virtue  and 
holiness. 

As  there  are  diversities  of  operations  and  administrations,  so  also  there  are  diver- 
sities of  gifts  bestowed  on  the  members  of  the  body:  "  The  Spirit  dividing  to  every 
man  severally  as  he  will,"  that  every  office  and  service  in  the  church  militant  may  be 
performed,  to  preserve  its  health,  strength  and  purity.  And  thus,  by  one  and  the 
"  self-same  Spirit,"  "we  are  all  baptised  into  one  body,  whether  Jews  or  Gentiles, 
whether  bond  or  free ;  and  all  are  made  to  drink  into  one  spirit." 

3.  Jesus  Christ. — We  believe  in  the  divinity  of  Christ — not  of  the  outward  body, 
but  of  the  spirit  which  dwelleth  in  it — a  divinity  not  self-existing  and  independent, 
but  derived  from  the  Father,  being  the  Holy  Spirit,  or  God  in  Christ.  "The  Son  can 
do  nothing  of  himself;"  "I  can,  of  mine  own  self,  do  nothing;"  "The  Father  that 
dwelleth  in  me,  he  doeth  the  work;  "  As  my  Father  hath  taught  me,  I  speak  these 
things;"  "Even  as  the  Father  said  unto  me,  so  do  I  speak," 

[They  reject  the  common  doctrines  of  the  Trinity  and  Satisfaction,  as  contrary  to 
reason  and  revelation. 

They  reject  the  doctrine  of  "imputed  righteousness,"  as  generally  believed.] 

4.  Imputed  Righteousness. — We  believe  there  must  be  a  true  righteousness  of  heart 
and  life,  wrought  in  us  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  or  Christ  within ;  in  which  work  we  im- 
pute all  to  him,  for  of  ourselves  we  can  do  nothing. 

5.  The  Fall. — We  do  not  believe  that  the  sins  of  Adam  are,  in  any  sense,  imputed 
to  his  posterity ;  but  we  do  believe"  that  no  one  incurs  the  guilt  of  sin,  until  he  trans- 
gresses the  law  of  God  in  his  own  person.  In  that  fallen  state,  the  love  and  mercy 
of  God  are  ever  extended  for  his  regeneration  and  redemption.  God  so  loved  the 
world,  that  he  sent  his  only  begotten  Son  into  the  world,  in  that  prepared  body,  under 
the  former  dispensation,  for  the  salvation  of  men.  And  it  is  through  the  same  re- 
deeming love,  and  for  the  same  purpose,  that,  under  the  new  covenant,  he  now  sends 
the  Spirit  of  his  Son  into  our  hearts,  a  mediator  and  intercessor,  to  reconcile  us,  and 
render  us  obedient  to  the  holy  will  and  righteous  law  of  God.  We  believe  that  al/ 
that  is  to  be  savingly  known  of  God,  is  made  manifest  or  revealed  by  his  Spirit.  f

GERMAN  REFORMED  CHURCH. 


The  founder  of  the  German  Reformed  Church  was  Ulric  Zwtngli,  of  Wildhaus, 
Switzerland,  where  he  was  born  January  1st,  1484.  The  church  had  its  first  repre- 
sentation in  the  United  States  in  emigrants  from  Germany  and  Switzerland,  who,  in 
1720,  settled  in  eastern  Pennsylvania.  Early  settlements  were  made  also  in  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Maryland,  Virginia,  and  the  Carolinas. 

Her  doctrinal  system,  derived  from  Germany  and  Switzerland,  is  that  of  the  Heidel- 
berg Catechism ;  her  ecclesiastical  polity  is  modelled  after  that  of  the  Dutch  Reformed 
Church,  that  is  to  say,  Presbyterian. 

All  ordained  ministers  are  equal  in  rank  and  authority.  Its  church  officers  are 
three — ministers,  elders,  and  deacons;  its  ecclesiastical  courts  three — consistories, 
classes,  and  synods.  Each  congregation  is  governed  by  its  consistory  or  vestry, 
composed  of  elders  and  deacons,  and  of  which  the  pastor  may  or  may  not  be  a 
member. 

The  clergy,  within  certain  local  bounds,  constitute  a  classis,  which  must  consist 
of  at  least  three  ministers. 

A  classis  meets  statedly  once  a  year,  but  may  be  called  oftener  by  its  presiding 
officer,  if  circumstances  require  it.  Every  pastoral  charge  is  entitled  to  a  lay  dele- 
gate, who  must  be  an  elder,  and  has  the  same  right  to  deliberate  and  vote  as  the 
clerical  member.  A  majority  of  the  whole  number,  of  which  at  least  one-half  must 
be  ministers,  constitutes  a  quorum,  and  every  question  is  decided  by  a  majority  of 
the  number  assembled.     Its  presiding  officer  is  elected  annually. 

The  synod  meets,  statedly,  once  a  year,  but  may  be  called  oftener  by  the  presiding 
officer,  also  elected  annually.  It  is  composed  of  clerical  and  lay  delegates,  appointed 
by  the  classis.  A  classis  consisting  of  not  more  than  six  ministers,  is  entitled  to 
send  one  minister  and  one  lay  delegate  ;  a  classis  having  more  than  six,  and  not  over 
twelve,  ministers,  may  be  represented  by  two  ministers  and  two  lay  delegates,  and 
in  the  same  ratio  for  any  larger  number. 

A  general  convention  of  all  the  ministers  and  lay  delegates  of  the  whole  church 
can  be  authorised  by  an  act  of  synod,  but  not  otherwise. 

An  appeal  can  be  taken  from  the  consistory  to  the  classis,  and  from  the  classis  to 
the  synod,  whose  decision  is  final. 

The  church  is  divided  into  two  bodies — the  Eastern  and  "Western  Synods,  which 
niaintain  a  friendly  correspondence,  but  are  wholly  independent  of  each  other. 

The  Eastern  Synod,  the  original  body,  has  a  theological  seminary,  a  grammar 
school,  and  a  college  (Marshall),  all  located  at  Mercersburg,  Pa.  It  has  also  a  Board 
of  Foreign  Missions,  a  Board  of  Domestic  Missions,  and  a  Board  of  Education. 

The  denomination  has  also,  under  its  patronage  at  Chambersburg,  Pa.,  a  book 
establishment,  whence,  in  addition  to  other  publications,  issue  weekly  two  periodi- 
cals, the  "German  Reformed  Messenger,"  a  paper  of  large  size,  and  edited  with 
modest  but  signal  ability,  and  the  "Christliche  Zeitschrift,"  for  German  readers. 

The  "Western  Synod,  originally  known  as  the  Synod  of  Ohio,  is  slowly  but  steadily 
extending  in  numbers  and  influence,  and  though  now  very  much  the  smaller  of  the 
two,  is  apparently  destined,  from  the  immense  breadth  of  its  field,  and  the  devotion 
and  energy  of  its  ministers,  eventually  to  become  the  chief  portion  of  her   church. 

The  growth  of  the  church  is  steady  and  healthful,  owing  largely  to  the  system  of- 
educating  her  young  in  her  doctrines.  In  1842,  the  number  of  congregations, 
reported  in  the  Eastern  Synod  was  466,  in  the  Western,  214: — total,  680;  in  1859 
the  Eastern  synod  had  656 ;  the  "Western,  364 — total,  1,020.  (See  Statistics  of  Am-

JEWISH  CHURCH. 

Probably  the  first  Jews  in  America  were  a  few  Spanish  and  Portuguese,  who  set- 
tled in  New  Amsterdam  (New  York),  under  the  Dutch.  How  early  the  first  syna- 
gogue was  built  in  New  York,  we  have  no  date  for  determining.  The  second  was 
constructed  in  1827  ;  there  are  now  20. 

A  few  years  prior  to  the  revolution,  a  congregation  of  considerable  size  assembled 
at  Newport,  R.  I. ;  but  with  the  decline  of  business,  after  the  war,  the  Jewish  popu- 
lation left  it  by  degrees.  The  synagogue  and  burial  ground  still  remain  in  good  or- 
der, a  legacy  haviug  been  left  by  the  son  of  one  of  its  ministers,  Tours,  to  preserve 
them  from  falling  into  decay. 

The  first  congregation  in  Philadelphia  was  organised  in  1780.  There  are  now  6, 
besides  small  congregations  in  the  principal  interior  towns. 

There  are  synagogues  or  congregations  at  Baltimore,  Charleston,  Savannah,  Mobile, 
New  Orleans,  Cincinnati,  St.  Louis,  Cleveland,  Louisville,  Chicago,  Albany,  New 
Haven,  and  Boston  ;  but  their  synagogues  throughout  the  United  States  do  not  ex- 
ceed 48,  while  the  estimated  number  of  their  congregations  is  but  67. 

The  literature  of  the  American  Jews  is  as  yet  limited. 

They  have  a  few  schools,  but  thus  far  none  of  a  high  standard.  They  expect  to 
tell  a  different  story  in  this  respect,  however,  when  their  population  is  sufficient  to 
warrant  a  vigorous  effort. 

They  have  no  ecclesiastical  authorities  in  the  United  States  other  than  the  con- 
gregations themselves.  Each  congregation  makes  its  own  rules  for  its  government, 
and  elects  its  own  minister ;  induction  into  office  being  made  through  his  election, 
which  is  for  a  term  or  during  good  behaviour,  according  to  the  decision  of  the  ma- 
jority. 

Careful  provision  is  made  for  the  poor,  to  prevent  them  from  becoming  a  charge 
to  the  public,  and  from  falling  into  crime  for  want  of  the  means  of  subsistence. 

As  a  people,  though  without  a  native  land  and  scattered  over  every  nation,  they 
are  held  together  by  their  religion. 

Their  service  consists,  principally,  in  reading  the  law  in  their  synagogues,  together 
with  a  variety  of  prayers.  They  go  to  prayers  three  times  a  day.  Their  sabbath  is 
our  Saturday.     Their  services  in  the  United  States  are  in  English. 

They  have  used  no  sacrifices  since  the  destruction  of  the  temple.  Almost  all  modern 
Jews  are  Pharisees. 

They  avoid  all  vain  swearing,  and  do  not  pronounce  any  of  the  names  of  God 
without  necessity.  They  abstain  from  meats  prohibited  by  the  Levitical  Law,  and 
whenever  meat  is  dressed,  it  must  be  by  Jews,  and  after  a  manner  peculiar  to 
themselves. 

In  general,  they  observe  the  same  ceremonies  practised  by  their  ancestors,  in  the 
celebration  of  the  passover.  They  pray  for  the  souls  of  the  dead,  because  they  be- 
lieve in  a  paradise,  where  the  souls  of  good  men  enjoy  the  presence  of  God;  and  in 
a  place  called  purgatory,  where  the  souls  of  the  wicked  are  tormented  with  fire  and 
other  punishments.  They  believe,  that  in  this  place  of  punishment,  some  are  pun- 
ished only  for  a  limited  time,  and  others  for  ever.  They  suppose  no  Jew,  unless 
guilty  of  heresy,  or  certain  crimes  specified  by  the  Rabbins,  shall  remain  in  purga- 
tory over  a  twelvemonth,  and  that  only  a  few  suffer  eternal  punishment. 

They  acknowledge  a  two-fold  law  of  God — a  written  and  an  unwritten  one.  The 
former  is  contained  in  the  Pentateuch ;  the  latter,  they  claim,  was  delivered  by  God 
to  Moses,  and  from  him  handed  down  by  oral  tradition,  and  is  therefore  to  be  received 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD,  HI 

as  of  equal  authority  with  the  former.  They  believe  their  law  is  perpetual  and 
perfect. 

They  deny  the  accomplishment  of  the  prophecies  in  the  person  of  Christ ;  claiming 
that  the  Messiah  is  not  yet  come,  and  that  he  will  make  his  appearance  with  great 
pomp  and  power,  subduing  all  nations  before  him,  and  subjecting  them  to  the 
house  of  Jndah.  The  Messiah  whom  they  expect  is  not  to  be  a  god,  nor  a  part  of 
the  Godhead,  nor  a  son  of  God,  in  any  sense ;  but  simply  a  man  eminently  endowed, 
like  Moses  and  the  prophets  in  the  days  of  the  Bible,  to  work  out  the  will  of  God 
on  earth,  in  all  that  the  prophets  have  foretold  of  him.  In  the  days  of  this  august 
ruler,  the  law,  which  was  at  first  given  as  "an  inheritance  of  the  congregation  of 
Jacob,"  will  become  the  only  standard  of  righteousness,  of  solvation,  for  all  mankind, 
when  will  be  fulfilled  to  its  fullest  extent  the  blessings  conferred  upon  Abraham, 
Isaac,  and  Jacob,  that  "in  their  seed  all  the  families  of  the  earth  should  be  blessed." 
They  believe,  farther,  '  that  the  time  of  tins  great  event  is  only  known  to  the  Creator, 
who  in  his  own  good  time  will  regenerate  the  earth,  remove  the  worship  of  idols, 
banish  all  erroneous  beliefs,  and  establish  his  kingdom  firmly  and  immovably  over 
the  hearts  of  all  sons  of  man,  when  all  will  invoke  Him  in  truth,  and  call  him  God, 
King,  Redeemer,  the  One  who  was,  is,  and  will  be,  for  ever.  That  time  may  be 
distant,  thousands  of  years  removed  ;  but  they  confidently  look  forward  to  its  coming, 
in  the  full  confidence  that  He  who  has  so  miraculously  preserved  his  people  among 
so  many  trials  and  dangers,  is  able  and  willing  to  fulfil  all  He  has  promised,  and 
that  his  power  will  surely  accomplish  what  his  goodness  has  foretold;  and  that  He 
will  not  rest  in  the  fulfilment  of  his  word,  till  all  the  world  shall  acknowledge  his 
power,  aud  ceaseless  incense  ascend  to  His  holy  name,  from  the  rising  of  the  sun 
even  unto  his  settiug;  when  the  altera  of  falsehood  shall  crumble,  and  the  dominion 
of  unbelief  be  swept  from  the  face  of  the  earih." 

A  summary  of  the  Jewish  creed  was  drawn  up  by  Moses  Maimonides,  otherwise 
called  the  "Great  Rambam,"  (Rabbi  Moses  Ben  Maimon.)  an  Egyptian  rabbi  of  the 
eleventh  century,  which  is  still  acknowledged  as  their  confession  of  faith.  It  con- 
sists of  thirteen  articles,  and  is  as  follows : 

1.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name!  is  the 
governor  and  creator  of  all  the  creatures,  and  that  it  is  he  who  made,  maketh,  and 
will  make  all  things. 

2.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name  1  is  one, 
and  that  no  unity  is  like  his,  and  he,  alone,  our  God,  was,  is,  and  shall  be. 

3.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name !  is  incor- 
poreal ;  that  he  is  not  to  be  comprehended  by  those  faculties  which  comprehend 
corporeal  objects ;  and  that  there  is  no  resemblance  to  him  whatever. 

4.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name!  is  the  first 
and  the  last. 

5.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name !  is  alone 
worthy  of  adoration;  and  that  none  besides  him  is  worthy  of  adoration. 

6.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  all  the  oracles  of  the  prophets  are  true. 

7.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  prophecies  of  Moses,  our  master,  on 
whom  be  peace,  are  true ;  and  that  he  is  the  father  of  all  the  wise  men  who  were  be- 
fore him,  and  who  came  after  him. 

8.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect»faith,  that  the  whole  law  of  commandments  which  we 
now  have  in  our  hands,  was  given  to  Moses,  our  master  on  whom  be  peace. 

9.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  this  law  will  not  be  changed,  and  that  there 
will  not  be  any  other  law  from  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name ! 

10.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name !  knows 

all  the  actions  of  the  children  of  men,  and  all  their  thoughts ;  as  it  is  said "  Who 

frameth  all  their  hearts;  who  understandeth  all  their  actions." 


112  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

11.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name!  will 
recompense  good  to  him  who  observeth  his  commandments,  and  that  he  will  punish 
him  that  transgresseth  them. 

12.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  in  the  advent  of  the  Messiah,  and  though  he 
should  tarry,  yet  I  will  patieLily  wait  for  him  every  day  till  he  come. 

13.  I  believe,  with  a  perfect  faith,  that  there  will  be  a  revivification  of  the  dead, 
at  the  period  when  it  shall  please  the  Creator,  blessed  be  his  name !  and  let  his  re- 
membrance be  exalted  forever  and  ever  I 


EVANGELICAL  LUTHERAN   CHURCH. 

The  first  Lutherans  in  this  country  were  emigrants  from  Holland  to  New  Amster- 
dam (New  York),  in  1621.  "While  the  Dutch  had  possession  of  the  territory,  they 
were  compelled  to  hold  their  meetings  in  private  ;  but  when  it  passed  into  the  hands 
of  the  British,  they  were  permitted  to  conduct  their  worship  publicly.  Their  first 
minister  was  Jacob  Fabricius,  who  labored  among  them  eight  years,  when  he  con- 
nected himself  with  the  Swedish  Lutherans  at  Wricaco,  now  Southwark,  Philadelphia, 
where  he  preached  fourteen  years,  during  nine  of  which  he  was  blind. 

The  second  Lutheran  settlement  was  that  of  the  Swedes,  on  the  Delaware,  in 
1636.  The  churches  planted  here,  yielding  by  degrees  to  the  prevalence  of  the  Eng- 
lish language,  were  at  length  absorbed  by  the  Episcopal  church. 

The  third  settlement  was  that  of  the  Germans,  which  spread  over  Pennsylvania. 
Maryland,  Virginia,  and  the  interior  of  New  York  and  the  Western  States.  In  1710, 
3000  Germans,  chiefly  Lutherans,  who  had  left  their  own  country  on  account  of 
Romish  intolerance,  arrived  in  New  York,  and  settled  in  the  counties  on  either  side 
the  Hudson,  and  in  Pennsylvania. 

In  1733,  a  fourth  band  of  Lutherans,  from  Saltzburg,  who  had  fled  from  Romish 
persecution,  settled  in  Georgia,  and  in  gratitude  to  God  for  their  safe  escape  and 
arrival,  styled  this  location  Ebenezer. 

About  the  same  time,  numerous  Germans,  principally  Lutherans,  from  Pennsyl- 
vania and  other  states,  settled  in  North  Carolina. 

In  1735,  some  German  families,  of  Lutheran  principles,  established  themselves  in 
Virginia. ' 

In  1739,  some  Germans  of  the  Lutheran  faith  settled  in  Waldborough,  Maine. 

In  November,  1742,  the  celebrated  Henry  Melchior  Muhlenberg,  arrived  in  Geor- 
gia, where  he  spent  a  few  days  with  two  brethren,  to  refresh  himself  and  learn  the 
circumstances  of  the  country,  when  he  proceeded  to  Pennsylvania,  which,  after  a 
dangerous  voyage,  he  reached  in  safety,  when  he  immediately  commenced  his  labors. 
This  devoted  servant  of  Christ  was  endowed  with  a  comprehensive  mind  and  great 
energy.  Previous  to  his  arrival,  the  Lutheran  church  in  the  colonies  had  merely 
existed,  and  was  without  union  or  influence.  Muhlenberg,  proceeding  from  settle- 
ment to  settlement,  from  congregation  to  congregation,  preaching  in  churches,  dwell- 
ings, barns,  in  the  open  air,  praying,  counselling,  exporting,  everywhere  woke  up 
the  church  to  a  sense  of  her  power  and  responsibility,  and  roused  the  brethren  to 
spiritual  vigor  and  zeal.  Like  a  second  Paul,  his  energies  knew  no  bounds  or  falter- 
ing, his  dangerous  journeys  had  for  him  no  fears,  and  he  had  but  one  aim — to  build 
up  the  church  in  the  Lord.  Under  his  indefatigable  labors  the  church  rose  from  her 
slumber,  and  put  on  her  armor  to  the  fight  for  the  winning  of  souls.  A  great  work 
followed,  and  a  foundation  laid  for  greater  things  to  corne^

.  Muhlenberg  -was,  from  time  to  time,  joined  by  kindred  spirits  from  Germany  ;  in 
1745,  by  such  men  as  Brunnholtz  and  Lemke;  in  1748,  by  Handshuh,  "Weygand, 
and  Hartwick;  in  1751,  by  Heinzelman  and  Schultz;  in  1753,  be  Gerock,  Hausil, 
"Wagner,  Shrenk,  Wortman,  Rauss,  and  Schartlin;  in  1758,  by  Bager;  in  1764,  by 
Yoigt  and  Krug;  in  1769,  by  Schmidt  and  Helmuth;  in  1770,  by  Kunze.  At  the 
first  synod,  in  1748,  there  were  only  11  regular  Lutheran  ministers  in  the  colonies; 
in  1751,  there  were  40  congregations,  and  a  Lutheran  population  of  about  60,000. 

The  Lutheran,  in  common  with  all  other  denominations,  suffered  seriously  by  the 
war,  from  which  it  only  slowly  recovered.  In  1786,  the  Lutheran  clergy  in  the  Mid- 
dle States  numbered  24.  From  that  time  till  1820,  men  seemed  to  care  more  fo^  the 
accumulation  of  property  than  for  religion.  The  church  had  gradually  become  di- 
vided into  five  or  six  different  synods,  and  these  were  estranged  and  unconnected. 
The  churches,  too,  had  fallen  into  indifference  in  regard  to  each  other,  and  except  a 
faithful  few,  threatened  eventually  to  decline  into  extinction.  But  the  dawn  of  a 
better  day  was  at  hand. 

1820,  a  General  Synod  was  organized,  the  salutary  influence  of  which  was  felt  in 
every  department  of  the  church.  From  the  formation  of  this  Synod,  dates  the  real 
advance  of  the  denomination.  Among  some  of  its  fruits  were  a  scriptural  formula  of 
government  and  discipline,  a  selection  of  psalmody  of  a  higher  order  than  had  pre- 
viously been  used,  a  theological  seminary,  and  a  college. 

But  the  union  of  the  synods  in  a  General  Synod  was  not  effected  without  a  struggle. 
At  the  proposition  for  its  formation,  the  ignorant,  the  suspicious,  and  the  unfriendly 
threw  out  a  cry  of  "Church  and  State,"  which  alarmed  many,  and  resulted,  in  1822, 
in  the  withdrawal  of  the  largest  and  oldest  of  the  Synods — that  of  Pennsylvania. 

The  theological  seminary  established  in  1825,  went  into  operation  the  following 
year.  It  is  situated  at  Gettysburg,  about  114  miles  from  Philadelphia.  Its  beginning 
was  feeble,  but  it  advanced  with  the  denomination  and  the  country,  and  from  its 
honored  halls  hundreds  of  able  ministers  have  gone  out,  while  it  has  a  library  of  sev- 
eral thousand  volumes  of  almost  every  age,  language,  and  size. 

It  being  found  that  many  applicants  for  admission  to  the  seminary  were  deficient 
in  classical  requirements,  in  1827,  a  preparatory  school  was  established,  which  grad- 
ually rose  in  importance  and  usefulness.  In  1829,  it  was  changed  into  a  gymnasium. 
In  1831,  the  number  of  students  had  so  greatly  increased  that  steps  were  taken, 
chiefly  through  the  energetic  steps  of  Prof.  Schmucker,  to  convert  it  into  a  college, 
and,  a  charter  having  been  obtained,  it  was  organised,  in  July,  1832,  under  the  title 
of  Pennsylvania  College,  went  into  operation  in  October  of  the  same  year,  and  is  now 
one  of  the  most  flourishing  institutions  of  its  kind  in  the  Union. 

The  denomination  has  now,  free  from  debt  and  flourishing,  several  institutions  of 
learning  and  for  the  preparation  of  young  men  for  the  ministry,  and  annually  con 
tributes  its  proportion  of  the  piety,  the  learning,  the  intelligence,  the  patriotism,  and 
the  integrity  of  the  nation. 

It  has,  also,  an  institution  for  the  education  of  poor  orphan  children,  called  th<» 
Emmaus  Institution,  located  at  Middletown,  Pennsylvania. 

The  literature  of  the  denomination  is  extensive,  and  embraces  many  of  the  mos 
important  theological  productions  in  the  English  and  German  languages.     It  has  r. 
its  interest  several  English  and  German  periodicals,  noticeable  for  their  learning,  irj 
telligence  and  talent,  and  for  their  careful  dissemination  of  those  principles  which 
make  men  study  in  truth  and  sterling  integrity  and  guard  them  alike  from  fanaticism, 
from  holding  back  on  occasions  of  importance,  and  from  the  seductive  blandishments 
of  error.     Of  these,  the  Lutheran  Observer,  published  at  Baltimore,  is  the  chief,  and 
has  a  large  and  constantly  increasing  circulation. 

The  government  and  discipline  of  the  church  resemble  those  of  the  Presbyterian.

Its  Synod  corresponds  to  the  Presbytery  of  the  latter ;  and  its  General  Synod  to  the 
General  Assembly. 

In  worship,  the  Lutherans  usually  employ  a  short  liturgy,  the  use  of  which  how- 
ever is  entirely  discretionary  with  the  minister. 

Usages. — The  denomination  maintains  infant  church  membership  and  baptism,  and 
the  rite  of  confirmation  ,•  parental  care  is  taken  of  baptised  children,  who  are  faith- 
fully instructed  by  each  society  in  Luther's  catechism,  which  contains  the  doctrines 
of  the  church. 

The  festivals  of  Christmas,  Good  Friday,  Easter,  the  Ascension,  and  Whitsuntide, 
are  observed,  as  commemorative  of  the  fundamental  facts  of  the  Christian  religion, 
•md  for  the  purpose  of  leading  the  clergy  to  preach  annually  on  the  events  they  se- 
verally represent. 

Preparation  for  communion  consists  in  a  public  preparatory  discourse,  a  publio 
nd  general  confession  of  sins,  and  a  rehearsal  of  the  promises  of  divine  mercy,  simi- 
ter  to  the  preparatory  exercises  of  other  churches,  except  that,  as  in  the  Episcopal 
church,  they  are  generally  conducted  according  to  a  form. 

Writers,  both  careless  and  unfriendlv,  have  taken  advantage  of  these  usages,  and 
certain  of  its  views,  to  represent  this  denomination  as  more  nearly  resembling  the 
Roman  Catholic  than  any  other  Protestant  church ;  than  which,  nothing  could  be 
further  from  the  truth. 

The  church  does  not  bind  her  ministers  to  the  minutiae  of  any  human  creed. 
The  Bible,  and  the  belief  that  the  fundamental  doctrines  of  the  Bible  are  taught  in  a 
manner  substantially  correct  in  the  Angsburg  confession,  together  with  an  approval 
of  her  principles  of  government  and  worship,  are  all  that  she  requires. 

They  regard  ordination  as  valid,  whether  they  who  perform  it  are  called  bishops, 
presbyters,  ministers  or  pastors.  They  further  believe  that,  in  a  case  of  necessity, 
a  minister  may  be  set  apart  and  constituted  by  the  laity  themselves. 

As  the  denominaiion  has  been  much  misrepresented  as  regards  her  view  of  the 
Eucharist,  it  is  but  fair  to  give  its  real  view,  that  readers  may  judge  for  themselves. 
It  is  this :  "  That  there  is  no  presence  of  the  glorified  human  nature  of  the  Saviour, 
either  substantial  or  influential;  nor  anything  mysterious  or  supernatural  in  the  Eu- 
charist ;  yet,  that  whilst  the  bread  and  wine  are  merely  symbolic  representations  of 
the  Saviour's  absent  body,  by  which  we  are  reminded  of  his  sufferings,  there  is  also 
a  special  spiritual  blessing  bestowed  by  the  divine  Saviour  on  all  worthy  communi- 
cants, by  which  their  faith  and  Christian  graces  are  confirmed." 

The  following,  from  the  Augsburg  Confession,  are  the  leading  doctrines  of  the 
church. 

CONFESSION   OF   FAITH. 

1.  The  Trinity  of  Persons  in  the  one  God. — That  there  is  one  divine  essence,  which 
is  called,  and  is  God,  eternal,  incorporeal,  indivisible,  infinite  in  power,  wisdom,  and 
goodness;  and  yet  that  there  are  three  persons  who  are  of  the  same  essence  and 
power,  and  are  co-eternal :  the  Father,  the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Spirit. 

2.  The  proper  and  eternal  divinity  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. — "  That  the  Word,  that 
is  the  Son  of  God,  assumed  human  nature  in  the  womb  of  the  blessed  Virgin  Mary, 
so  that  the  two  natures,  human  and  divine,  inseparably  united  into  one  person,  con- 
stitute one  Christ,  who  is  true  God  and  man." 

3.  The  universal  depravity  of  our  race. — "  That  since  the  fall  of  Adam,  all  men  who 
are  naturally  engendered,  are  born  with  a  depraved  nature,  that  is,  without  the  fear 
of  God,  or  confidence  towards  him,  but  with  sinful  propensities."  By  natural,  or 
original,  or  innate  depravity,  the  great  body  of  Lutheran  divines  understand  "that 
disorder  in  the  mental  and  bodily  constitution  of  man,  which  was  introduced  by  the 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  115 

fell  of  Adam  (Rom.  v,  12).  is  transmitted  by  natural  genoration  from  parent  to  child 
(John  hi,  6),  and  the  result  of  which  is,  that  all  men,  who  are  naturally  engendered, 
evince  in  their  actions,  want  of  holiness  and  a  predispositon  to  sin."  (Gen.  vi,  5; 
viii,  21.)  "  Without  the  admission  of  such  a  disorder  in  the  human  system,  no  satis- 
factory reason  can  be  assigned  for  the  universality  of  actual  transgression  amongst 
men." 

4.  The  vicarious  and  unlimited  atonement. — "  That  the  Son  of  God  truly  suffered, 
was  crucified,  died,  and  was  buried,  that  he  might  reconcile  the  Father  to  us,  and  be 
a  sacrifice  not  only  for  original  sin,  but  also  for  all  the  actual  sins  of  men.  That  he 
also  sanctifies  those  who  believe  in  him,  by  sending  into  their  hearts  the  Holy  Spirit, 
who  governs,  consoles,  quickens,  and  defends  them  against  the  devil  and  the  power 
of  sin."  "  The  work  of  Christ  may  be  regarded  as  the  vicarious  endurance  of  incal- 
culable suffering,  and  the  exhibition  of  perfect  righteousness,  by  which  full  atone- 
ment was  made  and  salvation  purchased  for  the  whole  world,  to  be  offered  to  them 
on  conditions ;  made  possible  by  divine  grace  to  all  who  hear  the  gospel.  The 
Lutheran  Church  also  regards  fallen  man  as  incapable  of  performing  these  conditions 
of  salvation  (repentance  and  faith)  prescribed  in  the  gospel  without  the  gracious  aid 
of  God ;  but  maintains,  that  this  necessary  aid  consists  in  the  means  of  grace  and 
the  invariably  accompanying  influences  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  for  the  sincere  (not  per- 
fect) use  of  which  all  men  possess  the  entire  ability  (physical  and  intellectual),  and 
the  sincere  and  persevering  use  of  which  is  always,  sooner  or  later,  made  effectual 
to  the  accomplishment  of  the  above  conditions  of  salvation." 

6.  Justification  by  faith  alone. — "  That  men  cannot  be  justified  before  God  by  their 
own  strength,  merits,  or  works ;  but  that  they  are  justified  gratuitously,  for  Christ's 
sake,  through  faith ;  or,  justification,  more  amply  defined,  is  that  forensic  or  judicial 
act  of  God,  by  which  a  believing  sinner,  in  consideration  of  the  merits  of  Christ,  is 
released  from  the  penalty  of  the  divine  law,  and  is  declared  to  be  entitled  to  heaven." 
The  faith  here  spoken  of,  usually  termed  justifying  faith,  is  that  voluntary  act  of  the 
illuminated  and  evangelically  penitent  sinner,  by  which  he  confides  in  the  mercy  of 
God  through  Christ  for  salvation,  on  the  terms  offered  in  the  gospel.  Its  exact 
nature  is  that  of  confidence,  trust  or  reliance  on  God,  and  is  similar  to  the  confidence 
of  a  child  in  an  affectionate  parent,  or  of  one  friend  in  the  known  character  of  another. 
It  includes — 1.  A  knowledge,  or  belief  of  the  character  of  God,  and  especially  of 
the  Saviour,  as  deserving  of  our  confidence ;  2.  Feelings  of  approbation  and  delight 
in  this  character,  especially  as  developed  in  the  gospel  plan  of  salvation ;  and,  3.  A 
volition  to  accept  the  offers  of  mercy  on  the  terms  proposed,  that  is,  to  act  in  accord- 
ance with  this  belief  and  feeling,  and  to  surrender  the  soul  entirely,  unconditionally 
and  eternally  to  God." 

6.  Necessity  of  a  holy  life  and  good  works  as  a  fruit  of  faith. — "That  this  faith  must 
bring  forth  good  fruits ;  and  that;  it  i3  our  duty  to  perform  those  good  works  which 
God  commanded,  because  he  has  enjoined  them,  and  not  in  the  expectation  of  thereby 
meriting  justification  before  him." 

7.  Divine  appointment  of  the  Jioly  ministry  and  sacraments. — "  That,  in  order  that 
we  may  obtain  this  faith,  the  ministerial  office  has  been  instituted,  whose  members 
are  to  preach  the  gospel,  and  administer  the  sacraments  (viz.  Baptism  and  the  Lord's 
Supper).  For,  through  the  instrumentality  of  the  word  and  sacraments  as  means  of 
grace,  the  Holy  Spirit  is  given,  who,  in  his  own  time  and  place,  produces  faith  in 
those  who  hear  the  gospel  message,  viz.,  that  God,  for  Christ's  sake,  and  not  on 
account  of  any  merit  in  us,  justifies  those  who  believe  in  Christ." 

8.  Final  jicdgment  and  eternity  of  future  retributions. — "  That,  at  the  end  of  the 
world,  Christ  will  appear  for  judgment;  that  he  will  raise  all  the  dead;  that  he  will 
give  to  the  pious  and  elect  eternal  life  and  endless  joys,  but  will  condemn  wicked 
men  and  devils  to  be  punished  without  end."

MORMONS,  OR  LATTER  DAY  SAINTS. 

The  founder  of  this  sect,  Joseph  Smith,  was  bora  December  23d,  1805,  at  Sharon^ 
"Windham  county,  Vermont.  "When  he  was  ten  years  old,-  his  parents  removed  to* 
Palmyra,  New  York,  where  they  resided  four  years,  when  they  again  changed  their' 
residence  to  Manchester,  about  six  miles  from  Palmyra,  where  they  lived  for  manyf 
years. 

Smith's  own  account  of  himself,  in  the  Book  of  Mormon,  and  the  rise  of  the  Latter1 
Day  Saints,  is  as  follows : 

His  Early  Life. — "  My  father  was  a  farmer,  and  taught  me  the  art  of  husbanefry- 
"When  about  fourteen  years  of  age,  I  began  to  reflect  upon  the  importance  of  being' 
prepared  for  a  future  state  ;  and  upon  inquiring  the  place  of  salvation,  I  found  that- 
there  was  a  great  clash  in  religious  sentiment;  if  I  went  to  one  society  they  referred 
me  to  one  place,  and  another  to  another ;  each  one  pointing  to  his  own  particular 
creed  as  the  "summum  bonum"  of  perfection.  Considering  that  all  could  not  be 
right,  and  that  God  could  not  be  the  author  of  so  much  confusion,  I  determined  to 
investigate  the  subject  more  fully,  believing  that  if  G-od  had  a  church,  it  would  not 
be  split  up  into  factions,  and  that  if  he  taught  one  society  to  worship  one  way,  and 
administer  in  one  set  of  ordinances,  he  would  not  teach  auother  principles  which  were 
diametrically  opposed.  Believing  the  word,  of  God,  I  had  confidence  in  the  declara- 
tion of  James,  M  If  any  man  lack  wisdom  let  him  ask  of  God,  who  giveth  to  all  men 
liberally  and  upbraideth  not,  and  it  shall  be  given  him." 

Has  a  Vision. — I  retired  to  a  secret  place  in  a  grove,  and  began  to  call  upon  the- 
Lord.  While  fervently  engaged  in  supplication,  my  mind  was  taken  away  from  the* 
objects  with  which  I  was  surrounded,  and  I  was  en  wrapt  in  a  heavenly  vision,  and 
saw  two  glorious  personages,  who  exactly  resembled  each  other  in  features  and  like- 
ness, surrounded  with  a  brilliant  light,  which  eclipsed  the  sun  at  noonday.  They 
told  me  that  all  the  religious  denominations  were  believing  in  incorrect  doctrines, 
and  that  none  of  them  was  acknowledged  of  God  as  his  church  and  kingdom.  And 
I  was  expressly  commanded  to  'go  not  after  them,' at  the  same  time  receiving  a 
promise,  that  the  fulness  of  the  gospel  should,  at  some  future  time,  be  made  known, 
unto  me." 

Has  a  Second  Vision.^- "On  the  evening  of  the  21st  of  September,  A.  D.  2S23, 
while  I  was  praying  unto  God  and  endeavoring  to  exercise  faith  in  the  precious 
promises  of  scripture,  on  a  sudden  a  light  like  that  of  day,  only  of  a  far  purer  and 
more  glorious  appearance  and  brightness,  burst  into  the  room  ;  indeed  the  first  sight 
was  as  though  the  house  was  filled  with  consuming  fire.  The  appearance  produced 
a  shock  that  affected  the  whole  body.  In  a  moment  a  personage  stood  before  me 
surrounded  with  a  glory  yet  greater*  than  that  with  which  I  was  already  surrounded. 
This  messenger  proclaimed  himself  to  be  an  angel  of  God,  sent  to  bring  the  joyful 
tidings,  that  the  covenant  which  God  made  with  ancient  Israel  was  at  hand  to  be 
fulfilled  ;  that  the  preparatory  work  for  the  second  coming  of  the  Messiah  was  speed- 
ily to  commence ;  that  the  time  was  at  hand  for  the  Gospel  in  all  its  fulness  to  be 
preached  in  power,  unto  all  nations,  that  a  people  might  be  prepared  for  the  millen- 
nial reign. 

"  I  was  informed  that  I  was  chosen  to  be  an  instrument  in  the  hands  of  God  to 
bring  about  some  of  his  purposes  in  this  glorious  dispensation. 

"  I  was  informed  also  concerning  the  aboriginal  inhabitants  of  this  country,  and 
shown  who  they  were,  and  from  whence  they  came;— a  brief  sketch  of  their  origin, 
progress,  civilization,  laws,  governments,  of  their  righteousness  and  iniquity,  and  the 
blessings  of  God  being  finallv  withdrawn  from  them  as  a  people,  was  made  knowt> 
unto  me. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  Ht 

The  Book  of  Mormon. — "  I  was  also  told  where  were  deposited  some  plates,  on 
which  was  engraven  an  abridgement  of  the  records  of  the  ancient  prophets  that 'had 
existed  on  this  continent.  The  angel  appeared  to  me  three  times  the  same  night, 
and  unfolded  the  same  things. 

"After  having  received  many  visits  from  the  angels  of  God,  unfolding  the  majesty 
and  glory  of  the  events  that  should  transpire  in  the  last  days,  on  the  morning  of  the* 
22d  of  September  ,  A.  D.  1827,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  delivered  the  records  into  my 
hands. 

"  These  records  were  engraven  on  plates  which  had  the  appearance  of  gold ;  each 
plate  was  six  inches  wide  and  eight  inches  long,  and  not  quite  so  thick  as  common 
tin.  They  were  filled  with  engravings  in  Egyptian  characters,  and  bound  together 
in  a  volume,  as  the  leaves  of  a  book,  with  three  rings  running  through  the  whole. 
The  volume  was  something  near  six  inches  in  thickness,  a  part  of  which  was 
sealed.  The  characters  on  the  unsealed  part  were  small  and  beautifully  engraved. 
The  whole  book  exhibited  many  marks  of  antiquity  in  its  construction,  and  much  skill 
in  the  art  of  engraving.  With  the  records  was  found  a  curious  instrument  which  the 
ancients  called  "Urim  and  Thummim,"  which  consisted  of  two  transparent  stones  set 
in  the  rim  on  a  bow  fastened  to  a  breastplate. 

"  Through  the  medium  of  the  Urim  and  Thummum  I  translated  the  record,  by  the 
girt  and  power  of  God. 

"  In  this  important  and  interesting  book  the  history  of  ancient  America  is  unfolded, 
from  its  first  settlement  by  a  colony  that  came  from  the  tower  of  Babel,  at  the  con- 
fusion of  languages,  to  the  beginning  of  the  fifth  century  of  the  Christian  era. 

"  We  are  informed  by  these  records,  that  America,  in  ancient  times,  has  been  in- 
habited by  two  distinct  races  of  people.  The  first  were  called  Jaredites,  and  came 
directly  from  the  tower  of  Babel.  The  second  race  came  directly  from  the  city  of 
Jerusalem,  about  six  hundred  years  before  Christ.  They  were  principally  Israelites, 
of  the  descendants  of  Joseph.  The  Jaredites  were  destroyed,  about  the  time  that 
the  Israelites  came  from  Jerusalem,  who  succeeded  them  in  the  inheritance  of  the 
country.  The  principal  nation  of  the  second  race  fell  in  battle  towards  the  close  of 
the  fourth  century.  The  remnant  are  the  Indians  who  now  inhabit  this  country. 
This  book  also  tells  us  that  our  Saviour  made  his  appearance  upon  this  continent 
after  his  resurrection ;  that  he  planted  the  Gospel  here  in  all  its  fulness,  and  richness, 
and  power,  and  blessing ;  that  they  had  apostles,  prophets,  pastors,  teachers,  and 
evangelists  ;  the  same  order,  the  same  priesthood,  the  same  ordinances,  gifts,  powers, 
and  blessing,  as  were  enjoyed  on  the  eastern  continent;  that  the  people  were  cut  off 
in  consequence  of  their  transgressions  ;  that  the  last  of  their  prophets  who  existed 
among  them  was  commanded  to  write  an  abridgement  of  their  prophecies,  history, 
Sec,  and  to  hide  it  in  the  earth,  and  that  it  should  come  forth  and  be  united  with  the 
Bible,  for  the  accomplishment  of  the  purposes  of  God,  in  the  last  days." 

Thus  far  Smith's  own  account  of  the  origin  of  the  Book  of  Mormon.  The  state- 
ment of  his  father-in-law,  Mr.  Isaac  Hale,  affirmed  and  subscribed  to  before  Charles 
Dimon,  a  justice  of  the  peace,  March  29,  1834,  is  very  different.  Mr.  Hale's  declara- 
tion is,  that  the  plates,  when  dug  out  of  the  earth,  where  Smith  himself  had  previ- 
ously put  them,  were  inclosed  in  a  box,  which  had  to  all  appearance  been  used  for 
common  sized  window  glass.  Smith  pretended  to  interpret  them,  with  a  stone  in 
his  hat,  and  this  hat  over  his  face,  while  one  Martin  Harris  was  employed  to  write 
down  the  contents  at  his  dictation.  Some  disagreement  arising  between  the  parties 
Harris  went  away,  and  Oliver  Cowdry  came  and  wrote  for  Smith,  while  he  inter- 
preted as  above  described,  till  the  "Book  of  Mormon"  was  completed.  Smith  then 
gave  out  that 'it  was  a  revelation  from  heaven,  and  that  he  himself  was  a  prophet. 
After  describing  the  history  of  the  plates,  Smith  proceeds: 
Result  of  the  Discovery  of  the  Plates. — "  As  soon  as  the  news  of  this  discovery  was 


118  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

made  known,  false  reports,  misrepresentations  and  slander  flew,  as  on  the  wings  of 
the  wind,  in  every  direction ;  my  house  was  frequently  beset  by  mobs,  and  evil  de- 
signing persons.  Several  times  I  was  shot  at,  and  very  narrowly  escaped ;  and 
every  device  was  made  use  of  to  get  the  plates  from  me ;  but  the  power  and  blessing 
of  God  attended  me,  and  several  began  to  believe  my  testimony. 

Beginning  of  the  Church. — "  On  the  6th  of  April,  1830,  the  "  Church  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  Latter  Day  Saints/'  was  first  organised,  in  the  town  of  Manchester,  Ontario  county, 
State  of  New  York.  Some  few  were  called  and  ordained  by  the  Spirit  of  revelation 
and  prophecy,  and  began  to  preach  as  the  Spirit  gave  them  utterance,  and  thou<:  t, 
weak,  yet  were  they  strengthened  by  the  power  of  God ;  and  many  were  brought  7 
repentance,  were  immersed  in  the  water,  and  were  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost  by  tU* 
laying  on  of  hands.  They  saw  visions  and  prophesied,  devils  were  cast  out,  and  the 
sick  healed  by  the  laying  on  of  hands.  From  that  time  the  work  progressed  with 
astonishing  rapidity,  and  churches  were  soon  formed  in  the  States  of  New  York, 
Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  and  Missouri. 

Fortunes  of  the  Church  in  Missouri. — "  In  Missouri,  a  considerable  settlement  was 
formed  in  Jackson  county;  numbers  joined  the  church,  and  we  were  increasing  rap- 
idly; we  made  large  purchases  of  land;  our  farms  teemed  with  plenty,  and  peace  and 
happiness  were  enjoyed  in  our  domestic  circle  and  throughout  our  neighborhood;  but 
as  we  could  not  associate  with  our  neighbors, — who  were,  many  of  them,  the  basest 
of  men,  and  had  fled  from  the  face  of  civilized  society  to  the  frontier  country,  to  es- 
cape the  hand  of  justice, — in  their  midnight  revels,  their  sabbath-breaking,  horse- 
racing,  and  gambling,  they  commenced  at  first  to  ridicule,  then  to  persecute,  and 
finally  an  organised  mob  assembled  and  burned  our  houses,  tarred  and  feathered  and 
whipped  many  of  our  brethren,  and  finally  drove  them  from  their  habitations ;  these, 
houseless  and  homeless,  contrary  to  law,  justice,  and  humanity,  had  to  wander  on 
the  bleak  prairies  till  the  children  left  the  tracks  of  their  blood  on  the  prairie.  This 
took  place  in  the  month  of  November,  and  they  had  no  other  covering  but  the  canopy 
of  heaven,  hi  that  inclement  Season  of  the  year.  This  proceeding  was  winked  at  by 
the  Government;  and  although  we  had  warrantee  deeds  for  our  land,  and  had  vio- 
lated no  law,  we  could  obtain  no  redress.  There  were  many  sick  who  were  thus  in- 
humanly driven  from  their  houses,  and  had  to  endure  all  this  abuse,  and  to  seek 
houses  where  they  could  be  found.  A  great  many,  deprived  of  the  comforts  of  life, 
and  necessary  attendance,  died;  many  children  were  left  orphans;  wives,  widows; 
and  husbands,  widowers.  Our  farms  were  taken  possession  of  by  the  mob,  many 
thousands  of  cattle,  sheep,  horses,  and  hogs  were  taken,  and  our  household  goods, 
store  goods,  and  printing  press  and  types  were  broke::,  taken,  or  otherwise  destroyed. 

"Many  of  our  brethren  removed  to  Clay  county,  where  they  continued  until  1836 
(three  years;)  there  was  no  violence  offered,  but  there  were  threatenings  of  violence. 
But  in  the  summer  of  1836,  these  threatenings  began  to  assume  a  more  serious  as- 
pect ;  from  threats,  public  meetings  were  called,  resolutions  were  passed,  vengeance 
and  destruction  were  threatened,  and  affairs  again  assumed  a  fearful  attitude;  Jack- 
son county  was  a  sufficient  precedent,  and  as  the  authorities  in  that  county  did  not 
interfere,  they  boasted  that  they  would  not  in  this ,  which,  on  application  to  the  au- 
thorities, we  found  to  be  too  true;  and,  after  much  violence,  privation,  and  loss  of 
property,  we  were  again  driven  from  our  homes. 

"We  next  settled  in  Caldwell  and  Davies  counties,  where  we  made  large  aud  ex- 
tensive settlements,  thinking  to  free  ourselves  from  the  power  of  oppression  by  set- 
tling in  new  counties  with  a  very  few  inhabitants.  But  here  we  were  not  allowed 
to  live  in  peace.  In  1833,  we  were  again  attacked  by  mobs.  An  exterminating 
order  was  issued  by  Governor  Boggs,  and  under  the  sanction  of  law.  an  organised 
banditti  ravaged  the  country,  robbing  us  of  our  cattle,  sheep,  horses,  hogs,  &c. 
Many  of  our  people  were  murdered  in  cold  blood ;  the  chastity  of  our  women  was 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  119 

violated,  and  we  were  forced  to  sign  away  our  property  at  the  point  of  the  sword  ; 
and  after  enduring  every  indignity  that  could  be  heaped  upon  us  by  an  inhuman 
band  of  marauders, — from  twelve  to  fifteen  thousand  souls,  men,  women,  and  chil- 
dren, were  driven  from  their  own  firesides,  and  from  lands  for  which  they  had  war- 
rantee deeds,  to  wander  houseless,  friendless,  and  homeless,  (in  the  depth  of  winter,) 
as  exiles  on  the  earth,  or  to  seek  an  asylum  in  a  more  genial  clime,  and  among  a  less 
barbarous  people." 

Fortunes  in  Illinois. — After  being  expelled  from  Missouri,  the  Mormons,  in  the  fall 
of  1839,  settled  in  Hancock  county.  Illinois.  Here  they  commenced  a  city  called 
Nauvoo,  which,  in  process  of  time,  had  1500  houses  and  15,000  inhabitants.  They 
organized,  by  virtue  of  their  charter,  a  military  body,  called  the  Nauvoo  Legion,  an 
agricultural  and  manufacturing  association,  and  a  university.  Here,  too,  now  deem- 
ing themselves  permanently  located,  they  commenced  the  construction  of  an  immense 
structure,  entitled  the  Nauvoo  temple,  designed  to  be  the  largest  religious  edifice  in 
the  world,  and  said  to  be  built  by  the  direct  revelation  of  Jesus  Christ,  for  the  sal- 
vation of  the  living  and  the  dead.  Missionaries  were  sent  out  to  every  notable  place 
of  the  United  States,  and  to  Europe  and  Asia,  by  whom  proselytes  were  made  in 
incredible  numbers,  who  were  directed  to  go  and  take  up  their  residence  in  the  holy 
city  of  the  church. 

The  city  had  a  common  council,  of  which  Smith  was  president ;  a  military  legion 
of  several  thousand  men,  of  which  he  was  the  commanding  officer ;  a  church  council, 
of  which  he  was  the  head. 

Troubles  soon  arose.  Many,  jealous  of  Smith's  supreme  authority  in  all  things, 
fomented  discord,  and  eventually  succeeded  in  dividing  the  populace  into  two  parties 
A  newspaper,  termed  the  Nauvoo  Expositor,  conducted  by  a  zealous  partizan,  be- 
coming obnoxious  to  the  dominant  party,  was  ordered  by  Smith  to  be  destroyed, 
which,  though  not  without  a  struggle,  was  done.  For  this  illegal  act  redress  was 
sought,  but  could  not  be  obtained  in  Nauvoo.  It  was  then  applied  for  to  a  county 
magistrate,  who  issued  a  warrant  of  arrest  against  Smith  and  all  implicated  in 
the  outrage,  which  had  created  throughout  the  state  a  tempest  of  indignation,  and 
added  largely  to  the  prejudice  and  excitement  in  the  neighbouring  counties  against 
the  prophet  and  his  followers. 

Believing  that  the  warrant  would  not  be  allowed  by  the  Mormons  to  be  served, 
aud  having  fresh  in  their  recollection  a  former  reported  disregard  by  Smith  to  the 
authority  of  the  State,  the  neighbouring  inhabitants  held  indignant  mass  meetings, 
of  which  shrewd  politicians  took  prompt  advantage,  and  at  which  violent  and  in- 
flammatory language  was  used  without  stint.  The  people,  already  highly  excited, 
now  became  uproarious.  The  authorities,  fearing  bloodshed,  called  out  the  Militia, 
who  followed  several  armed  and  riotous  bands  that  had  alreadj'-  congregated  near 
Nauvoo.  Gov.  Ford,  apprised  of  the  danger  threatening  the  public  peace,  hastened 
at  once  to  the  scene,  and,  by  a  short  but  judicious  address  to  both  parties,  succeeded 
in  allaying  the  gathering  storm. 

On  the  24th  of  June,  1844,  Smith  and  his  brother  Hyrum,  receiving  assurances  of 
protection  from  Gov.  Ford,  proceeded  with  some  friends  to  the  neighbouring  town  of 
Carthage,  to  surrender  themselves  as  prisoners  on  the  warrant.  "While  on  their 
way,  they  were  met  by  an  officer,  at  the  head  of  a  troop  of  cavalry,  with  an  order 
from  the  Governor  for  the  State  arms  in  the  possession  of  the  Nauvoo  Legion.  Smith, 
as  commander  of  the  legion,  endorsed  the  order,  and  returned  with  the  officer  to 
Nauvoo  to  see  it  executed.  The  arms  wers  delivered  up,  and  both  parties  again  set 
out  for  Carthage,  where  they  arrived  at  midnight,  and  where  the  Smiths  were  im- 
prisoned in  the  debtor's  room  of  the  jail,  with  the  privilege  of  being  visited  by  their 
friends. 

Death  of  Smith, — On  the  27th,  the  excitement  having  apparently  subsided,  the 


120  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN'    RECORD. 

Governor  discharged  the  principal  body  of  the  troops,  and  proceeded  with  a  single 
company  to  Nauvoo,  leaving  the  jail,  the  prisoners,  and  a  few  of  their  friends,  guarded 
by  seven  or  eight  men,  and  a  company  of  militia  a  short  distance  in  reserve.  Towards 
dusk,  a  mob  of  armed  and  disguised  men  suddenly  surrounded  the  jail,  overpowered 
the  guard,  broke  in  upon  the  prisoners,  who  were  alone  and  without  means  of  do- 
fence,  and  levelling  their  rifles,  with  furious  taunts  and  bitter  curses,  deliberately  shot 
them  dead. 

The  Mormons,  justly  excited  by  the  brutal  and  barbarous  act,  indignantly  flew  to 
arms.  Their  leaders,  however,  receiving  from  the  Governor  an  assurance  that  the 
facts  should  be  inquired  into,  and  justice  done  upon  the  murderers,  succeeded  in  paci- 
fying them. 

The  bodies  of  the  two  brothers  were  conveyed  to  Nauvoo,  and  buried  with  military 
honors.  But  it  ere  long  became  evident  to  the  Mormons  that  their  enemies  were  too 
crafty  and  many  for  them,  and  after  a  tjme  they  again  struck  their  tents,  turning 
their  faces  to  the  Far  West,  and  finally  settling  down  at  Salt  Lake,  their  present 
location,  whence  they  contemplate  still  another  removal  to  some  land  which  they 
can  have  exclusively  to  themselves,  where  their  doctrines  and  institutions  can  give 
offence  to  none. 

Brigham  Young,  their  present  prophet,  is  a  man  of  large  administrative  powers, 
a  resolute  will,  unflinching  courage,  and  possessed  of  all  the  qualities  of  a  leader.  Much 
has  been  said  and  published  concerning  him,  but  it  is  evident  to  careful  observers  of 
the  man  and  the  times  that  his  true  history  is  yet  to  be  written. 

The  literature  of  this  body  is  limited.  The  Book  of  Mormon,  whose  style  is  an  im- 
itation of  the  Books  of  Isaiah  and  Psalms,  a  History  of  the  Latter  Day  Saints,  a  Life 
of  Smith,  a  few  Memoirs  of  the  early  Lights  of  the  Sect,  and  here  and  there  irregular 
Missionary  Journals,  comprise  its  principal  literary  stock. 

The  chief  reliance  of  its  leaders  for  the  diffusion  of  their  doctrines  is  in  its  mission- 
aries, who  are  numerous,  zealous  and  energetic. 

Peculiarities. — Every  believer  may  take  as  many  wives  as  his  means  will  support, 
Some  have  as  many  as  seventeen,  others  only  one. 

The  great  body  regard  the  Book  of  Mormon  with-as  much  reverence  as  Mahometans 
do  the  Koran,  and  Smith  himself  as  Mussulmans  do  Mahomet. 

The  initiation  rites  into  the  church  are  viewed  with  respect  only  by  Mormons 
themselves.  Seceders  assert  that  it  is  dangerous  to  the  person  to  complain  in  this 
or  any  other  respect ;  that  in  the  ignorance  of  the  people  lies  the  only  hope  of  suc- 
cess of  the  church ;  that  its  leaders  are  without  honor,  truth,  morality,  or  human 
sympathy;  that  they  live  on  the  credulity,  the  stupidity,  and  the  superstition  of  dupes; 
that  they  permit  neither  freedom  of  conscience  nor  of  person ;  that  they  discourage 
literature  and  the  press  as  dangerous  to  their  creed,  their  pretensions,  and  their  sel- 
fishness ;  and  that  Mormonism  is,  from  first  to  last,  an  excrescence  on  civilization 
and  an  impudent  fraud  upon  an  ignorant,  credulous  and  naturally  superstitious 
humanity. 

BELIEF   OF   THE   LATTER  DAY   SAINTS. 

1.  The  Bible. — "We  believe  the  Bible  to  be  the  Word  of  God,  as  far  as  it  is  tran- 
slated correctly. 

2.  The  Book  of  Mormon. — We  also  believe  the  Book  of  Mormon  to  be  the  Word 
of  God. 

3.  God. — We  believe  in  God  the  Eternal  Father,  and  in  Jesus  Christ  his  only  son, 
and  in  the  Holv  Ghost. 

4.  Adavi's  Sin. — We  believe  that  men  will  be  punished  for  their  own  sins,  and 
not  for  the  transgressions  of  Adam. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  121 

6.  The  Atonement. — We  believe  that  through  the  atonement  of  Christ,  all  men 
may  be  saved,  by  obedience  to  the  laws  and  ordinances  of  the  gospel. 

6.  The  Gospel  Ordinances. — "We  beUeve  the  gospel  ordinances  to  consist  of — 
1.  Faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ;  2.  Repentance;  3.  Baptism,  by  immersionr  for 
the  remission  of  sins  ;  4.  Laying  on  of  hands,  for  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

7.  Church  Offices. — We  believe  in  the  same  organization  that  existed  in  the 
primitive  church,  namely:  apostles,  prophets,  pastors,  teachers  and  evangelists. 

8.  Ministers. — "We  believe,  that  to  preach  the  gospel  and  administer  the  ordinances, 
a  man  must  be  called  of  God  by  prophecy,  and  by  laying  on  of  hands  by  those  who- 
are  in  authority. 

9.  Gifts. — We  believe  in  the  gift  of  tongues,  of  prophecy,  of  revelation,  of  visions, 
of  healing,  and  of  interpretation  of  tongues. 

10.  Revelations. — "We  believe  all  that  God  has  revealed  in  the  Bible  and  the  Book 
of  Mormon,  and  that  he  will  yet  reveal  many  great  and  important  things  pertaining 
to  the  Kingdom  of  God. 

11.  The  Millennium. — We  believe  in  the  literal  gathering  of  Israel,  and  in  the 
restoration  of  the  Ten  Tribes ;  that  Zion  will  be  built  upon  this  continent;  that 
Christ  will  reign  personally  upon  the  earth,  and  that  the  earth  will  be  renewed  and 
receive  its  paradisal  gloiy. 

12.  Duties  as  Subjects. — We  believe  in  being  subject  to  kings,  presidents,  rulers, 
and  magistrates,  and  in  obeying,  honoring  and  sustaining  the  law. 

13.  Duties  as  Men. — We  believe  in  conceding  to  every  man  the  right  and  the 
privilege  of  worshipping  God  according  to  his  conscience,  and  we  claim  the  same 
right  and  privilege  for  ourselves. 

14.  Duties  as  Individuals. — We  believe  in  being  honest,  true,  chaste,  benevolent, 
virtuous,  and  in  doing  good  to  all  men.  With  Paul,  "  we  believe  all  things,  hope  all 
things."  We  have  endured  many  things,  and  hope  to  be  able  to  endure  all  things. 
If  there  is  any  thing  virtuous,  lovely,  praiseworthy,  or  of  good  report,  we  seek 
thereafter. 


MORAVIANS,  OR  UNITED  BRETHREN. 

The  Moravians  were  formed  by  the  descendants  of  Bohemian  and  Moravian  Chris- 
tians, who,  persecuted  for  nonconformity,  in  1772,  at  the  invitation  of  a  generous  and 
pious  nobleman,  named  Nicolas  Lewis,  count  of  Zinzendorf,  founded  on  his  estate,  in 
Upper  Alsatia,  a  colony,  to  which  they  gave  the  name  of  Herrnhut,  on  account  of  which 
they  were  sometimes  called  Herrnhuters.  To  this  settlement  by  degrees  came  other 
persecuted  nonconformists,  when,  finding  a  great  diversity  in  their  sentiments,  they, 
at  the  suggestion  of  their  patron  and  protector,  who,  from  an  early  age,  had  enter- 
tained an  idea  of  constituting  a  Christian  community  on  the  model  of  the  primitive 
apostolic  congregations,  drew  up  certain  articles  of  union,  which,  leaving  out  all  the 
distinctive  doctrines  of  the  various  Protestant  denominations,  and  adopting  only  those 
fundamental  scripture  truths  in  which  all  agree,  they  submitted  to  one  another  for 
reflection  and  prayer.  To  this  was  added  by  Zinzendorf  a  system  of  social  compact 
and  church  discipline  resembling  that  of  the  ancient  church  of  the  Moravian  Breth- 
ren, and  intended  to  form  a  society  in  some  degree  such  as  the  primitive  churches 
are  represented  to  have  been. 

After  mature  deliberation,  the  proposed  religious  and  social  system  was,  in  1727, 
voted  upon  and  adopted,  and  thus  formed  the  parent  society  of  the  present  denomi-. 


122  AiEEEICAN  CHKISTIAtf  EECOED. 

nation  of  United  Brethren,  who,  however,  now  as  then,  mildly  but  firmly  decline  to 
be  considered  a  separate  sect  or  denomination,  asserting  that  this  union  is  exclusively 
founded  on  general  Christian  doctrines,  and  that  their  peculiarities  relate  solely  to 
their  social  organization,  which  is  designed  only  to  facilitate  their  joint  purpose  of 
putting  truly  Christian  principles  into  actual  practice. 

They  admit  of  no  peculiar  articles  of  faith,  confining  themselves  altogether  to  regu- 
lations of  conduct  and  discipline.  As  a  body,  they  regard  the  Augsburg  Confession 
of  Faith  as  most  congenial  to  their  views ;  and  though  they  do  not  pledge  their  min- 
isters to  an  express  adoption  of  its  articles,  it  is  agreed  among  them  not  to  insist 
upon  any  doctrines  utterly  repugnant  thereto.  Experience  has  taught  them  that 
discussions  on  speculative  truths  are  of  no  benefit,  and  they  rarely  or  never  indulge 
in  them.  They  permit  every  man  to  read  the  Scriptures  for  himself,  and  leave  him 
quiet  in  his  private  views,  feeling  that  as  all  receivers  of  the  truth  agree  in  all  essen- 
tial points,  it  is  as  unreasonable  and  unjust  to  interfere  with  another's  personal 
opinions  upon  topics  open  to  discussion,  as  it  would  be  in  others  to  disturb  them ; 
experience,  again,  having  taught  them,  that  these  differences,  among  persons  inti- 
mately associated,  vanish  of  themselves  to  such  a  degree  that  their  practical  conse- 
quences are  almost  imperceptible. 

Small  emigrations  of  Moravians  were  made  to  America  during  the  first  half  of  the 
eighteenth  centur}',  and  settlements  established  in  Pennsylvania  and  North  Carolina, 
They  have  separate  communities  at  Bethlehem,  Nazareth,  and  Litiz,  in  the  former 
State,  and  at  Salem,  in  the  latter.  That  at  Bethlehem  is  the  largest  and  most  im- 
portant. Besides  these,  they  have  numerous  congregations  in  various  States,  re- 
markable for  their  modesty  and  quietness  as  associations,  and  the  exemplary  deport- 
ment of  their  members. 

Their  church  offices  are  bishops,  who  alone  are  authorized  to  ordain,  but  possess  no 
authority  in  the  government  of  the  church,  except  such  as  they  derive  from  some 
other  office,  being  most  frequently  the  president  of  some  board  of  elders ;  presby- 
ters, or  ordained  stated  ministers ;  and,  deacons. 

The  degree  of  deacon  is  the  first  bestowed  upon  young  ministers  and  missionaries, 
by  which  they  are  authorized  to  administer  the  sacraments. 

Females,  though  elders  among  their  own  sex,  are  never  ordained ;  nor  have  they 
a  vote  in  the  deliberation  of  the  Board  of  Elders;  which  they  attend  for  information 
only. 

Communities. — When  the  Brethren  first  commenced  their  colonies  in  American,  it 
was  for  some  years  necessary  to  combine  their  labors,  in  order  to  maintain  themselves 
amid  their  difficulties ;  and  while  each  individual  retained  the  absolute  disposal  of 
any  property  formerly  his  own,  their  joint  earnings,  for  the  time,  went  into  a  com- 
mon stock,  from  which  the  daily  necessities  of  all  were  supplied.  But  this  unnatural 
state  of  tilings  continued  no  longer  than  was  imperatively  necessary. 

Each  community  provides  a  church,  support  for  the  active  ministers  and  othei 
officers,  and  for  proper  schools ;  while  the  individuals  composing  it  are  entirely  inde- 
pendent as  regards  their  private  property,  each  carrying  on  his  private  business  for 
his  own  profit  and  upon  his  own  responsibility,  the  same  as  persons  of  other  denom- 
inations. 

The  community  omits  nothing  to  make  it  beneficial  and  agreeable  to  its  members. 
Certain  trades  or  manufactures  are  carried  on  for  the  benefit  of  the  community,  thus 
furnishing  labor  to  all  its  members  who  do  not  choose  to  work  or  do  business  else- 
where. By  the  profits  from  these,  the  voluntary  annual  subscriptions  of  the  members 
towards  the  maintenance  of  the  ministers  and  the  support  of  the  church  and  schools, 
the  expenses  of  the  community  are  met  as  also  certain  proportionate  contributions 
to  the  fund  for  the  support  of  superannuated  ministers  and  their  widows,  and  the 
education  of  the  children  of  such  of  those  as  are  without  means  of  their  own. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  123 

Widows'  houses  are  constructed,  where  widows  dwell  at  a  small  rent,  while  an- 
other very  small  sum  pays  for  their  board.  The  earnings  of  these  come  from  plain 
and  ornamental  needlework,  which  they  procure  for  themselves,  or  when  this  cannot 
be  done,  the  managers  or  other  members  of  the  community  obtain  it  for  them. 

Orphans  are  carefully  provided  for,  educated,  and  taught  trades  and  business  hab- 
its, so  as  to  enable  them  to  provide  for  themselves. 

The  ministry,  the  missions,  the  aged,  the  church,  are  supported  entirely  by  volun- 
tary contributions. 

"Widows,  single  men  and  youth,  single  women  and  girls,  are  each  placed  under  the 
superintendence  of  elders  of  their  own  description,  whose  province  it  is  to  assist 
them  in  good  advice,  and  to  attend,  as  much  as  may  be,  to  the  spiritual  and  temporal 
welfare  of  each  individual.  Children  of  each  sex  are  under  the  immediate  care  of 
the  superintendent  of  the  single  choirs  as  these  divisions  are  termed.  Their  instruc- 
tion in  religion  and  in  all  the  necessary  branches  of  human  knowledge,  in  good 
school*  for  each  sex,  is  under  the  special  superintendence  of  the  stated  minister  of 
each  community,  and  of  the  Board  of  Elders.  Similar  special  elders  attend  to  the 
spiritual  welfare  of  the  married  people.  AU  these  elders,  of  both  sexes,  together 
with  the  stated  minister,  to  whom  the  preaching  of  the  gospel  is  chiefly  committed, 
(though  all  other  elders,  who  may  be  qualified,  participate  therein.)  and  with  the 
persons  to  whom  the  economical  concerns  of  the  community  are  entrusted,  form  to- 
gether the  Board  of  Elders,  in  which  rests  the  government  of  the  community,  with 
the  concurrence  of  the  committee,  elected  by  the  inhabitants,  for  all  temporal  con- 
cerns. This  committee  superintends  the  observance  of  ah  regulations,  and  decides 
differences  between  individuals.  Matters  of  a  general  nature  are  submitted  to  a 
general  meeting  of  the  whole  male  community,  or  of  a  representative  body  elected 
by  them. 

Public  meetings  are  held  every  evening  during  the  week.  Some  of  these  are 
devoted  to  the  reading  of  portions  of  Scripture ;  others  to  communications  from 
missionary  stations;  and  others  to  the  singing  of  hymns  or  selected  verses. 

Sunday  Services. — On  Sabbath  mornings  the  Church  Litany  is  publicly  read,  and 
sermons  preached.  The  services  in  the  afternoon  are  usually  the  same.  In  the 
evening  discourses  are  delivered,  in  which  the  texts  for  the  day  are  explained  and 
brought  home  to  the  particular  circumstances  of  the  community. 

Festivals. — The  festival  days  of  the  Christian  Church,  such  as  Easter,  Pentecost, 
Christmas,  etc.,  are  commemorated  in  a  special  manner,  as  well  as  some  days  of 
peculiar  interest  in  the  history  of  the  society. 

Music. — A  solemn  church  music  constitutes  a  prominent  feature  of  their  means 
of  edification,  music  in  general  being  a  favorite  employment  of  the  leisure  of  many. 
On  particular  occasions,  and  before  the  Lord's  Supper,  they  assemble  expressly  to 
listen  to  instrumental  and  vocal  music,  interspersed  with  hymns,  in  which  the  whole 
congregation  joins,  while  they  partake  together  of  a  cup  of  coffee,  tea,  or  chocolate, 
and  light  cakes,  in  token  of  fellowship  and  brotherly  union.  This  is  called  a  love 
feast,  and  is  in  imitation  of  the  Agapae,  or  feast  of  love,  in  the  primitive  Christian 
church. 

Each  morning  is  devoted  to  a  solemnity  of  a  peculiar  kind.  At  sunrise,  the 
congregation  assembles  in  the  grave-yard,  which  is  kept  like  a  garden ;  a  service, 
accompanied  by  music,  is  celebrated,  expressive  of  the  joyful  hopes  of  immortality 
and  resurrection;  and  a  commemoration  is  made  of  all  who  have,  in  the  course  of 
the  year,  "  gone  home  to  the  Lord" — a  favorite  expression  by  them  to  designate 
death,  which  they  consider  no  evil,  but  the  entrance  of  an  eternal  state  of  bliss 
to  the  sincere  disciples  of  Christ,  and  they  therefore  desire  to  divest  it  of  all  its 
terrors. 

Funerals. — The  decease  of  every  individual  is  announced  to  the  community  by 


124  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

solemn  music.  Outward  appearances  of  mourning  are  discountenanced.  The  whole 
community  follows  the  bier  to  the  grave-yard,  accompanied  by  a  band  playing  the 
tunes  of  well  known  verses,  expressing  hopes  of  eternal  life  and  resurrection,  and 
the  body  is  deposited  in  the  simple  grave  during  the  funeral  service. 

Morals. — The  preservation  of  the  purity  of  the  community  is  entrusted  to  the 
Board  of  Elders,  who  are  to  give  instruction  and  admonition  to  those  under  their 
care,  and  make  a  discreet  use  of  the  church  discipline.  In  case  of  immoral  conduct, 
or  flagrant  disregard  of  the  regulations  of  the  society,  offenders  are  for  a  time  res- 
trained from  participating  in  the  holy  communion,  or  called  before  the  committee. 
For  pertinacious  bad  conduct,  they  are  dismissed  the  community. 

Education. — Each  community  has  one  or  more  excellent  schools,  for  each  sex. 
These  are,  in  every  respect,  on  a  par  with  the  best  schools  in  the  country,  and  com- 
prise not  only  all  essential  studies,  but  scientific  and  polite  acquirements.  Indeed, 
so  superior  are  these,  that  many,  in  all  parts  of  the  United  States,  not  belonging  to 
the  society,  send  to  them,  for  education,  their  young,  who  are  received  as  boarding 
scholars,  and  their  wants  and  comforts  and  morals  carefully  looked  to.  Each  com- 
munity has  also  a  preparatory  school,  for  those  intending  to  embrace  the  liberal 
professions,  or  to  be  prepared  for  the  ministry. 

Marriage. — No  marriage  takes  place  in  a  community  without  the  consent  of  the 
Board  of  Elders,  which  is  obtained  without  difficulty  upon  application.  The  parties 
are  then  betrothed,  in  the  presence  of  the  elders,  and  they  marry  at  the  time  set  by 
themselves. 

Missions. — The  interest  taken  by  the  members  of  this  denomination  in  the  spiritual 
interest  of  their  fellow-men.  is  beyond  all  praise.  "In  this,"  says  an  eloquent  writer, 
"  they  are  superior  to  any  other  body  of  people  in  the  world.  Their  missionaries  are, 
all  of  them,  volunteers;  for  it  is  an  inviolable  maxim  with  them  to  persuade  no  man 
to  engage  in  missions.  They  are  all  of  one  mind  as  to  the  doctrines  they  teach,  and 
.seldom  make  an  attempt  when  there  are  not  half  a  dozen  of  them  in  the  mission. 
Their  zeal  is  calm,  "steady,  persevering.  They  would  reform  the  world,  but  are  care- 
ful how  they  quarrel  with  it.  They  carry  their  point  by  address,  and  the  insinua- 
tions of  modesty  and  mildness,  which  commend  them  to  all  men,  and  give  offence  to 
none.  The  habits  of  silence,  quietness,  and  decent  reserve,  mark  their  character.  If 
any  of  their  missionaries  are  carried  off  by  sickness  or  casualty,  men  of  the  same 
stamp  are  ready  to  supply  their  place." 

Their  missionaries,  who  chiefly  support  themselves,  by  trades  or  other  occupations, 
are  to  be  found  in  the  "West  and  East  Indies,  in  Greenland,  in  Labrador,  at  the  Cape 
of  Good  Hope,  and  among  the  North  American  Indians.  They  confine  their  labors 
in  all  countries  principally  among  the  ignorant  and  poor,  whom  they  spare  no  pains 
to  bring  to  a  saving  kuowledge  of  Christ.  They  are  noble  and  devoted  men,  and 
worthy  of  all  honor,  but  seeking  none  other  than  the  approval  of  their  blessed  Re- 
deemer. 

The  leading  organ  of  this  denomination,  The  Moravian,  published  at  Philadelphia, 
Pa.,  is  a  weekly  journal,  of  high  but  modest  ability,  and  is  marked  by  a  quiet  but 
earnest  zeal,  a  mild,  firm,  persuasive  tone,  and  a  gentle  but  stirring  defence  to  the 
intelligence  of  the  reader,  and  holding  ever  mildly  but  firmly  in  eight  man's  eternal 
duty  to  God  and  to  man. 


AMERICAS  CHRISftAN  RECORD.  125 


METHODIST   EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 

The  founder  of  this,  the  largest  body  of  Christians  in  the  United  States,  was  the 
Rev.  John  Wesley,  a  presbyter  in  the  Church  of  England,  who,  after  his  own  con- 
version,  there  can  be  no  doubt,  set  out  with  a  simple  desire  to  revive  pure  religion 
in  the  church  of  which  he  was  a  minister.  We  shall  not,  however,  here  enter  into 
his  personal  history,  with  which  most  are  familiar,  but  confine  ourselves  to  a  brief 
sketch  of  the  rise  in  the  United  States  of  the  vast  denomination  which  owes  its  ex- 
istence mainly  to  his  piety,  energy,  and  genius. 

In  the  fall  of  1739,  a  few  persons,  deeply  concerned  for  their  spirituality,  called  on 
Mr.  Wesley,  in  London,  for  advice,  which  he  freely  gave  them,  concluding  with  pray- 
er, and  cordially  inviting  them  to  come  again.  Others  calling  the  ensuing  day,  and 
this  continuing,  Mr.  W.  at  length  appointed  a  time  when  they  might  all  come  to* 
gether,  which  they  did  thereafter,  every  Thursday  evening.  To  these,  and  as  many 
more  as  desired  to  join  with  them,  he  gave  such  advice  as  he  judged  suitable.  The 
attendants  at  meetings  continually  increasing  in  number,  regulations  became  neces- 
sary ;  and  the  meetings  themselves  increasing  and  diffusing,  a  discipline  became  in- 
mdispensible ;  and,  lo  !  the  basis  of  the  present  wide-spread  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church. 

The  first  Methodist  Society  in  America  was  established,  in  the  city  of  New  York, 
in  1766.  A  few  pious  emigrants  from  Ireland,  who  had  been  members  of  a  Metho- 
dist Society  in  their  own  country,  landed  in  New  York,  accompanied  by  a  local 
preacher,  named  Philip  Embury.  Among  strangers,  and  with  no  established  reli- 
gious associates  with  whom  they  could  confer,  they  gradually  lost  their  interest  in 
religion,  till  they  had  well  nigli  forgotten  they  were  ever  acquainted  with  it.  In  this 
state  they  were,  found  the  ensuing  year  by  a  pious  and  zealous  sister,  just  arrived, 
who  suddenly  entered  the  room  where  they  were,  and  seizing  a  pack  of  cards  with 
which  some  of  them  were  playing,  throw  them  into  the  fire.  Then  expostulating 
with  them,  she  turned  to  Mr.  Embury,  and  exclaimed  "  Sir,  you  must  preach  to  us, 
or  we  shall  all  go  to  hell  together,  and  God  will  require  our  blood  at  your  hands"  I 
"I  cannot  preach,  for  I  have  neither  a  house  nor  a  congregation,"  said  Mr.  Embury, 
feeling  the  inconsistency  of  his  position.  "  Preach  in  your  own  house  first,  and  to 
our  company,"  replied  the  fair  reprover.  Mr.  Embury  promised,  and  he  preached 
"in  his  own  hired  house"  to  five  persons  only.  This,  it  is  believed,  was  the  first 
Methodist  sermon  preached  in  America. 

The  meetings  continuing  with  regularity,  the  attendants  increased,  and  their 
preaching  attracted  attention  till  they  found  it  necessary  to  rent  a  room  of  larger 
dimensions,  the  expense  of  which  was  paid  by  voluntary  contribution.  At  this 
time,  Captain  Webb,  a  British  officer,  stationed  at  Albany,  came  to  the  city,  and 
found  his  way  to  their  place  of  worship.  He  had  been  brought  to  a  knowledge  of 
the  truth  through  the  ministry  of  Mr.  Wesley,  at  Bristol,  England,  and  yearned  to 
help  make  known  that  truth  to  others.  His  appearance,  in  military  costume,  plunged 
the  little  band  into  alarm,  fearing  that  he  had  come  as  an  agent  of  the  government 
to  spy  out  their  proceedings  and  interrupt  the  meeting.  But  when  they  saw  him 
kneel  in  prayer  and  otherwise  participate  in  worship,  their  fear  was  changed  to  joy; 
and  shortly  discovering  that  he  was  of  like  faith  with  themselves,  they  invited  him  to 
preach.  He  consented.  The  novelty  of  a  military  preacher  soon  filled  the  room  to 
overflowing.  Mr.  Webb's  discourses  were  vigorous,  pungent,  and  effective.  Many 
were  awakened  and  not  a  few  converted.  The  additions  to  the  little  church,  and 
the  constantly  multiplying  auditors  rendering  a  still  larger  room  necessary,  a  rigging 
loft  in  William  street  was  rented  and  fitted  up.     Here  they  assembled  for  a  time 


126  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

under  the  preaching  of  Mr.  Embury,  occasionally  assisted  by  Mr.  "Webb,  who,  aftef 
a  season,  visited  various  parts  of  Long  Island,  and  subsequently  Philadelphia,  for 
the  purpose  of  preaching,  and  with  success.  Ere  long  the  rigging  loft  also  was  found 
too  small,  and  a  regular  house  of  worship  of  sufficient  dimensions  was  proposed. 
The  poverty  of  the  Society,  however,  barred  the  execution  of  this  idea,  and  the  so- 
ciety was  uncertain  what  step  to  take.  In  the  midst  of  its  embarrassment,  the  pious 
ladj-,  whose  zeal  has  already  been  mentioned,  in  auswer  to  prayer,  had  a  plan  sug- 
gested to  her  mind,  which  was  submitted  to  the  members  and  unanimously  adopted. 
A  subscription  paper  was  issued,  and  a  committee  waited  on  the  mayor  and  other 
opulent  citizens,  to  whom  they  explained  their  object.  The  latter  responded  with 
donations  as  liberal  as  they  were  unexpected,  and  the  society  purchased  several  lots 
in  John  street,  and  in  1768  erected  a  house  of  worship,  60  feet  in  length  and  42  in 
breadth,  which,  in  honor  of  their  founder,  they  termed  Wesley  chapel — the  first 
Methodist  meeting  house  erected  in  America.  While  it  was  in  process  of  construc- 
tion, feeling  the  need  of  a  more  competent  preacher,  the  church  addressed  a  letter  to 
Mr.  Wesley,  urging  the  propriety  of  ministerial  help.  Mr.  Wesley  complied,  sending 
them  two  preachers,  namely,  Richard  Boardman  and  Joseph  Pillbury,  and  fifty 
pounds,  as  a  token  of  brotherly  love.  These  were  the  first  regular  itinerant  preachers 
of  the  denomination  in  this  country.  Mr.  Boardman  taking  his  station  in  New  York, 
and  Mr.  Pillbury  at  Philadelphia,  both  entered  at  once  upon  their  work,  occasionally 
exchanging  with  one  another,  and  itinerating  into  the  country.  Wherever  they 
went,  .multitudes  flocked  to  hear  them,  and  many  were  led  to  seek  an  interest  in 
Christ 

Some  short  time  previous  to  their  arrival,  an  Irish  preacher,  Robert  Strawbridge, 
of  the  same  persuasion,  had  landed  at  Baltimore,  and  located  at  Frederick,  Md., 
where  he  immediately  commenced  preaching,  and  with  so  great  effect  that  numbers 
were  converted.  After  some  time,  Mr.  Pillbury,  of  Philadelphia,  paid  him  a  visit,  to 
strengthen  his  hands,  itinerating  previous  to  his  return  through  Virginia  and  North 
Carolina,  to  the  conversion  of  numbers,  and  the  formation  of  several  societies.  On 
his  return  to  Philadelphia,  he  found  a  well  organized  church  of  a  hundred  members, 
with  several  classes,  and  a  number  of  anxious  inquirers,  which  spoke  eloquently  for 
the  labors  of  Mr.  Webb. 

Mr.  Boardman,  too,  found  the  society  in  New  York  in  a  prosperous  state  under 
Mr.  Embury.  Other  local  preachers  occasionally  arrived,  and  were  employed  with 
various  success. 

In  1771,  Mr.  Wesley  sent  over  two  more  preachers — Mr.  Francis  Asbury  and  Mr. 
Richard  Wright.  The  former,  who  was  appointed  to  the  general  charge  of  the  work, 
commenced  a  more  extended  system  of  preaching,  itinerating  through  the  country, 
and  preaching  in  the  villages  and  cities.  His  energy  and  zeal  excited  a  general  emu- 
lation among  the  brethren,  who  now  threw  themselves  into  the  work  with  a  vigor 
and  success  hitherto  unexampled,  and  societies  were  established  in  New  York,  New 
Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  Virginia,  Georgia,  and  the  Carolinas. 

In  1773,  Mr.  Rankin  was  sent  over  to  supersede  Mr.  Asbury  as  general  superin- 
tendent, and  in  July  of  the  same  year  called  the  first  conference,  which  was  held  in 
the  city  of  Philadelphia,  at  which  time  there  were  10  travelling  preachers  and  1160 
members  iu  the  various  societies.  At  this  conference,  the  Weslcyan  plan  of  station- 
ing the  preachers,  and  taking  minutes  of  their  doings,  was  adopted.  At  the  second 
conference,  held  in  Philadelphia,  May  25,  of  the  following  year,  17  travelling  preach- 
ers and  2073  members  were  reported.  During  the  year — 17  7-1 — the  first  Methodist 
Church  in  the  city  of  Baltimore  was  built.  About  the  same  time,  Messrs.  Boardman 
and  Pillbury  returned  to  England — the  former,  who  had  endeared  himself  to  his 
people,  never  to  return;  the  latter,  whose  mind  had  undergone  a  change,  to  take 
orders  in  the  Episcopal  Church,  in  whose  service  he  remained  till  he  died.  Mr. 
Robert  Williams,  of  Maryland,  who  had  been  for  two  years  an  untiring  worker,  car-' 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  12  Y 

ried  tbo  doctrines  of  the  church  into  districts  of  Virginia  and  North  Carolina,  hitherto 
unexplored  by  the  preachers,  and  every  where  found  hearers  and  established  socie- 
ties. The  year  proved  indeed  a  prosperous  one,  and  the  next  conference  reported  19 
preachers  and  3148  members. 

Political  troubles  now  began  to  loom  up  in  the  horizon,  and  to  absorb  men's 
minds.  But  notwithstanding  this,  the  church,  in  1775,  had  a  large  and  wondrous 
revival.  At  this  time,  too,  native  preachers  appeared,  who,  in  eloquence,  energy, 
rind  success,  were  not  a  whit  behind  those  of  the  English  brethren ;  and  the  future 
of  the  denomination  was  bright  with  promise. 

But  the  young  church  was  not  permitted  to  go  on  without  the  hostility  of  other 
denominations,  to  many  of  whose  lukewarm  ministers  the  zeal  and  great  success  of 
her  preachers,  local  and  itinerary,  were  in  the  eyes  of  the  multitude,  a  constant  re- 
proach. Misrepresentation,  sneers,  whatever  could  lower  and  prejudice  men  against 
them,  were  enviously  heaped  upon  them  without  scruple.  But  persecution,  far  from 
retarding  their  energies,  only  inspired  them  with  greater  zeal  and  courage.  A  great 
blow  was,  however,  awaiting  them. 

In  1776,  after  the  opening  of  the  Revolution,  the  enemies  of  the  church  sought  to 
strike  her  a  fatal  wound,  by  charging  her  missionaries  with  being  Englishmen,  and 
favorable  to  their  country  and  king,  and  the  Methodists  themselves  as  traitorously 
under  their  influence.  The  charge,  industriously  and  pertinaciously  spread,  though 
seen  through  by  many,  still,  had  its  effect,  and  the  spirit  of  persecution  was  let  loose 
in  all  its  virulence.  The  English  preachers  made  an  effort  to  outlive  the  storm  by 
showing  that  all  their  energies  were  devoted  to  the  Divine  King ;  but  their  enemies 
were  too  active  and  numerous,  and  in  1777,  all  but  Mr.  Asbury  gave  up  the  struggle 
and  returned  to  England,  deeming  it  better  for  the  interests  of  the  church  to  retire, 
than,  by  remaining  to  be  the  innocent  cause  of  still  further  persecution  of  the  breth- 
ren. Mr.  Asbury  secluded  himself  from  public  observation,  till  1779,  at  the  house 
of  Judge  White,  a  pious  member  of  the  society,  in  Delaware,  only  occasionally  visit- 
ing his  friends,  and  preaching  privately. 

But  persecution  was  not  confined  to  the  English  preachers.  Freeborn  Garretson,  and 
other  native  ministers  were  mobbed,  pitilessly  whipped,  and  otherwise  maltreated,  for 
preaching.  Some  were  imprisoned,  others  hunted  from  place  to*place,  and  all  made  to 
feel  the  weight  and  power  of  the  jealous  hatred  of  their  enemies.  During  the  Revolu- 
tion, preaching  in  many  places,  as  in  New  York  and  Norfolk,  had  to  be  entirely 
abandoned,  while  others  were  only  partially  supplied.  Still,  in  the  face  of  these 
obstacles,  the  church  prospered.  Then,  as  now,  persecution,  instead  of  a  hindrance, 
proved  a  help.  Many  were  led  by  the  clamor  against  her,  and  the  war  upon  her 
preachers,  to  go  and  hear  for  themselves.  Others,  actuated  by  that  spirit  of  fair 
play,  which  inspires  the  brave  to  rush  to  the  rescue  of  the  oppressed,  and  to  insist 
upon  their  having  a  hearing,  came  forward,  not  so  much  to  hear  their  doctrines,  for 
which  they  cared  nothing,  as  to  protect  them  in  those  human  rights  for  which  the 
true  blood  of  the  nation  was  then  contending.  But  these  united  formed  audiences, 
and  on  these  the  preaching  had  such  effect,  that  at  the  conference  of  1783,  the  first 
after  the  war,  the  church  numbered  43  preachers,  and  13,740  members. 

The  year  1784  was  an  important  era  in  the  struggling  church.  Hitherto  the  min- 
isters had  been  considered  merely  as  lay  preachers,  and  as  such  had  not  authority  to 
administer  the  ordinances,  and  the  members  had  been  dependent  upon  the  clergy  of 
other  denominations  for  the  rite  of  baptism  and  the  sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper. 
This  had  led  to  so  much  dissatisfaction  that,  contrary  to  the  advice  of  Mr.  Asbury 
and  others,  a  few  of  the  Southern  preachers,  in  1770,  had  ordained  each  other,  and 
formed  a  par^v  to  whom  they  administered  the  ordinances.  These,  however,  at  the 
close  of  the  Revolution,  desisted  from  this  disorderly  method  of  proceeding,  and 
united  with  the  main  body  in  requesting  Mr.  Wesley  to  grant  them  relief.     Mr, 


128  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

Wesley,  who,  to  this  period,  bad  resisted  all  appeals  of  this  description,  from  a  desire 
not  to  interfere  with  the  asserted  rights  of  the  Church  of  England  in  America,  now 
feeling  that  that  church  no  longer  had  jurisdiction  in  the  country,  and  consequently 
that  to  set  apart  qualified  men  for  the  work  would  be  interfering  with  no  one's  pre- 
rogative, promptly  responded  to  the  request,  and  assisted  by  other  presbyters  of  the 
Episcopal  Church,  on  the  second  of  September,  consecrated  Thomas  Coke,  LL.  D.,  a 
minister  of  the  Church  of  England,  as  a  superintendent,  and  ordained  Richard 
Whatcoat  and  Thomas  Yasey  as  elders,  whom  he  sent  over  with  full  powers  and 
instructions.  On  their  arrival,  a  conference  was  called  at  Baltimore,  December  25th, 
to  consider  a  plan  for  a  church  organization,  prepared  by  Mr.  Wesley,  which  was 
unanimously  adopted.  The  conference  formally  recognized  Dr.  Coke  as  superintend- 
ent, and  unanimously  elected  Mr.  Asbury  as  joint  superintendent  with  him. 

On  the  26th,  the  latter  was  ordained  deacon  and  elder,  and,  on  the  27th,  consecrated 
by  Dr.  Coke,  assisted  by  several  elders.  Twelve  other  preachers  were  elected  and 
consecrated  deacons  and  elders,  and  three  to  the  order  of  deacon.  Mr.  "Wesley  had 
also  sent  an  abridgement  of  the  Book  of  Common  Prayer,  containing  forms  of  ordina- 
tions for  Deacons,  Elders,  and  Superintendents,  and  for  administering  Baptism  and 
the  Lord's  Supper,  together  with  twenty-fivo  articles  of  religion,  and  various  rules 
for  the  ministers  and  members  of  the  newly-formed  church,  all  of  which  were  adopted 
by  the  conference.  Thus  regularly  organized,  the  preachers  went  forth  to  their  work 
with  renewed  zeal,  and  were  every  where  received  as  accredited  ministers  of  the  Gos- 
pel. Extraordinary  success  followed  upon  their  labors.  New  circuits  were  formed, 
new  societies  established,  and  thousands  added  to  the  church. 

The  width  of  the  field  rendering  it  inconvenient  for  the  preachers  all  to  assemble 
annually  at  one  Conference,  several  Conferences  were  held  the  same  year,  at  suitable 
distances  apart,  at  which  the  Superintending  Bishop  presided,  ordaining  such  as  were 
elected  by  the  conference  to  the  order  of  deacons  or  elders,  and  appointing  the 
preachers  to  their  several  stations  or  circuits. 

It  eventually  being  found  that  the  Annual  Conferences  were  incompetent  to  form 
regulations  for  each  other  that  would  be  satisfactory  to  and  binding  on  the  whole,  and 
that  it  was  utterly  impracticable  for  all  to  come  together  at  one  time,  the  Conferences 
separately  agreed  that  a  General  Conference  should  be  held  once  in  four  years,  to  be 
composed  of  all  the  travelling  Elders  in  full  connection,  to  whom  should  solely  be 
committed  the  authority  for  making  regulations  for  the  church.  In  accordance  with 
this  agreement,  the  first  General  Conference  was  held  in  1792,  at  which  James 
O'Kelly,  a  presiding  elder  in  Virginia,  dissatisfied  with  the  Bishop's  power  of  station- 
ing the  preachers,  appealed  against  it  to  the  Conference.  The  appeal  created  much 
excitement  in  parts  of  Virginia  and  Xorth  Carolina,  which  sided  with  the  mover,  and 
on  its  rejection,  withdrew  from  the  church.  At  this  time,  the  travelling  preachers 
of  the  denomination  numbered  266,  and  the  members  65,980,  circuits  having  been 
formed,  and  societies  established  in  nearly  every  State  and  territory  of  the  Union,  and 
in  Upper  Canada,  the  whole  of  which  was  under  the  superintendence  of  Bishop  As- 
bury, who  annually  travelled  from  six  to  seven  thousand  miles,  preaching  generally 
every  day,  and  on  the  Sabbath  twice  or  thrice. 

In  1800,  Richard  Whatcoat  was  elected  and  ordained  a  Bishop,  and  shared  with 
Bishop  Asbury  the  superintendence  of  the  church.  In  1808,  Bishop  McHendree  was 
elected  and  consecrated. 

The  great  increase  of  preachers  and  members  rendering  it  inconvenient  even  for  all 
the  elders  to  assemble  in  General  Conference,  in  1808  it  was  decided  to  form  a  dele- 
gated General  Conference,  to  be  composed  of  not  less  than  one  for  every  seven  of  the 
members  of  the  Annual  Conferences,  nor  more  than  one  for  every  five,  to  be  chosen 
by  ballot  or  seniority.  At  the  present  time,  only  one  delegate  for  every  twenty-seven 
members  is  allowed. 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  129 

The  first  Delegated  Conference  met  in  1812,  in  New  York,  at  which  Bishops 
Asbury  and  McHendree  presided. 

In  1816,  Bishop  Asbury  died.  In  the  same  year,  at  the  General  Conference,  in 
Baltimore,  Enoch  George  and  Robert  R.  Roberts  were  elected  and  consecrated 
bishops. 

In  1819,  the  Missionary  Society  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  was  formed, 
for  the  purpose  of  assisting  the  several  conferences  to  extend  their  missionary  labors 
"  throughout  the  United  States,  and  elsewhere." 

In  1830,'  a  number  of  preachers  and  societies,  dissatisfied  with  the  non-representa- 
tion of  the  lay  members  iu  the  executive  government  of  the  church,  seceded,  and 
formed  a  separate  denomination,  under  the  name  of  the  Methodist  Protestant  Church. 

In  1841,  the  Southern  Conferences,  comprising  those  of  the  Slaveholding  States, 
feeling  aggrieved  at  the  action  of  the  General  Conference  concerning  slavery  and 
abolition,  seceded  in  a  body,  and  became  a  separate  denomination,  under  the  name 
of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  South.  This  was  a  great  blow  to  the  church,  but 
it,  perhaps,  was  best  for  both  parties,  who  are  now  each  in  denominational  health 
and  strength;  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  now  numbering  956,555  members, 
6502  traveling  and  7530  local  preachers;  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  South, 
699,161  members,  2771  travelling,  and  4984  local  preachers. 

Government. — The  government  of  the  church,  as  its  title  imports,  is  episcopal. 

A  society  has  for  its  moving  machinery — 1.  The  society  itself,  comprising  all  the 
members.  "  2.  The  classes,  usually  of  about  twelve  persons  each.  3.  Class  leaders, 
who  are  appointed  by  the  preachers,  and  whose  duty  it  is  to  see  each  member  of  his 
class  once  a  week,  and  receive  what  he  is  willing  to  give  for  the  support  of  the 
church  and  poor.  4.  The  stewards,  who  are  chosen  by  the  Quarterly  Meeting  Con- 
ference, and  have  charge  of  all  the  funds  collected  for  the  poor,  the  support  of  the 
ministry,  and  for  sacramental  purposes,  and  disburse  it  as  the  discipline  directs.  5. 
The  trustees,  who  are  selected  by  the  society,  and  have  charge  of  all  the  church 
property,  in  trust,  and  for  the  use  of  the  members  of  the  church.  6.  The  exhorters, 
who  are  licensed  by  the  Quarterly  Meeting  Conference,  and  have  the  privilege  of 
holding  meetings  for  exhortation  and  prayer.  7.  The  preacher,  who  if  also  a  deacon, 
has  authority  to  preach,  to  solemnise  marriages,  to  baptise,  to  bury  the  dead,  to  assist 
the  elder  in  administering  the  Lord's  Supper,  to  seek  after  the  sick  and  poor,  and  ad- 
minister to  their  comfort.  8.  The  elder,  who  is  ordained  to* that  office  by  the  bishop, 
has  full  authority  to  administer  all  the  ordinances. 

Preachers  are  authorised  to  preach,  but  not  to  baptise  or  administer  the  Lord'a 
Supper. 

Elders  have  charge  of  circuits  or  stations. 

Presiding  elders,  though  no  higher  in  order  than  elders,  have  charge  of  several 
circuits  or  stations,  called  collectively  a  district.     He  is  appointed  by  the  bishop. 

Bishops  are  elected  by  the  General  Conference,  to  which  they  are  responsible. 

A  class  leaders'  meeting  is  composed  of  the  class  leaders  of  a  given  circuit.  At 
these,  the  weekly  class  collections  are  paid  to  the  stewards,  probationers  are  re- 
ceived as  members,  or  dropped,  as  propriety  suggests,  inquiry  is  made  as  to  the 
state  of  the  classes,  delinquents  are  reported,  and  the  sick  and  poor  inquired  after. 

A  quarterly  meeting  conference  is  composed  of  all  the  travelling  and  local  preach- 
ers, exhorters,  stewards,  and  leaders  of  a  circuit.  Here  exhorters  and  local  preachers 
are  licensed,  preachers  recommended  to  the  annual  conference  for  the  travelling 
ministry,  and  local  preachers  as  suitable  for  ordination  as  deacons  or  elders.  There, 
too,  appeals  are  heard  from  members  aggrieved  at  the  decision  of  church  committees. 

An  annual  conference  is  composed  of  all  the  travelling  preachers,  deacons,  and 
elders,  of  a  specified  district.  It  has  jurisdiction  over  all  its  members,  and  may  try, 
acquit,  expel,  or  locate  them,  as  the  Discipline  provides.     It  examines  the  character 

9     v 


130  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD 

of  all  travelling  preachers  within  its  bounds :  admits,  continues  on  trial,  or  drops, 
candidates  for  the  ministry ;  hears  and  decides  appeals  of  local  preachers,  and  elects 
deacons  and  elders. 

The  General  Conference,  the  highest  court  of  the  church,  meets  quadrennially, 
and  is  composed  of  one  delegate  for  every  twenty-seven  members  of  the  annual 
conferences.  It  has  power  to  revise  any  part  of  the  Discipline,  and  make  any  new 
regulation,  not  prohibited  by  certain  restrictions,  the  exigencies  of  the  occasion  may 
require ;  to  elect  book  stewards,  editors,  the  secretary  or  secretaries  of  the  Mission- 
ary society  of  the  church ;  to  elect,  try,  acquit,  censure,  and  condemn  bishops ;  to 
hear  and  decide  appeals  of  preachers  from  the  decisions  of  annual  conferences ;  to 
review  the  acts  of  conferences  generally  ;  and  to  examine  into  the  administrations 
of  bishops. 

Preachers. — A  person  desiring  to  become  a  preacher  must  first  be  recommended 
by  a  class  of  laymen ;  then  by  the  quarterly  conference ;  and  before  admission  into 
a  conference  as  a  travelling  preacher,  must  have  preached  two  years  on  trial,  and 
passed  an  annual  literary  and  theological  examination  before  a  conference  committee, 
which  examination  is  continued  for  four  yea'-s  before  ordination  a3  an  elder. 

Salaries. — Each  preacher  is  allowed  $100  a  year  and  his  travelling  expenses;  if 
married,  $100  a  year  for  his  wife;  $16  per  year  for  each  child  under  seven  years; 
and  $2<!  a  year  for  each  child  over  seven  and  under  fourteen.  In  addition  to  this, 
a  committee  of  the  quarterly  meeting  conference  decides  what  farther  allowance 
shall  be  made  for  his  fuel  and  table  expenses. 

The  allowance  to  the  bishop  is  the  same.  A  committee  of  the  annual  conference 
within  whose  bounds  he  resides,  decides  the  amount  of  his  family  expenses,  which 
is  paid  out  of  the  avails  of  the  Book  Concern. 

Salaries  are  raised  by  the  voluntary  contributions  of  the  people  among  whom  the 
preachers  labor.  For  this  purpose,  a  weekly  collection  is  made  in  all  the  church 
classes,  and  a  monthly  public  collection  in  all  the  congregations;  and  to  make  up  the 
deficiencies  of  those  who  labor  in  poor  circuits,  a  yearly  collection  is  made  in  every 
congregation. 

The  only  funds  of  the  church  are  the  income  of  the  Charter  Fund  and  the  profits  of 
the  Book  Concern,  which  are  exclusively  devoted  to  the  disciplinary  allowance  of  the 
bishops,  the  relief  of  supernumerary  and  superannuated  preachers,  and  of  their  wid- 
ows and  orphans. 

Book  Concern.— The  Book  Concern  was  established  to  disseminate  good  books  and 
other  publications.  The  first  was  commenced  in  Philadelphia,  in  1789,  with,  for  its 
only  capital,  six  hundred  dollars,  loaned  to  it  by  Rev.  John  Dickenson,  the  first  book 
steward.  The  first  issue  was  a  small  devotional  work  by  Thomas  A  Kempis;  the 
Discipline,  Hymn  Book,  Saints'  Rest,  &c,  followed.  Mr.  Dickenson  continued  as 
book  steward  till  his  death  in  1798,  and  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Ezekiel  Cooper.  In 
1804,  the  Concern  was  removed  to  Xew  York.  In  1820,  a  Branch  was  established 
at  Cincinnati,  for  the  sale  of  the  publications  of  the  Xew  York  Concern,  and  the  re- 
publication of  certain  of  its  issues.  In  1836,  the  Xew  York  Concern  was  destroyed 
by  fire,  but  was  promptly  recommenced  with  $25,000  recovered  of  the  insurance 
companies.  Since  its  establishment,  it  has  paid  to  the  conferences  for  poor  preach- 
ers, their  widows  and  orphans,  to  the  Church  South,  by  order  of  the  court,  and  for 
other  objects,  by  order  of  the  General  Conference,  more  than  $1,000,000.  It  has 
among  its  long  list  of  valuable  publications  many  of  the  best  works  on  theology,  his- 
tory, science,  and  philosophy,  in  the  language.  It  has  also  the  largest  and,  aU  things 
considered,  the  cheapest  list  of  Sabbath  school  books  published  in  the  world.  It 
publishes,  in  addition,  a  large  weekly  journal,  edited  with  superior  ability,  entitled 
The  Christian  Advocate  and  Journal,  a  Quarterly  Review,  and  a  semi-monthly  called 
The  Sunday  School  Advocate. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  131 

'The  Cincinnati  concern  publishes,  in  addition  to  several  valuable  and  important 
miscellaneous  works,  a  weekly  religious,  high-toned  journal,  called  The  Western  Chris- 
tian Advocate,  a  monthly  termed  The  Ladies  Repository,  and  several  works  in  their 
language  for  the  German  population. 

Education. — The  church  has  under  its  patronage  24  Colleges  and  Universities,  2 
Biblical  Institutes,  and  119  Seminaries  and  Academies. 

It  has  also  a  Missionary  Society,  whose  annual  receipts  range  from  $200,000  and 
upward,  and  which  has  missions  in  Africa,  China,  Germany,  India,  South  America, 
Sweden,  Norway,  Denmark,  Bulgaria,  and  the  Sandwich  Islands,  and  in  the  United 
States  among  the  Indian,  German,  Scandinavian,  French,  and  Welsh  populations ;  a 
Sunday  School  Union,  and  a  Tract  Society. 

Doctrines. — The  following  articles  of  faith,  the  same  in  all  divisions  of  the  Metho- 
dist Church,  are  declared,  by  the  restrictive  regulations  that  limit  the  powers  of  the 
General  Conference,  to  be  unalterable. 

1.  Of  faith  in  the  Holy  Trinity. — There  is  but  one  living  and  true  God,  everlasting, 
without  body  or  parts,  of  infinite  power,  wisdom,  and  goodness,  the  maker  and  pre- 
servor  of  all  things,  visible  and  invisible.  And  in  unity  of  this  Godhead  there  are 
three  persons  of  one  substance,  power,  and  eternity — the  Father,  the  Son,  and  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

2*  Of  the  Word,  or  Son  of  God,  who  was  made  very  Man. — The  Son,  who  is  the 
Word  of  the  Father,  the  very  and  eternal  God,  of  one  substance  with  the  Father, 
took  man's  nature  in  the  womb  of  the  blessed  Virgin;  so  that  two  whole  and  perfect 
natures,  that  is  to  say,  the  Godhead  and  manhood,  were  joined  together  in  one  per- 
son, never  to  be  divided,  whereof  is  one  Christ,  very  God  and  very  man,  who  truly 
suffered,  was  crucified,  dead  and  buried,  to  reconcile  his  Father  to  us,  and  to  be  a 
sacrifice,  not  only  for  original  guilt,  but  also  for  actual  sins  of  men. 

3.  Of  the  Resurrection  of  Christ. — Christ  did  truly  rise  again  from  the  dead,  and 
took  again  his  body,  with  all  things  appertaining  to  the  perfection  of  man's  nature, 
wherewith  he  ascended  into  heaven,  and  there  sitteth  until  he  return  to  judge  all 
men  at  the  last  day. 

4.  Of  tlie  Holy  Ghost. — Tbe  Holy  Ghost,  proceeding  from  the  Father  and  the  Son, 
is  of  one  substance,  majesty,  and  glory  with  the  Father  and  the  Son,  very  and  eter- 
nal.God. 

5.  The  sufficiency  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  for  Salvation. — The  Holy  Scriptures  con- 
tain all  things  necessary  to  salvation ;  so  that  whatsoever  is  not  read  therein,  nor 
may  be  proved  thereby,  is  not  to  be  required  of  any  man,  that  it  should  be  believed 
as  an  article  of  faith,  or  be  thought  requisite  or  necessary  to  salvation.  By  the  name 
of  the  Holy  Scripture  we  do  understand  those  canonical  books  of  the  Old  and  New 
Testament,  of  whose  authority  was  never  any  doubt  in  the  church. 

The  Names  of  the  Canonical  Books. 

Genesis,  Exodus,  Leviticus,  Numbers,  Deuteronomy,  Joshua,  Judges,  Ruth,  The 
First  Book  of  Samuel,  The  Second  Book  of  Samuel,  The  First  Book  of  Kings,  The 
Second  Book  of  Kings,  The  First  Book  of  Chronicles,  The  Second  Book  of  Chronicles, 
The  Book  of  Ezra,  The  Book  of  Nehemiah,  The  Book  of  Esther,  The  Book  of  Job, 
The  Psalms,  The  Proverbs,  Ecclesiastes  or  the  Preacher,  Cantica  or  Songs  of  Solo- 
mon, Four  Prophets  the  Greater,  Twelve  Prophets  the  Less :  all  the  books  of  the 
New  Testament,  as  they  are  commonly  received,  we  do  receive  and  account  canon- 
ical. ■ 

6.  Of  the  Old  Testament. — The  Old  Testament  is  not  contrary  to  the  New;  for 
both  in  the  Old  and  New  Testament  everlasting  life  is  offered  to  mankind  by  Christr 


132  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

who  is  the  only  Mediator  between  God  and  man,  being  both  God  and  man.  Where- 
fore they  are  not  to  be  heard  who  feign  that  the  old  fathers  did  look  only  for  transi- 
tory promises.  Although  the  law  given  by  God  from  Moses,  as  touching  ceremonies 
and  rite?,  doth  not  bind  Christians,  nor  ought  the  civil  precepts  thereof  of  necessity 
be  received  in  any  commonwealth :  yet,  notwithstanding,  no  Christian  whatsoever  is 
free  from  the  obedience  of  the  commandments  which  are  called  moral. 

7.  Of  Original,  or  Birth  Sin. — Original  sin  standeth  not  m  the  following  of  Adam 
(as  the  Pelagians  do  vainly  talk),  but  it  is  the  corruption  of  the  nature  of  every  man, 
that  naturally  is  engendered  of  the  offspring  of  Adam,  whereby  man  is  very  far  gone 
from  original  righteousness,  and  of  his  own  nature  inclined  to  evil  and  that  continu- 
ally. 

8.  Of  Free  Will. — The  condition  of  man  after  the  fall  of  Adam  is  such,  that  he  can- 
not turn  and  prepare  himself,  by  his  own  natural  strength  and  works,  to  faith,  and 
calling  upon  God ;  wherefore  we  have  no  power  to  do  good  works,  pleasant  and  ac- 
ceptable to  God,  without  the  grace  of  God  by  Christ  preventing  us,  that  we  may  have 
a  good  will,  and  working  with  us,  when  we  have  that  good  will. 

9.  Of  the  Justification  of  Man. — We  are  accounted  righteous  before  God,  only 
for  the  merit  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ  by  faith,  and  not  for  our  own 
works  or  deserving.-; — wherefore,  that  we  are  justified  by  faith  only,  is  a  most  whole- 
some doctrine,'  and  very  full  of  comfort. 

10.  Of  Good  Works. — Although  good  works,  which  are  the  fruits  of  faith,  and 
follow' after  justification,  cannot  put  away  our  sins,  and  endure  the  severity  of  God's 
judgments:  yet  they  are  pleasing  and  acceptable  to  God  in  Christ,  and  spring  out 
of  a  true  and  lively  faith,  insomuch  that  by  them  a  lively  faith  may  be  as  evidently 
known  as  a  tree  is  discerned  by  its  fruit. 

11.  Of  Works  of  Supererogation. — Voluntary  works,  besides,  over  and  above  God's 
commandments,  which  are  called  works  of  supererogation,  cannot  be  taught  without 
arroganey  and  impiety.  For  by  them  men  do  declare  that  they  do  not  only  render 
unto  God  as  much  as  they  are  bound  to  do,  but  that  they  do  more  for  his  sake  than 
of  bounden  duty  is  required ;  whereas  Christ  saith  plainly,  When  ye  have  done  all 
that  is  commanded  you,  say,  Wje  are  unprofitable  servants. 

12.  Of  Sin  after  Justification. — Not  every  sin  willingly  committed  after  justifica- 
tion is  the  sin  against  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  unpardonable.  Wherefore,  the  grant  of 
repentance  is  not  to  be  denied  to  such  as  fall  into  sin  after  justification:  after  wo 
have  received  the  Holy  Ghost,  we  may  depart  from  grace  given,  and  fall  into  sin, 
and,  by  the  grace  of  God,  rise  again  and  amend  our  lives.  And,  therefore,  they  are 
to  be  condemned  who  say  they  can  no  more  sin  as  long  as  they  live  here;  or  deny 
the  place  of  forgiveness  to  such  as  truly  repent. 

13.  Of  the  Church. — The  visible  church  of  Christ  is  a  congregation  of  faithful  men, 
in  which  the  pure  word  of  God  is  preached,  and  the  sacraments  duly  administered 
according  to  Christ's  ordinance  in  all  those  things  that  of  necessity  are  requisite  to 
the  same. 

14.  Of  Purgatory. — The  Romish  doctrine  concerning  purgatory,  pardon,  worship- 
ping, and  adoration,  as  well  of  images,  as  of  relics,  and  also  invocation  of  saints,  is  a 
foul  thing,  vainly  invented,  and  grounded  upon  no  warrant  of  scripture,  but  repiu  f 
nant  to  the  word  of  God. 

15.  Of  speaking  in  the  congregation  in  such  a  tongue"as  the  people  understand. — It  is 
a  thing  plainly  repugnant  to  the  word  of  God,  and  the  custom  of  the  primitive  church, 
to  have  public  prayer  in  the  church,  or  to  minister  the  sacraments,  in  a  tongue  not 
understood  by  the  people. 

1G.  Of  the  Sacraments. — Sacraments,  ordained  of  Christ,  are  not  only  badges  or 
tokens  of  Christian  men's  profession ;  but  rather  they  are  certain  signs  of  grace,  and

God's  good  will  towards  us,  by  which  he  doth  work  invisibly  in  us,  and  doth  not 
only  quicken,  but  also  strengthen  and  confirm  our  faith  in  him. 

There  are  two  sacraments  ordained  of  Christ  our  Lord  in  the  gospel ;  that  is  to 
say,  Baptism  and  the  Supper  of  the  Lord. 

Those  five  commonly  called  sacraments;  that  is  to  say,  confirmation,  penance, 
orders,  matrimony,  and  extreme  unction,  are  not  to  be  counted  for  sacraments  of  the 
gospel,  being  such  as  have  partly  grown  out  of  the  corrupt  following  of  the  Apostles 
— and  partly  are  states  of  life  allowed  in  the  scriptures,  but  yet  have  not  the  like 
nature  of  Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper,  because  they  have  not  any  visible  sign,  or 
ceremony  ordained  of  God. 

The  sacraments  were  not  ordained  of  Christ  to  be  gazed  upon  or  to  be  carried 
about ;  but  that  we  should  duly  use  them.  And  in  such  only  as  worthily  receive 
the  same,  they  have  a  wholesome  effect  or  operation ;  but  they  that  receive  them 
unworthily  purchase  to  themselves  condemnation,  as  St.  Paul  saith.  (1  Cor.  xi, 
29.) 

17.  Of  Baptism. — Baptism  is  not  only  a  sign  of  profession,  and  mark  of  difference, 
whereby  Christians  are  distinguished  from  others  that  are  not  baptized :  but  it  is 
also  a  sign  of  regeneration,  or  the  new  birth.  The  baptism  of  young  children  is  to 
be  retained  in  the  church. 

18.  Of  the  Lord's  Supper. — The  Supper  of  the  Lord  is  not  only  a  sign  of  the  love 
that  Christians  ought  to  have  among  themselves  one  to  another,  but  rather  is  a 
sacrament  of  our  redemption  by  Christ's  death :  insomuch  that,  to  such  as  rightly, 
worthily,  and  with  faith  receive  the  same,  the  bread  which  we  break  is  a  partaking 
of  the  body  of  Christ ;  and  likewise  the  cup  of  blessing  is  a  partaking  of  the  blood  of 
Christ. 

Transubstantiation,  or  the  change  of  the  substance  of  bread  and  wine  in  the  Sup- 
per of  our  Lord,  cannot  be  proved  by  Holy  Writ,  but  it  is  repugnant  to  the  plain 
words  of  scripture,  overthroweth  the  nature  of  a  sacrament,  and  hath  given  occasion 
to  many  superstitions. 

The  body  of  Christ  is  given,  taken,  and  eaten  in  the  Supper,  only  after  a  hea- 
venly and  spiritual  manner.  And  the  means,  whereby  the  body  of  Christ  is  received 
and  eaten  in  the  Supper,-  is  Faith. 

The  sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper  was  not  by  Christ's  ordinance  reserved,  car- 
ried about,  lifted  up,  or  worshipped. 

19.  Of  both  kinds. — The  cup  of  the  Lord  is  not  to  be  denied  to  the  lay  people  ;  for 
both  the  parts  of  the  Lord's  Supper,  by  Christ's  ordinance  and  commandment,  ought 
to  be  administered  to  all  Christians  alike. 

20.  Of  the  one  Oblationof  Christ  finished  upon  the  Cross. — The  offering  of  Christ,  once 
made,  is  that  perfect  redemption,  propitiation,  and  satisfaction  for  all  the  sins  of  the 
whole  world,  both  original  and  actual ;  and  there  is  none  other  satisfaction  for  sin 
but  that  alone.  Wherefore  the  sacrifice  of*  masses,  in  the  which  it  is  commonly  said, 
that  the  priest  doth  offer  Christ  for  the  quick  and  the  dead,  to  have  remission  of  pain 
or  guilt,  is  a  blasphemous  fable,  and  dangerous  deceit. 

21.  Of  the  Marriage  of  Ministers. — The  ministers  of  Christ  are  not  commanded  by 
God's  law  either  to  vow  the  estate  of  single  life,  or  to  abstain  /"rom  marriage ;  there- 
fore it  is  lawful  for  them,  as  for  all  other  Christians,  to  marry  at  their  own  discretion, 
as  they  shall  judge  the  same  to  serve  best  to  godliness. 

22.  Of  the  Rites  and  Ceremonies  of  Churches. — It  is  not  necessary  that  rites  and  cere- 
monies should  in  all  places  be  the  same,  or  exactly  alike :  for  they  have  been  always 
different,  and  may  be  changed  according  to  the  diversity  of  countries,  times,  and 
men's  manners,  so  that  nothing  be  ordained  against  God's  word.  Whosoever, 
through  his  private  judgment,  willingly  and  purposely  doth  openly  break  the  rites 
and  ceremonies  of  the  church  to  which  he  belongs,  which  are  not  repugnant  to  tho 


134  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

word  of  God,  and  are  ordained  and  approved  by  common  authority,  ought  to  be  re- 
buked openly,  that  others  may  fear  to  do  the  like,  as  one  that  ofifendeth  against  the 
common  order  of  the  church,  and  woundeth  the  consciences  of  weak  brethren. 

Every  particular  church  may  ordain,  change,  or  abolish  rites  and  ceremonies,  so 
that  all  things  may  be  done  to  edification. 

23.  Of  the  Rulers  of  the  United  States  of  America. — The  president,  the  congress,  the 
general  assemblies,  the  governors,  and  the  councils  of  state,  as  the  delegates  of  the 
people,  are  the  rulers  of  the  United  States  of  America,  according  to  the  division  of 
power  made  to  them  by  the  constitution  of  the  United  States,  and  by  the  constitu- 
tions of  their  respective  states.  And  the  said  states  are  a  sovereign  and  independent 
nation,  and  ought  not  to  be  subject  to  any  foreign  jurisdiction.* 

24.  Of  Christian  Men's  Goods. — The  riches  and  goods  of  Christians  are  not  com- 
mon, as  touching  the  right,  title,  and  possession  of  the  same,  as  some  do  falsely 
boast.  Notwithstanding,  every  man  ought,  of  such  things  as  he  possesseth,  liber- 
ally to  give  alms  to  the  poor,  accordiug  to  his  ability. 

25.  Of  a  Christian  Man's  Oath. — As  we  confess  that  vain  and  rash  swearing  is 
forbidden  Christian  men  by  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  and  James  his  apostle,  so  we 
iudge  that  the  Christian  religion  doth  not  prohibit,  but  that  a  man  may  swear  when 
the  magistrate  requireth  in  a  cause  of  faith  and  charity,  so  it  be  done  according  to 
the  prophet's  teaching,  in  justice,  judgment,  and  truth. 


METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH,  SOUTH? 

This,  the  second  largest  body  of  Methodists  in  the  United  States,  was  formed  in 
1845,  by  a  division  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  in  accordance  with  resolutions 
of  the  General  Conference  held  in  New  York  in  May  1844. 

High  ground  having  previously  been  taken  by  the  General  Conference  on  the  subject 
of  slavery,  the  delegates  to  it  of  that  year  from  the  Kentucky,  Missouri,  Holston, 
Tennessee,  North  Carolina,  Memphis,  Arkansas,  Virginia,  Mississippi,  Texas,  Alabama, 
Georgia,  and  South  Carolina  Annual  Conferences,  June  11th,  issued  an  address  to  the 
ministers  and  members  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in  the  slaveholding  States 
and  Territories,  setting  forth  that  the  action  of  the  late  General  Conference  on  slavery 
indicated  that  the  legislative,  judicial,  and  administrative  action  thereafter,  of  the 
General  Conference,  as  thus  constituted,  would  always  be  extremely  hurtful,  if 
not  ruinous  to  the  Southern  portion  of  the  church,  and  proposing  a  plan  of  formal 
peaceful  separation,  as  a  distinct  body,  to  which  the  General  Conference  had 
consented. 

The  Southern  Conferences,  as  they  met  the  following  year,  responded  favorably 
to  the  address  and  called  for  a  convention  of  delegates  from  the  Annual  Convention  to 
meet  them  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  in  May,  1845.  At  this  convention,  it  was  resolved  that 
it  was  right,  expedient,  and  necessary  to  erect  the  conferences  they  represented  into 
a  distinct  ecclesiastical  connexion,  adopting  the  discipline  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church,  comprehending  the  doctrines  and  entire  moral,  ecclesiastical,  and  economical 
rules  and  regulations,  except  only  such  verbal  alterations  in  the  discipline  as  might 

*  As  far  as  it  respects  civil  affairs,  we  believe  it  the  duty  of  Christians,  and  especially  all 
Christian  ministers,  to  be  subject  to  the  supreme  authority  of  the  country  where  they  may  reside, 
and  to  use  all  laudable  means  to  enjoin  obedience  to  the  powers  that  be  ;  and  therefore  it  is  ex- 
pected that  all  our  preachers  and  people,  who  may  be  under  the  British  or  any  other  government, 
will  behave  themselves  as  peaceable  and  orderly  subjects, 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  135 

be  necessary  to  a  distinct  organization,  and  to  take  the  name  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church,  South. 

The  separation  was  harmoniously  effected ;  but  in  the  division  of  the  church  prop- 
erty of  the  Book  Concern,  a  difficulty  arose,  which  was  finally  adjusted  by  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  ordering  an  equitable  division  to  be  made. 

The  church  has  a  Missionary  Society,  and  a  flourishing  Book  Concern  at  Nashville, 
where,  in  addition  to  miscellaneous  works  on  science,  theology,  history,  and 
philosophy,  it  issues  a  weekly  journal  of  marked  ability,  called  the  Nashvhle 
Christian  Advocate,  and  a  periodical  caUed  The  Home  Circle,  both  of  which  circu- 
late widely, 

Its  white  members  exceed  half  a  million,  while  its  colored  members  number  nearly, 
if  not  quite  200,000. 

Its  missionary  operations  are  very  extensive,  aud  include  the  whole  colored  field 
of  the  South,  the  Indian  population  of  the  South  and  South-West,  and  the  China 
field. 

At  the  last  published  report  it  had  six  bishops,  2,408  travelling,  and  4,984  local 
preachers,  and  a  total  membership  of  nearly  three-fourths  of  a  million. 

It  is  a  Power. 


METHODIST  PROTESTANT  CHURCH 

The  Methodist  Protestant  Church  was  formed  in  1830,  of  a  secession  of  about  5000 
persons  from  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church. 

"When,  in  1784,  the  Methodist  societies  of  the  United  States  were  formed  into  a 
denomination  independent  of  Mr.  Wesley,  the  government  was  vested  in  the  itinerant 
ministry,  to  the  exclusion  of  all  other  classes  of  ministry,  and  of  the  private  members. 
At  subsequent  General  Conferences  much  dissatisfaction  was  manifested  at  this,  and 
a  respectable  minority  made  vigorous  efforts  to  effect  improvements,  but  without 
material  success.  These  efforts  were  perseveringly  continued,  for»the  purpose  of  in- 
forming the  people  of  the  peculiar  character  of  the  government  which  the  organizers 
of  the  denomination  had  placed  over  them  without  their  concurrence,  and  for  rousing 
up  the  church,  if  possible,  into  demanding  a  fair  share  of  lay  representation  in  the 
conferences.  The  efforts  of  the  reformers  were  not  wholly  in  vain.  Numerous  peti- 
tions were  presented  to  the  General  Conference,  praying  for  lay  and  clerical  repre- 
sentation, without,  however,  eliciting  any  response. 

In  1824,  a  meeting  of  the  reformers  was  held  in  Baltimore,  at  which  it  was  resolved 
to  publish  a  periodical,  for  the  purpose  of  discussing  "the  mutual  rights  of  the  min- 
isters and  members  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,"  to  form  the  meeting  into  a 
Union  Society,  to  recommend  the  formation  of  similar  societies  throughout  the 
country,  and  to  suggest  to  preachers  the  propriety  of  ascertaining  how  many  of  their 
congregations  were  favorable  to  a  change  in  her  government. 

This  energetic  movement  was  resisted  by  the  church  with  all  the  weight  of  her 
authority,  and  only  a  few  raised  the  banner  of  reform.  In  Tenessee,  fourteen  persons 
forming  a  Union  Society,  were  promptly  expelled.  This  checked  others ;  but  the 
leaven  of  disaffection,  if  silently,  was  none  the  less,  steadily,  working. 

Early  in  1826,  the  Baltimore  Union  Society  urged  the  propriety  of  State  Conven- 
tions, to  inquire  into  the  expediency  of  one  united  petition,  for  general  representation 
to  the  General  Conference  in  1828,  and  to  elect  delegates  to  a  General  Convention 


136  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

for  that  purpose.  The  proposition  was  acted  upon,  and  the  delegates  elected  ;  and 
matters  were  looking  bright  for  the  reformers,  when,  in  1827,  several  members  in 
Granville,  North  Carolina,  and  11  ministers  and  24  laymen  in  Baltimore,  were  ex- 
pelled, for  being  members  of  Union  Societies. 

In  November,  1827,  the  proposed  convention,  composed  of  clerical  and  lay  dele- 
gates, met  in  Baltimore,  and  petitioned  the  General  Conference  for  a  government 
more  in  accordance  with  the  mutual  rights  of  the  ministers  and  the  people.  The 
conference  replied  in  a  circular,  denying  the  memorial,  and  claiming  for  the  itinerant 
ministry  an  exclusive  Divine  right  to  the  power  they  had  exercised  from  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  church  in  1784.  Shortly  after  this  reply,  several  reformers  in  Cin- 
cinnati, Lynchburg,  and  other  places,  were  expelled  for  being  members  of  Union 
Societies. 

Matters  now  looking  hopeless  for  their  cherished  object,  the  reformers  now  with- 
drew, in  considerable  numbers,  from  the  church,  in  different  parts  of  the  United 
States,  and  called  another  general  convention,  to  assemble  in  Baltimore,  November 
12th,  1828,  at  which  were  drawn  up  seventeen  Articles  of  Association,  to  serve  as  a 
provisional  government  until  a  constitution  and  book  of  discipline  could  be  prepared 
by  a  subsequent  convention,  to  be  held  in  1830. 

This  convention  met  in  Baltimore,  November  2d,  1830,  and  continued  in  session 
till  the  23d.  Rev.  Francis  Waters,  D.D.,  of  Baltimore,  was  chosen  President;  Mr. 
Wm.  C.  Lipscomb,  of  Georgetown,  D.  C,  Secretary,  and  Wm.  S.  Stockton,  of  Phila- 
delphia, Assistant  Secretary.  The  convention  formed  and  adopted  a  constitution 
and  discipline,  and  the  members  represented  unanimously  resolved  thenceforth  to  be 
known  as  the  Methodist  Protestant  Church. 

The  following  preamble  and  articles,  which  precede  the  constitution,  sufficiently 
explain  the  principles  of  the  church  : 

Principles. — "  We,  the  representatives  of  the  Associated  Methodist  churches,  in 
general  convention  assembled,  acknowledge  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  as  the  only  head 
of  the  Church,  and  the  word  of  God  as  the  sufficient  rule  of  faith  and  practice,  in  all 
things  pertaining  to  godliness ;  and  being  fully  persuaded,  that  the  representative 
form  of  church  government  is  the  most  scriptural,  best  suited  to  our  condition,  and 
most  congenial  with  our  views  and  feelings  as  fellow-citizens  with  the  saints,  and  of 
the  household  of  God ;  and  whereas  a  written  constitution,  establishing  the  form  of 
government,  and  securing  to  the  ministers  and  members  of  the  church  their  rights 
and  privileges,  is  the  best  safeguard  of  Christian  liberty :  We,  therefore,  trusting  in 
the  protection  of  Almighty  God,  and  acting  in  the  name  and  by  the  authority  of  our 
constituents,  do  ordain  and  establish,  and  agree  to  be  governed  by  the  following  ele- 
mentary principles  and  constitution : 

1.  "A  Christian  church  is  a  society  of  believers  in  Jesus  Christ,  and  is  a  divine  in- 
stitution. 

2.  "  Christ  is  the  only  Head  of  the  Church ;  and  the  word  of  God  the  only  rule  of 
faith  and  conduct. 

3.  "No  person  who  loves  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  obeys  the  gospel  of  God,  our 
Saviour,  ought  to  be  deprived  of  church  membership. 

4.  "  Every  man  has  an  inalienable  right  to  private  judgment,  in  matters  of  religion; 
and  an  equal  right  to  express  his  opinion,  in  any  way  which  will  not  violate  the  laws 
of  God,  or  the  rights  of  his  fellow-men. 

5.  "  Church  trials  should  be  conducted  on  gospel  principles  only ;  and  no  minister 
or  member  should  be  excommunicated  except  for  immorality  ;  the  propagation  of  un- 
christian doctrines  ;  or  for  the  neglect  of  duties  enjoined  by  the  word  of  God. 

6.  "  The  pastoral  or  ministerial  office  and  duties  are  of*  divine  appointment ;  and 
all  elders  in  the  church  of  God  are  equal ;  but  ministers  are  forbidden  to  be  lords 
Over  God's  heritage,  or  to  have  dominion  over  the  faith  of  the  saints. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  13  Y 

V.  "  The  ohurch  has  a  right  to  form  and  enforce  such  rules  and  regulations  only, 
as  are  in  accordance  with  the  Holy  Scriptures,  and  may  be  necessary  or  have  a  ten- 
dency to  carry  into  effect  the  great  system  of  practical  Christianity. 

8.  "  Whatever  power  may  be  necessary  to  the  formation  of  rules  and  regulations, 
is  inherent  in  the  ministers  and  members  of  the  church ;  but  so  much  of  that  power 
may  be  delegated,  from  time  to  time,  upon  a  plan  of  representation,  as  they  may 
judge  necessary  and  proper. 

9.  "  It  is  the  duty  of  all  ministers  and  members  of  the  church  to  maintain  godliness, 
and  to  oppose  all  moral  evil. 

10.  "It  is  obligatory  on  ministers  of  the  gospel  to  be  faithful  in  the  discharge  of 
their  pastoral  and  ministerial  duties ;  and  it  is  also  obligatory  on  the  members,  to 
esteem  ministers  highly  for  their  work's  sake,  and  to  render  them  a  righteous  com- 
pensation for  their  labors. 

11.  "The  church  ought  to  secure  to  all  her  official  bodies  the  necessary  authority 
for  the  purposes  of  good  government ;  but  she  has  no  right  to  create  any  distinct  or 
independent  sovereignties." 

Government. — The  government  of  the  church  is  wholly  representative.  The  an- 
nual conferences  are  composed  of  all  the  ordained  itinerant  ministers ;  elect  a  presi- 
dent annually,  and  are  authorised  to  elect  to  orders,  decide  on  appeals  from  the 
decision  of  committees  appointed  to  try  ministers,  station  ministers,  preachers  and 
missionaries,  regulate  the  boundaries  of  circuits  and  stations,  and  make  necessary 
rules  for  defraying  the  expense  of  itinerant  ministers,  preachers,  and  their  families. 

The  quarterly  conferences  are  the  immediate  official  meetings  of  the  circuits,  and 
are  composed  of  the  trustees,  ministers,  preachers,  exhorters,  leaders,  and  stewards 
in  the  circuit.  They  examine  the  official  character  of  all  the  members,  grant  to  per- 
sons properly  qualilied  and  recommended  by  the  class  of  which  he  is  a  member, 
licence  to  exhort  or  preach,  recommend  ministers  and  preachers  to  the  annual  con- 
ference for  itinerancy  and  ordination,  and  hear  and  decide  on  appeals  by  laymen  from 
the  decisions  of  committees. 

The  General  Conference  consists  of  an  equal  number  of  ministers  and  laymen.  It 
has  authority,  under  certain  restrictions,  to  make  such  rules  and  regulations  for  the 
government  of  the  church  as  may  be  necessary  to  carry  into  effect  the  laws  of  Christ : 
to  fix  the  compensation  and  duties  of  the  itinerant  ministers  and  preachers,  and  the 
allowance  of  their  wives,  widows,  and  children,  also  the  compensation  of  the  book 
agent,  editor,  &c. ;  to  devise  ways  and  means  for  raising  funds,  and  to  define  and 
regulate  the  boundaries  of  the  annual  conference  districts. 

Leaders  are  elected  by  their  classes,  and  represent  them  at  the  leaders'  meeting, 
which  receives  members  into  the  church,  and  dispenses  relief  to  the  poor  through 
the  stewards. 

Stewards  are  appointed  by  the  male  members  of  the  station,  and  receive  and  dis- 
burse the  collections  made  in  the  classes  and  the  church. 

A  superintendent  is  the  minister  who  has  charge  of  a  station. 

In  the  circuits,  persons  are  received  into  full  membership  by  vote  of  the  society. 

A  Leaders'  meeting  is  peculiar  to  stations,  and  consists  of  the  superintendent  of 
the  station,  the  stewards,  and  the  leaders. 

Class  leaders,  stewards,  trustees,  exhorters,  and  private  members,  when  charged 
with  disorderly  conduct,  are  duly  notified  by  the  superintendent,  and  sufficient  time 
is  given  for  preparation  for  defence.  The  right  of  challenge  is  granted,  to  extend  to 
any  number  of  the  committee  not  exceeding  the  whole  number  originally  appointed. 
In  appointing  a  committee,  the  superintendent  nominates  two  persons  in  full  mem- 
bership and  good  standing;  the  class,  of  which  the  accused  is  a  member,  nominates 
two  more,  in  like  standing ;  these  four  select  a  fifth,  and  the  five  thus  chosen  consti- 
tute a  competent  court  of  trial. 


138  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

Doctrines. — The  doctrines  of  the  church,  the  means  of  grace,  and  mode  of  worship 
are  the  same  as  those  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  'The  only  difference  lies 
in  government. 

The  church  has  a  Board  of  Foreign  and  Domestic  Missions,  and,  at  Baltimore,  a 
Book  Concern,  in  whose  extensive  catalogue  are  many  important  publications  in 
every  department  of  literature,  whose  number  is  constantly  increasing.  The  Pro- 
testant Methodist,  the  organ  of  the  church,  in  talent,  scholarship,  and  interest,  will 
compare  favorably  with  any  similar  journal  extant,  and  is  a  fair  reflex  of  the  vigor, 
tb.9  liberality,  and  the  intelligence  of  the  denomination  it  ably  represents. 

Commencing  with  eighty-three  ministers  and  about  five  thousand  private  members, 
it  has  now.  North  and  South,  916  travelling  preachers,  and  80,000  members. 


THE  TRUE  WESLEYAN  METHODIST  CHURCH. 

This  denominatien  sprang  out  of  the  expulsions  and  secessions  from  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  on  the  refusal  of  the  General  Conference,  in  1828,  to  listen  to  the  appeal 
of  the  reformers  for  lay  and  clerical  representation,  as  described  in  the  preceding 
article.  The  expelled  and  seceding  members  formed  themselves  into  the  Methodist 
Protestant  Church;  but  their  Constitution  and  Discipline  did  not  fully  meet  the 
hopes  and  expectations  of  many  of  the  reformers,  who,  with  John  "Wesley,  were 
warmly  opposed  to  the  Episcopal  form  of  church  government,  as  it  exists  in  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in  the  United  States,  to  intemperance,  and  to  slavery. 
The  dissatisfied  struggled  for  many  years  to  induce  the  Methodist  Protestant  Church 
to  take  a  decided  stand  against  slavery,  and  to  refuse  fellowship  to  all  who  gave  it 
countenance.  Others  were  making  a  similar  effort  in  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Chuich.  But  both  failing,  they  united  in  calling  a  convention  of  ministers  and  lay- 
men, to  be  held  in  New  York,  May  31st,  1843,  for  the  purpose  of  forming  a  Wes- 
leyan  Methodist  Church,  free  from  episcopacy,  intemperance,  and  slavery.  In  this 
movement,  Rev.  Leroy  Sunderland,  Luther  Lee,  C.  Prindle,  J.  Horton,  E.  Smith,  and 
Orange  Scott,  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  Rev.  John  Crocker,  Dr.  Tirn- 
berman,  J.  Culver,  R.  McCurdy,  John  Crocker,  G.  Pegler,  and  Hiram  Mackee,  per- 
formed a  prominent  part.  The  convention  met  at  the  appointed  time,  and  formed 
the  "  Discipline  of  the  Wesleyan  Methodist  Church  in  America,"  which  was  unani- 
mously adopted,  after  which  it  organized  six  annual  conferences,  and  adjourned, 

The  church  occupies  a  modest  position  amongst  the  denominations,  by  none  of 
which,  however,  is  she  excelled  in  devotion  to  the  truth  as  it  is  in  Jesus,  or  in  efforts 
for  the  spiritual  welfare  of  man. 

Her  ministers  and  members,  in  the  main,  are  noticeable  for  their  decision  of  char- 
acter, their  firm  practical  adherence  to  principle,  the  steadiness  of  their  faith,  and 
the  cheerful  willingness  of  their  sacrifices  for  gospel  truth. 

The  church  has  a  Tract  and  Missionary  Society,  and  is  publicly  represented  by 
The  True  Wesleyan,  an  able  weekly  journal,  of  large  size,  in  which  all  the  moral 
characteristics  of  the  denomination  are  distinctly  visible. 

The  church,  according  to  the  last  published  statistics,  has  565  travelling  and 
unstationed  preachers,  and  a  membership  of  21,000.  principally  in  New  England, 
New  York,  and  the  Western  and  South-western  States. 

Its  elementary  principles  are  those  of  the  Methodist  Protestant  Church.

ARTICLES   OF   RELIGION. 

1.  Of  Faith  in  the  Holy  Trinity. — There  is  but  one  living  and  true  God,  everlast- 
ing, of  infinite  power,  wisdom,  and  goodness :  the  Maker  and  Preserver  of  all  things 
visible  and  invisible.  And  in  unity  of  this  Godhead  there  are  three  persons  of  one 
substance,  power,  and  eternity,  the  Father,  the  Son  (the  Word),  and  the  Holy  Ghost. 

2.  Of  the  Son  of  God. — The  only  begotten  Son  of  God  was  conceived  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate,  was  crucified,  dead, 
and  buried,  to  be  a  sacrifice,  not  only  for  original  guilt,  but  also  for  the  actual  sins  ot 
men,  and  to  reconcile  us  to  God. 

3.  Of  the  Resurrection  of  Christ. — Christ  did  truly  rise  again  from  the  dead,  taking 
his  body,  with  all  things  appertaining  to  the  perfection  of  man's  nature,  wherewith 
He  ascended  into  heaven,  and  there  sitteth  until  He  shall  return  to  judge  all  men  at 
the  last  day. 

4.  Of  the  Holy  Ghost. — The  Holy  Ghost,  proceeding  from  the  Father  and  the  Son, 
very  and  eternal  God. 

5.  Tlie  Sufficiency  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  for  Salvation. — The  holy  Scriptures  con- 
tain all  things  necessary  to  salvation ;  so  that  whatsoever  is  not  read  therein,  nor 
may  be  proved  thereby,  is  not  to  be  required  of  any  man,  that  it  should  be  believed 
as  an  article  of  faith,  or  be  thought  necessary  or  requisite  to  salvation.  In  the  name 
of  the  holy  Scriptures,  we  do  understand  those  canonical  books  of  the  Old  and  New 
Testament,  of  whose  authority  there  is  no  doubt  in  the  church. 

The  canonical  books  of  the  Old  Testament  are :  Genesis,  Exodus,  Leviticus,  Num- 
bers, Deiiteronomy,  Joshua,  Judges,  Ruth,  the  First  Book  of  Samuel,  the  Second 
Book  of  Samuel,  the  First  Book  of  Kings,  the  Second  Book  of  Kings,  the  First  Book 
of  Chronicles,  the  Second  Book  of  Chronicles,  the  Book  of  Ezra,  the  Book  of  Nehe- 
miah,  the  Book  of  Esther,  the  Book  of  Job,  the  Psalms,  the  Proverbs,  Ecclesiastes, 
the  Songs  of  Solomon,  Isaiah,  Jeremiah,  Lamentations,  Ezekiel,  Daniel,  Hosea,  JoeL 
Amos,  Obadiah,  Jonah,  Micah,  Nahuni,  Habakuk,  Zephaniah,  Haggai,  Zechariah,  and 
Malachi. 

The  canonical  books  of  the  New  Testament  are :  Matthew,  Mark,  Luke,  John,  the 
Acts,  the  Epistle  to  the  Romans,  First  Corinthians,  Second  Corinthians,  Galatians, 
Ephesians,  Philippians,  Colossians,  First  Thessalonians,  Second  Thessalonians,  First 
Timothy,  Seoond  Timothy,  Titus,  Philemon,  Hebrews,  James,  First  Peter,  Second 
Peter,  First  John,  Second  John,  Third  John,  Jude,  Revelation. 

6.  Of  the  Old  Testament. — The  Old  Testament  is  not  contrary  to  the  New;  for  both 
in  the  Old  and  New  Testament  everlasting  life  is  offered  to  mankind  through  Christ, 
who  is  the  only  mediator  between  God  and  man,  wherefore  they  are  not  to  be  heard 
who  feign  that  the  old  fathers  did  look  only  for  transitory  promises.  Although  the 
law  given  from  God  by  Moses,  as  touching  rites  and  ceremonies,  doth  not  bind  Chris- 
tians, nor  ought  the  civil  precepts  thereof  of  necessity  be  received  in  any  common- 
wealth ;  yet,  notwithstanding,  no  Christian  whatsoever  is  free  from  the  obedience  of 
the  Ten  Commandments,  which  are  called  the  moral  law. 

7.  Of  Relative  Duties. — Those  two  great  commandments  which  require  us  to  love 
the  Lord  our  God  with  all  our  hearts,  and  our  neighbors  as  ourselves,  contain  the 
sum  of  the  divine  law,  as  it  is  revealed  in  the  Scriptures,  and  are  the  measuro  and 
perfect  rule  of  human  duty,  as  well  for  the  ordering  and  directing  of  families  and 
nations  and  all  other  social  bodies,  as  for  individual  acts,  by  which  we  are  required 
to  acknowledge  God  as  our  only  supreme  ruler,  and  all  men  created  by  Him,  equal 
in  all  natural  rights.  Wherefore  all  men  are  bound  so  to  order  all  their  individual 
and  social  acts  as  to  render  to  God  entire  and  absolute  obedience,  and  to  secure  all 


%4-0  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD^. 

men  the'  enjoyment  of  every  natural  right,  as  well  as  to  promote  the  greatest  happi- 
ness of  each  in  the  possession  and  exercise  of  such  rigbtsl- 

8.  Of  Original  or'  Birth  Sin. — Original  sin  standeth  not"  in-  following,  of  Adam  (as 
the  Pelagian?  (J»  vainly  talk),  but  it  is  the  corruption  of  the  nnture  of  every  man, 
that  naturally  is  engendered  of  the  offspring  of  Adam,  whereby  man  is  wholly  gone 
from  original  righteousness,-  and-  of  his  own  nature  inclined  to  evily  and-  that  con- 
tinually. 

9.  Of  Free  Will — The  condition5  of  man' after  the  fall  of  Adam  is  such,  ffeal  h.y  can- 
not turn  and  prepare  himself  by  his  owrr  natural  strength  and  works,  pleasaat  andl 
acceptable  to  God,  without  the  grace  of  God  by  Christ  working  in  us,  that  we  may 
have  a  good  will,  and  working  with  us  when'  we  have  that  good  will. 

10.  Of  the  Justification  of  Man. — "We  are  accounted  righteous  before  God,  only  for' 
the  merit  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour,  Jesus  Christ,  by  faith;  and  not  for  our  own  works 
or  deservings ;  wherefore  that  we  are  justified  by  faith-  only,  is  a  most  wholesome ' 
doctrine,  and  very  full  of  comfort. 

11.  Of  Good  Wo7-ks. — Although  good  works,  which  are  the'  fruit  of  faith,  and  fol- 
low after  justification,  cannot  put  away  our  sins  and  endure  the-' severity  of  God's 
judgments:  yet  are  they  pleasing  and  acceptable  to  God  in  Christ,  i^id-spring  out  of 
a  true  and  lively  faith,  insomuch  as  by  them  a  lively  faith  maybe  as  evidently  known 
as  a  tree  is  discerned  by  its  fruit. 

12.  Of  Sin  after  Justification. — Xot  every  sin  willingly  committed  after  j ratification 
is  a  sin  against  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  unpardonable ;  wherefore,  repentance  is?  not  de-  ■ 
n&d  to  such  as  fall  into  sin  after  justification;  after  we  have  received  the" Holy' 
Ghost,  we  may  depart  from  grace  given,  and  fall  into  sin,  and  by  the  grace  of  God- 
rise  again  to  amend  our  lives.  And  therefore  they  are  to  be  condemned  who  siiy 
they  can  no  more  sin,  as  long  as  they  live  here ;  or  deny  the  place  of  forgiveness  to 
such  as  truly  repent. 

13.  Of  Sacraments. — Sacraments  ordained  of  Christ  are  not  only  badges  or  tokens 
of  Christian  men's  profession;  but  they  are  certain  signs  of  grace,  and  God's  good 
will  toward  us,  by  which  he  doth  work  invisibly  in  us,  and  doth  not  only  quicken, 
but  also  strengthen  and  confirm  our  faith  in  him. 

There  are  two  sacraments  ordained  of  Christ  our  Lord,  in  the  Gospel ;  that  is  to 
pay.  Baptism  and  the  Supper  of  our  Lord. 

14.  Of  Baptism. — Baptism  is  not  only  a  sign  of  profession,  and  mark  of  difference, 
whereby  Christians  are  distinguished  from  others  that  are  not  baptized ;  but  it  is;  also* 
a  sign  of  regeneration  or  the  new  birth.  The  baptism  of  young  children  is  to  be  re-^ 
tained  in  the  church.  , 

15.  Of  the  Lord's  Supper. — The  Supper  of  the  Lord  is  not  only  a  sign  of  the  love 
that  Christians  ought  to  have  among  themselves  ono  to  another,  but  rather  it  is  a 
sacrament  of  our  redemption  by  Christ's  death ;  insomuch  that,  to  such  as  rightly, 
worthily,  and  with  faith  receive  the  same,  it  is  made  a  medium  through  which  God 
doth  communicate  grace  to  the  heart. 

16.  Of  tlie  one  Oblation  of  Christ  finished  on  the  Cross. — The  offering  of  Christ,  once 
made,  is  that  perfect  redemption  and  propitiation  for  all  the  sins  of  the  whole  world, 
both  original  and  actual;  and  there  is  none  other  satisfaction  for  sin  but  that  alone. 
"Wherefore,  to  expect  salvation  on  the  ground  of  our  own  works,  or  by  suffering  tin* 
pains  our  sins  deserve,  either  in  the  present  or  future  state,  is  derogatory  to  Christ' 8 
offering  for  us,  and  a  dangerous  deceit. 

17.  Of  the  Rites  and  Ceremonies  of  Churches. — It  is  not  necessary  that  rites  and 
ceremonies  should  in  all  places  be  alike ;  for  they  have  always  been  different,  and 
may  be  changed  according  to  the  diversity  of  countries,  times,  and  men's  manners, 
so  that  nothing  be  ordained  against  God's  word.  Every  particular  church  may  ordain, 
change,  or  abolish  rites  and  ceremonies,  so  that  all  things  may  be  done  to  edification! 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  141 

18.  Of  the  Resurrection  of  the  Dead. — There  will  be  a  general  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  both  of  the  just  and  the  unjust,  at  which  time  the  souls  and  bodies  of  men  will 
be  reunited,  to  receive  together  a  just  retribution  for  the  deeds  done  in  the  body. 

19.  Of  the  General  Judgment. — There  will  be  a  general  judgment  at  the  end  of  the 
world,  when  God  will  judge  all  men  by  Jesus  Christ,  and  receive  the  righteous  into 
his  heavenly  kingdom,  where  they  shall  be  for  ever  secure  and  happy;  and  adjudge 
the  wicked  to  everlasting  punishment  suited  to  the  demerit  of  their  sins. 


AFRICAN"  METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 

This  church  owes  its  rise  to  the  prejudice  against  the  colored  members  and  attend- 
ants of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church — in  the  early  days  of  that  denomination. 
This  prejudice  was  so  deep,  that  they  were  not  unfrequently  pulled  from  their  knees 
while  at  prayer  in  the  sanctuary,  and  ordered  to  the  back  seats.  These  and  other 
like  indignities,  from  their  white  brethren,  naturally  arousing  their  indignation,  they, 
in  1787,  convened  a  meeting  at  Philadelphia,  to  devise  ways  and  means  for  building 
a  house  of  worship  of  their  own.  In  this  enterpise,  they  were  waited  upon  by  an 
elder  of  the  church  with  the  threat  that  if  they  did  not  give  up  the  building,  erase 
their  names  from  the  subscription  paper,  and  acknowledge  the  error  of  the  attempt, 
in  three  months,  they  should  be  expelled.  Not  believing  this  to  be  their  best  course, 
they  sent  in  their  resignation  to  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  looked  else- 
where for  friends.  Dr.  Benjamin,  Mr.  R.  Ralston,  and  other  prominent  citizens, 
came  to  their  aid,  with  advice  and  assistance,  and  they  succeeded  in  getting  their 
building  finished.  Bishop  White,  of  the  Episcopal  Church,  also  sympathizing  with 
them,  ordained  one  of  their  own  number  as  pastor,  and  they  had  the  satisfaction  of 
a  regular  ministration  of  the  gospel. 

In  1793,  the  number  of  colored  believers  hs  ving  increased,  and  the  majority  inclining 
to  the  Methodist  form  of  worship,  Richard  Allen,  at  the  suggestion  of  a  few  brethren, 
offered  to  erect  an  African  Methodist  Meeting  House  on  his  own  ground,  and  at  his 
own  expense.  This  coming  to  the  knowledge  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church, 
the  clergy  insisted  that  the  house  should  be  conveyed  to  the  Conference,  or  its  get- 
ters-up  should  be  exposed  as  imposing  upon  the  public,  as  they  were  not  Methodists. 
This  the  society  declined  to  do, '  but  proceeded  with  the  building,  which,  when 
finished,  they  invited  Bishop  Asbury  to  dedicate  for  divine  service,  which  he  complied 
with,  and  the  house  was  named  Bethel.  The  resident  elder  now  suggested  that  they 
had  better  have  the  church  incorporated,  so  as  to  be  authorised  to  receive  donations 
and  legacies,  and  to  save  expense,  the  elder  proposed  to  draw  up  the  petition.  Both 
were  thankfully  agreed  to  ;  but  the  society  subsequently  discovered  that  he  had  so 
phrased  the  document  a3  to  bring  them  into  subjection  to  the  Conference.  From  this 
perplexity,  however,  they  were  ere  long  relieved  by  counsel,  who  drew  up  a  supple- 
ment, which  was  signed  by  all  the  congregation,  and  forwarded  to  the  legislature, 
who  promptly  passed  it,  and  thus  defeated  the  movement  of  the  elder.  They  now 
hoped  to  proceed  without  further  uneasiness.  But  they  were  mistaken.  The  sup- 
plement gave  great  offence  to  the  Methodist  Society,  upon  whom  they  were  dependent 
for  preaching,  which  the  latter  now  refused  to  supply  them  for  less  than  $600  a  year. 
This  they  were  unable  to  pay.  The  society  then  abated  to  $400  ;  but  this,  too, "they 
declined,  stating  that  they  could  pay  only  $200.  The  society  closed  with  them  at, 
this  sum,  agreeing  to  furnish  preaching  twice  a  week  during  the  year.  But,  instead 
of  twice  a  week,  preaching  was  supplied  scarcely  twice  in  two  months,  and  then 


14:2  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

mostly  by  ministers  not  acceptable  to  them,  nor  in  good  repute  as  preachers.  Dis- 
satisfied with  this  treatment,  they  resolved,  in  future,  to  pay  but  $100  a  year  to  the 
society.  "When  the  quarterly  portion  of  this  sum  was  tendered,  the  society  refused 
it,  insisting  on  the  $200,  or  their  preaching  should  be  cut  off,  at  the  same  time  urging 
the  repeal  of  the  supplemeut.     This,  however,  they  respectfully  but  firmly  refused. 

They  then,  by  committee,  waited  on  Bishop  Asbury  for  a  pastor,  offering  to  pay 
$•400  or  $500  for  one  who  would  faithfully  attend  to  all  the  duties.  The  bishop, 
»owever,  could  do  nothing  for  them,  and  they  were  left  with  an  empty  pulpit. 

Shortly  after,  an  elder  declared,  that  unless  they  repealed  the  supplement,  they 
hould  have  no  more  preaching ;  to  enforce  which  an  edict  was  issued,  that  if  anjf 
local  preacher  served  them,  he  should  be  expelled.  They  were  now  in  a  dilemma 
from  which  the}r  saw  not  how  they  could  extricate  themselves;  and  at  length,  t< 
add  to  their  perplexity,  they  were  publicly  disowned  by  the  society,  which  also 
fitted  up,  contiguous  to  the  Bethel,  a  home  of  worship,  to  which  all  colored  persons 
favoring  the  Methodist  form  of  worship  were  invited.  The  new  house  not  proving 
successful,  the  resident  elder  insisted  on  taking  the  spiritual  charge  of  Bethel,  and 
preaching  to  them.  He  was  informed  that  he  could  not,  under  existing  circum- 
stances ;  but  he  insisted,  and  on  the  Sabbath  following,  accompanied  by  friends,  en- 
tered the  house  to  take  possession  of  the  pulpit.  In  this,  however,  he  failed,  white 
friends  being  present  to  prevent  him  from  overawing  the  society,  and  obtruding 
himself  upon  the  church  by  force. 

The  next  elder  of  the  station  also  attempted  to  take  possession  of  the  pulpit,  but  he 
likewise  was  resisted,  and  a  suit  at  law  followed,  which  terminated  in  favor  of  Bethel, 
and  put  an  end  to  the  claims  of  the  Society. 

The  church  was  now  free  from  the  persecution  of  the  stranger,  and  having. heard 
that  colored  brethren  of  Baltimore  and  other  places  had  been  similarly  used,  they 
called  a  convention,  held  at  Philadelphia  in  April,  1816,  for  the  purpose  of  forming  a 
connexion,  at  which  they  adopted  the  same  doctrines,  discipline,  and  government  in 
which  they  had  been  instructed,  differing  in  regard  to  the  latter  only  on  points  not 
applying  to  their  peculiar  circumstances,  and  resolved  to  be  known  as  the  African 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church. 

Their  local  preachers  are  eligible  to  membership  in  the  Annual  Conferences,  and, 
as  such,  entitled  to,  all  the  privileges  of  the  itinerant  members.  They  may  also,  as 
delegates,  represent  the  lay  members  at  the  General  Conference. 

The  first  annual  conference  was  held  at  Baltimore,  in  April,  1818,  at  which  Bishop 
Richard  Allen,  Rev.  Richard  Williams,  Rev.  Jacob  Tapsico,  Rev.  Henry  Har- 
den, Thomas  Robinson,  Charles  Pierce,  James  Torosen,  Jerry  Miller  and  "Wil- 
liam Quinn  were  present ;  since  when,  the  church  has  been  making  quiet  but  steady 
progress. 

It  has  a  book  concern  and  a  Missionary  Society. 


ZION  AFRICAN  METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 

The  rise  of  this  Society  was  due  to  the  same  cause  for  which  the  Bethel  A.  M.  E. 
Church  owed  its  existence — prejudice  against  persons  of  color.  The  first  (Zion) 
church  was  built  in  1800,  at  the  corner  of  Leonard  and  Church  streets,  New  York, 
and  dedicated  in  October  of  that  year.  Like  the  Bethel,  of  whose  story  it  is  only  a 
repetition,  it  encountered  a  great  deal  of  opposition  and  persecution",  as  well  during 
as  after  its  construction.     In  1820,  the  Society,  to  defeat  a  movement  for  placing  the 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  143 

structure  and  church  under  the  control  of  the  General  Conference,  resolved  to  receive 
no  more  preachers  from  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  to  erect  itself  into  a 
distinct  and  independent  body,  as  the  Zion  African  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  At 
a  subsequent  meeting,  during  the  same  year,  a  discipline,  compiled  from  that  of  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  was  adopted.  The  following  year,  Asbury  Church,  an 
offshoot  of  the  Zion,  came  into  connection  with  the  new  body,  as  did  also  two  other 
societies,  in  New  Haven,  Connecticut,  and  Philadelphia.  The  church  then  applied  to 
the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  to  establish  an  annual  conference  for  it,  to  be  under 
the  presidency  of  a  white  bishop ;  but  this  being  refused,  the  ministers  of  the  socie- 
ties in  connection  themselves  appointed  an  annual  conference,  to  be  held  at  Zion 
church,  in  New  York,  June  21st,  1821,  at  which  Elder  Joshua  Soul,  subsequently 
bishop  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  and  Dr.  Wm.  Phebus,  were  present  by 
invitation.  Dr.  Phebus  was  elected  president,  and  Elder  Saul  secretary.  Twenty- 
two  ministers  were  in  attendance,  a  total  membership  of  1426  was  reported,  and  the 
receipts  announced  as  reaching  the  modest  figure  of  $35.  Three  elders  were  then 
ordained,  viz  :  Abraham  Thompson,  James  Yarick,  and  Leven  Smith,  and  the  con- 
ference adjourned.  At  the  annual  conference  in  1838,  the  Society  elected  its  first 
superintendent,  in  the  person  of  the  Rev.  Christopher  Rush. 

In  doctrine,  the  church  differs  in  no  respect  from  the  parent  church. 

Meetingb. — These  are  five,  viz. :  leaders,  and  trustees,  and  the  quarterly,  annual, 
and  general  conferences.  The  latter  meets  every  four  years,  is  composed  "of  all  the 
travelling  ministers  in  the  connexion,  and  elects  the  superintendent,  and  confirms  all 
officers  elected  by  the  quarterly  and  annual  conferences. 

Offices.—  The  superintendent,  elected  every  four  years,  presides  at  the  general  and 
annual  conferences,  ordains  deacons  and  elders,  appoints  preachers,  and  visits  and 
examines  every  society  in  the  connexion  as  often  as  possible.  He  has  no  fixed  salary, 
but  is  carefully  provided  for. 

The  functionary,  or  elder,  is  elected  by  the  annual  conference,  takes  pastoral  charge 
wherever  the  superintendent  may  appoint,  administers  the  sacrament,  performs  the 
rites  of  baptism  and  matrimony,  presides  at  quarterly  conferences,  gives  licences  to 
preach,  and,  to  the  superintendent,  the  statistics  annually  of  his  charge.

MENNONITES. 

The  Mennonites  derive  their  name  from  Menno  Simon,  born  in  Eriesland  in  1495, 
and  educated  a  Roman  Catholic.  In  his  twenty-fourth  year,  having  taken  orders,  he 
performed  the  duties  of  a  priest  in  Pinningham.  his  father's  village.  In  1530,  he  was 
led  to  examine  the  New  Testament,  when  a  great  change  came  over  his  mind.  With 
the  promptness  of  decision,  he  renounced  the  Romish  Church,  accepted  the  New

Testament  aa  his  only  rule  of  faith,  and  travelled  for  the  purpose  of  consulting  with 
Luther,  Bullinger,  and  others  of  his  contemporaries.  The  Munsterites,  at  this  time, 
attracting  the  attention  of  all  Europe,  Menno  Simon  carefully  weighed  their  princi- 
ples and  tendency,  and  promptly  took  strong  ground  against  them.  Many  descen- 
dants of  Waldenses,  who  had  withdrawn  from  the  fanatical  sect,  invited  Menno 
Simon  to  become  their  teacher.  He  consented,  and  at  once  entered  upon  his  work. 
His  Buccess  was  astonishing,  and  his  fame  extended  far  and  wide.  He  had  large 
penetration,  great  natural  power  of  eloquence,  a  winning  and  persuasive  style,  a 
mild,  conciliating  manner,  and  a  tireless  zeal,  before  which  all  obstacles,  however 
numerous,  and  all  dangers,  however  great,  had  to  give  way. 

As  a  public  teacher,  in  1537,  he  commenced  travelling  from  country  to  country; 
fir3t  visiting  East  and  West  Friesland,  the  province  of  Grouingeu;  thence,  in  succes- 
sion. Holland.  Guelderland,  Brabant,  Westphalia,  the  German  provinces  along  the 
coast  of  the  Baltic,  and  penetrating  as  far  as  Livonia,  in  all  of  which  his  labors  were 
wondrous  and  his  success  prodigious,  founding  community  after  community,  and 
amazing  all  Europe  by  the  marvellonsness  of  his  energy,  and  the  rapidity  and  exten- 
sivoneas  of  his  work.     He  died  at  Fresenburg,  near  Olderlohe,  January  31,  1561. 

From  1537  till  the  close  of  the  last  century,  persecution  was  let  loose  against  the 
Mennonites  in  Europe,  who,  fleeing  from  country  to  country,  became  at  length  widely 
dispersed ;  some  taking  refuge  in  Russia,  Prussia,  Poland,  Holland,  Denmark,  and 
some,  on  the  invitation  of  William  Penn,  in  Pennsylvania,  where  one  emigration 
arrived  in  1GS3  and  the  other  in  1693,  settling  in  and  about  Germantown,  where,  in 
1 708,  they  erected  a  school  and  meeting  house. 

In  1709,  a  third,  descendants  of  the  persecuted  Swiss,  from  the  Palatinate,  followed, 
and  settled  in  Lancaster  county.  Among  them  were  the  Herrs,  Meylias,  Kendigs, 
Millers,  Oberholtz,  Funks,  and  Bowmans. 

Other  emigrations  followed  in  1711,  1717,  1727,  and  1733,  successively.  In  1735, 
there  were  nearly  if  not  quite  500  families  settled  in  Lancaster  county.  For  somo 
time  their  religious  meetings  were  held  in  the  school  houses  erected  for  their  children. 
Their  views  and  character  as  a  body  meeting  with  much  misrepresentation,  and 
exciting  considerable  prejudice  against  them,  they,  in  1727,  translated  and  published, 
at  Philadelphia,  their  Confession  of  Faith,  which  they  had  carefully  disseminated, 
for  the  double  purpose  of  doing  justice  to  themselves  and  of  spreading  the  principles 
of  the  Gospel. 

As  a  body,  Mennonites  are  most  numerous  in  Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Maryland  and 
Virginia,  but  have  churches  in  New  York,  Indiana,  and  in  most  of  the  States  in  the 
West  and  Southwest,  In  Canada  West,  they  number  between  three  and  four  thou- 
sand. It  is  difficult  to  arrive  at  their  whole  number,  as  they  keep  no  accessible 
records  for  that  purpose,  believing  public  displays  of  this  nature  to  be  only  one  of 
the  vanities  of  denominations,  and  of  no  good  service,  as  the  Great  Head  of  the  Church 
alone  sees  and  knows  who  and  how  many  are  His.  They  probably  number,  how- 
ever, as  nearly  as  can  be  ascertained,  about  330  ministers  and  40,000  members. 

Their  church  offices  are  three — bishops,  elders  (or  ministers,)  and  deacons,  who 
are  usually  chosen  by  lot. 

They  pay  no  stipulated  salaries  to  their  ministers. 

Their  bishops,  ministers  and  deacons  meet  semi-annually  in  district  conferences  for 
the  purpose  of  learning  the  state  of  the  church  and  deliberating  upon  suggested 
methods  for  advancing  her  spiritual  prosperity. 

Like  the  Society  of  Friends,  they  are  opposed  to  war  and  oaths. 
Plainness  of  speech,  simplicity  in  dress,  frugality,  and  hospitality,  are  character- 
istic virtues. 

Their  church  edilices,  like  their  private  houses,  are  remarkable  for  their  neatness 
and  simplicity,

They  praotice  the  washing  of  feet. 

Their  article?;  of  faith  are  still  tho  same  as  originally  adopted  by  the  United 
Churches  at  Dortrecht,  April  21st,  1632. 

ARTICLES   OF   FAITH. 

1.  Of  God,  the  Creation,  and  of  Man. — Since  it  is  testified,  that  without  faith  it  is 
impossible  to  please  God,  and  that  whosoever  would  come  to  God,  must  believe  that 
God  is.  and  that  he  is  a  rewarder  of  all  those  who  seek  him  ;  we  therefore  confess 
and  believe,  according  to  the  scriptures,  with  all  the  pious,  in  one  eternal,  omni- 
potent, and  incomprehensible  God:  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost;  and  in  no 
more  or  none  other;  before  whom  there  was  no  God,  nor  shall  there  be  any  after 
him;  for  from  him,  by  him,  and  in  him,  are  all  things;  to  whom  "be  praise,  honor, 
and  glory  for  ever  and  ever:  Amen. 

We  believe  in  this  one  God,  who  works  all  in  all ;  and  confess  that  he  is  the 
Creator  of  all  things,  visible  and  invisible ;  who,  in  six  days,  created  heaven  and 
earth  ;  the  sea  and  all  that  is  therein;  and  that  he  governs  and  upholds  all  his  works 
by  his  wisdom.,  and  by  the  word  of  his  power. 

Now.  as  he  had  finished  his  work,  and  had  ordained  and  prepared  everything  good 
and  perfect  in  its  nature  and  properties,  according  to  his  good  pleasure,  so  at  last  he 
created  the  first  man,  Adam,  the  father  of  us  all ;  gave  him  a  body  formed  of  the 
dust  of  the  earth,  and  breathed  into  his  nostrils  the  breath  of  life,  so  that  he  became 
a  living  soul,  created  by  God  after  his  own  image  and  likeness,  in  righteousness  and 
true  holiness,  unto  eternal  life.  He  esteemed  him  above  all  creatures,  and  endowed 
him  with  many  and  great  gifts;  placed  him  in  a  delightful  garden,  or  paradise,  and 
gave  Mm  a  command  and  a  prohibition  ;  afterwards,  he  took  a  rib  from  Adam,  made 
a  woman,  and  brought  her  to  Adam  for  a  helpmate,  consort,  and  wife.  The  conse- 
quence is,  that  from  this  first  and  only  man,  Adam,  all  men  that  dwell  upon  the  earth 
have  descended. 

2.  Of  the  Fall  of  Man. — TTe  believe  and  confess,  according  to  the  tenure  of  the 
scriptures,  that  our  first  parents,  Adam  and  Eve,  did  not  remain  long  in  the  glorious 
state  in  which  they  were  created  ;  but  being  deceived  by  the  subtlety  of  the  serpent, 
and  the  envy  of  the  devil,  they  transgressed  the  high  commandment  of  God,  and 
disobeyed  their  Creator;  by  which  disobedience  sin  entered  the  world,  and  death  by 
sin.  which  has  thus  passed  upon  all  men,  in  that  all  have  sinned,  and  hence  incurred 
the  wrath  of  God  and  condemnation.  They  were,  therefore,  driven  of  God  out  of 
paradise,  to  till  the  earth,  to  toil  for  sustenance,  and  to  eat  their  bread  in  the  sweat 
of  their  face,  till  they  should  return  to  the  earth  whence  they  had  been  taken.  And 
that  they,  by  this  one  sin,  fell  so  far  as  to  be  separated  and  estranged  from  God,  that 
neither  they  themselves,  nor  any  of  their  posterity,  nor  angel,  nor  man,  nor  any  other 
creature  in  heaven  or  on  earth,  could  help  them,  redeem  them,  or  reconcile  them  to 
God;  but  they  must  have  been  eternally  lost,  had  not  God,  in  compassion  for  his 
creatures,  made  provision  for  them,  interposing  with  love  and  mercy. 

3.  Of  the  Restoration  of  Man  by  the  promise  of  Christ's  coming. — Concerning  the 
restoration  of  the  first  man  and  his  posterity,  we  believe  and  confess,  that  God  not- 
withstanding their  fall,  transgression,  sin,  and  perfect  inability,  was  not  willing  to 
cast  then)  off  entirely,  nor  suiter  them  to  be  eternally  lost;  but  that  he  called  them 
again  to  him,  comforted  them,  and  testified  that  there  was  yet  a  means  of  reconcili- 
ation ;  namely,  the  Lamb  without  spot,  the  Son  of  God,  who  was  appointed  for  this 
purpose  before  the  foundation  of  the  world,  and  was  promised  while  they  were  yet 
in  paradise,  for  consolation,  redemption,  and  salvation  unto  them  and  all  their  pos- 
terity ;  nay,  from  that  time  forth  was  bestowed  upon  them  by  faith ;  afterwards  all 
the  pious  forefathers,  to  whom  this  promise  was  frequently  renewed,  longed  for,  de*

146  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

sired,  saw  by  faith,  and  waited  for  the  fulfilment,  that  at  his  coming  he  would  redeem, 
liberate,  and  release  fallen  man  from  sin,  guilt,  and  unrighteousness. 

4.  Of  the  Coming  of  Christ,  and  the  Cause  of  his  Coming. — We  further  believe  and 
confess,  that  when  the  time  of  his  promise,  which  all  the  forefathers  anxiously  ex- 
pected, was  fulfilled,  the  promised  Messiah,  Redeemer,  and  Saviour,  proceeded  from 
God,  was  sent,  and  according  to  the  predictions  of  the  prophets,  and  the  testimony 
of  the  evangelists,  came  into  the  world,  nay,  was  made  manifest  in  the  flesh,  and 
thus  the  Word  was  made  flesh  and  man ;  that  he  was  conceived  by  the  Virgin  Mary, 
who  was  espoused  to  Joseph,  of  the  House  of  David ;  and  that  she  brought  forth  her 
first-born  Son  at  Bethiehem,  wrapped  him  in  swaddling  clothes,  and  laid  him  in  a 
manger. 

We  confess  and  believe,  that  this  is  he  whose  going  forth  is  from  everlasting  to 
everlasting,  without  beginning  of  days,  or  end  of  life ;  of  whom  it  is  testified  that  he 
is  Alpha  and  Omega,  the  beginning  and  the  end,  the  first  and  the  last ;  that  he  is  the 
same,  and  no  other,  who  was  provided,  promised,  sent  and  came  into  the  world,  and 
who  is  God's  first  and  only  Son,  and  who  was  before  John  the  Baptist,  Abraham,  and 
prior  to  the  formation  of  the  world ;  nay,  who  was  the  Lord  of  David,  and  the  God 
of  the  universe,  the  first  born  of  all  creatures,  who  was  sent  into  the  world,  and 
yielded  up  the  body  which  was  prepared  for  him,  a  sacrifice  and  offering,  for  a  sweet 
savor  to  God ;  nay,  for  the  consolation,  redemption,  and  salvation  of  the  whole  world. 
But  as  to  how  and  in  what  manner  this  worthy  body  was  prepared,  and  how  the 
Word  became  flesh,  we  are  satisfied  with  the  statement  given  by  the  evangelists ; 
agreeably  to  which,  we  confess,,  with  all  the  saints,  that  he  is  the  Son  of  the  living 
God,  in  whom  alone  consist  all  our  hope,  consolation,  redemption,  and  salvation. 

We  further  believe  and  confess  with  the  scriptures,  that  when  he  had  fulfilled  his 
course,  and  finished  the  work  for  which  he  had  been  sent  into  the  world,  he  was, 
according  to  the  providence  of  God,  delivered  into  the  hands  of  wicked  men ;  that 
he  suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate ;  was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried ;  rose  again  from 
the  dead  on  the  third  day ;  ascended  to  heaven,  and  sits  on  the  right  hand  of  the 
majesty  of  God  on  high ;  whence  he  will  come  again  to  judge  the  living  and  the  dead. 
And'  also  that  the  Son  of  God  died,  tasted  death,  and  shed  his  precious  blood,  for 
all  men ;  and  that  thereby  he  bruised  the  serpents  head,  destroyed  the  works  of  the 
devil,  abolished  the  handwriting,  and  obtained  the  remission  of  sins  for  the  whole 
human  family ;  that  he  became  the  means  (author)  of  eternal  salvation  to  all  those 
who,  from  Adam  to  the  end  of  the  world,  believe  in  and  obey  him. 

6.  Of  the  Law  of  Christ — the  Gospel  or  the  New  Testament. — We  believe  and  confess, 
that  previous  to  his  ascension,  he  made,  instituted,  and  left  his  New  Testament,  and 
gave  it  to  his  disciples,  that  it  should  remain  an  everlasting  testament,  which  he  con- 
firmed and  sealed  with  his  blood,  and  commended  it  so  highly  to  them,  that  it  is  not 
to  be  altered,  neither  by  angels  nor  men,  neither  to  be  added  thereto,  nor  taken  there- 
from. And  that,  inasmuch  as  it  contains  the  whole  will  and  counsel  of  his  heavenly 
Father,  as  far  as  is  necessary  for  salvation,  he  has  caused  it  to  be  promulgated  by  his 
apostles,  missionaries,  and  ministers,  whom  he  called  and  chose  for  that  purpose,  and 
sent  into  all  the  world,  to  preach  in  his  name  among  all  people,  and  nations  and 
tonguss.  testifying  repentance  and  the  forgiveness  of  sins ;  and  that  consequently  he 
has  therein  declared  all  men,  without  exception,  as  his  children  and  lawful  heirs,  so 
far  as  they  follow  and  live  up  to  the  contents  of  the  same  by  faith,  as  obedient  chil- 
dren ;  and  thus,  he  has  not  excluded  any  from  the  glorious  inheritance  of  everlasting 
life,  and  except  the  unbelieving,  the  disobedient,  the  obstinate,  and  the  perverse,  who 
despise  it,  and,  bv  their  continual  sinning,  render  themselves  unworthy  of  eternal 
life. 

6.  Of  Repentance  and  Reformation. — We  believe  and  confess,  since  the  thoughts  of 
the  heart  are  evil  from  youth,  and  prone  to  unrighteousness,  sin,  and  wickedness, 


AMERICA*  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  147 

that  the  first  lesson  of  the  Xew  Testament  of  the  Son  of  God,  is  repentance  and 
reformation.  Men,  therefore,  who  have  ears  to  hear  and  hearts  to  understand,  must 
bring  forth  fruits  meet  for  repentance,  reform  their  lives,  believe  the  gospel,  eschew 
evil  and  do  good,  desist  from  sin  and  forsake  unrighteousness,  put  off  the  old  man 
with  all  his  works,  and  put  on  the  new  man,  created  after  God  in  righteousness  and 
true  holiness;  for  neither  baptism,  supper,  church,  nor  any  other  outward  ceremony, 
can,  without  faith,  regeneration,  change  or  reformation  of  life,  enable  us  to  please 
God,  or  obtain  from  him  any  consolation,  or  promise  of  salvation.  But  we  must  go 
to  God  with  sincere  hearts  and  true  and  perfect  faith,  and  believe  on  Jesus  Christ, 
according  to  the  testimony  of  the  scriptures ;  by  this  living  faith  we  obtain  remission 
or  forgiveness  of  sins,  are  justified,  sanctified,  nay,  made  children  of  God,  partakers 
of  his  image,  nature,  and  mind :  being  born  again  of  God  from  above,  through  the 
incorruptible  seed. 

7.  Of  Baptism. — As  regards  baptism,  we  confess  that  all  penitent  believers,  who, 
by  faith,  regeneration,  aud  renewing  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  are  made  one  with  God  and 
written  in  heaven,  must  upon  their  scriptural  confession  of  faith,  and  reformation  of 
life,  be  baptized  with  water,  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the 
Holy  Ghost,  agreeably  to  the  doctrine  and  command  of  Christ,  and  the  usage  of  his 
apostles,  to  the  burying  of  their  sins ;  and  thus  be  received  into  fellowship  with  the 
saints ;  whereupon  they  must  learn  to  observe  all  things  which  the  Son  of  God 
taught,  left  to,  and  commanded  his  disciples. 

8.  Of  the  Church  of  Christ. — We  believe  and  confess  there  is  a  visible  Church  of 
God;  namely,  those  who,  as  aforementioned,  do  works  meet  for  repentance,  have 
true  faith,  and  received  a  true  baptism,  are  made  one  with  God  in  heaven,  and  re- 
ceived into  fellowship  of  the  saints  here  upon  earth :  those  we  profess  are  the  chosen 
generation,  the  royal  priesthood,  the  holy  nation,  who  have  the  witness  that  they 
are  the  spouse  and  bride  of  Christ ;  nay,  the  children  and  heirs  of  everlasting  fife ;  a 
habitation,  a  tabernacle,  a  dwelling-place  of  God  in  the  spirit,  built  upon  the  foun- 
dation of  the  apostles  and  the  prophets,  Christ  being  the  chief  corner-stone  (upon 
which  his  church  is  built) — this  church  of  the  living  God,  which  he  bought,  purchased, 
and  redeemed  with  his  own  precious  blood,  with  which  church,  according  to  his  pro- 
mise, he  will  always  remain  to  the  end  of  the  world,  as  protector  and  comforter  of 
believers,  nay,  will  dwell  with  them,  walk  among  them,  and  so  protect  them,  that 
neither  floods  nor  tempests,  nor  the  gates  of  hell  shall  prevail  against  or  overthrow 
them.  This  church  is  to  be  distinguished  by  scriptural  faith,  doctrine,  love,  godly 
walk  or  deportment,  as  also  by  a  profitable  or  fruitful  conversation,  use  and  observ- 
ance of  the  true  ordinances  of  Christ,  which  he  strictly  enjoined  upon  his  followers. 

9.  Of  the  Election  and  Office  of  Teachers,  Deacons,  and  Deaconesses  in  the  Church. — As 
regards  offices  and  elections  in  the  church,  we  believe  and  confess,  since  the  church 
cannot  subsist  in  her  growth,  nor  remain  an  edifice  without  officers  and  discipline, 
that,  therefore,  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  himself  instituted  and  ordained  offices  and 
ordinances,  and  gave  commands  and  directions,  how  every  one  ought  to  walk  there- 
in, take  heed  to  his  work  and  vocation,  and  do  that  which  is  right  and  necessary; 
for  he,  as  the  true,  great  and  chief  Shepherd  and  Bishop  of  our  souls,  was  sent  and 
came  into  the  world,  not  to  wound  or  destroy  the  souls  of  men,  but  to  heal  and  re- 
store them  ;  to  seek  the  lost ;  to  break  down  the  middle  wall  of  partition  ;  of  two  to 
make  one ;  to  gather  together  out  of  Jews,  Gentiles,  and  all  nations,  a  fold  to  havo 
fellowship  in  his  name ;  for  which,  in  order  that  none  might  err  or  go  astray,  he  laid 
down  his  own  life,  and  thus  made  a  way  for  their  salvation,  redeeming  and  releasing 
them,  when  there  was  no  one  to  help  or  assist. 

And  further,  that  he  provided  his  church,  before  his  departure,  with  faithful  min- 
isters, evangelists,  pastors  and  teachers,  whom  he  had  chosen  by  the  Holy  Ghost, 
with  prayers  and  supplications,  ha  order  that  they  might  govern  the  church,  feed  his 


14.8  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

flock,  watch  over  them,  defend,  and  provide  for  them ;  nay,  do  in  all  things  as  he 
did,  going  before  them,  as  he  taught,  acted  and  commanded ;  teaching  them  to  do  all 
things  whatsoever  he  commanded  them. 

That  the  Apostles,  likewise,  as  true  followers  of  Christ,  and  leaders  of  the  church, 
were  diligeut  with  prayers  and  supplication  to  God,  in  electing  brethren,  providing 
every  city,  place  or  church,  with  bishops,  pastors  and  leaders,  and  ordaining  such 
persons  as  took  heed  to  themselves,  and  to  the  doctrine  and  flock;  who  were  sound 
in  the  faith,  virtuous  in  life  and  conversation,  and  were  of  good  report,  both  in  and 
out  of  the  church,  in  order  that  they  might  be  an  example,  light  and  pattern,  in  all 
godliness,  with  good  works,  worthily  administering  the  Lord's  ordinances,  baptism 
and  supper,  and  that  they  might  appoint  in  all  places,  faithful  men  as  elders,  capable 
of  teaching  others,  ordaining  them  b}''  the  imposition  of  hands,  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord ;  farther,  to  have  the  care,  according  to  their  ability,  for  all  things  necessary 
in  the  church ;  so  that  as  faithful  servants,  they  might  husband  well  their  Lord's 
talent,  gain  by  it,  and  consequently  save  themselves  and  those  who  hear  them. 

That  they  should  also  have  a  care  for  every  one,  of  whom  they  have  the  over- 
sight ;  to  provide  in  all  places  deacons,  who  may  receive  contributions  and  alms,  in 
order  faithfully  to  dispense  them  to  the  necessitous  saints,  with  all  becoming  honesty 
and  decorum. 

That  honorable  and  aged  widows  should  be  chosen  deaconesses,  who,  with  the 
deacons,  may  visit,  comfort,  and  provide  for  poor,  weak,  infirm,  distressed  and  in- 
digent persons,  as  also  to  visit  widows  and  orphans ;  and  further,  assist  in  taking 
care  of  the  concerns  of  the  church,  according  to  their  ability. 

And  further  respecting  deacons,  that  they,  particularby  when  they  are  capable, 
being  elected  and  ordained  thereto  by  the  church,  for  the  relief  and  assistance  of  the 
elders,  may  admonish  the  members  of  the  church,  being  appointed  thereto,  and  labor 
in  word  and  doctrine,  assisting  one  another  out  of  love  with  the  gift  received  of  the 
Lord;  by  which  means,  through  the  mutual  service  and  assistance  of  every  member, 
according  to  his  measure,  the  body  of  Christ  may  be  edified,  and  the  vine  and  church 
of  the  Lord  may  grow  up,  increase,  and  be  preserved. 

10.  Of  the  Holy  Sapper. — We  likewise  confess  and  observe  a  breaking  of  bread,  or 
pupper,  which  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  instituted  with  bread  and  wme  before  his  pas- 
sion, did  eat  it  with  his  Apostles,  and  commanded  it  to  be  kept  in  remembrance  of 
himself;  which  they  consequently  taught  and  observed  in  the  church,  and  com- 
manded to  be  kept  by  believers,  in  remembrance  of  the  sufferings  and  death  of  the 
Lord,  and  that  his  body  was  broken,  and  his  precious  blood  was  shed  for  us,  and  for 
the  whole  human  family ;  as  also  the  fruits  thereof,  namely,  redemption  and  ever- 
lasting salvation,  which  he  procured  thereby,  exhibiting  so  great  love  towards  sin- 
ners, by  which  we  are  greatly  admonished  to  love  one  another,  to  love  our  neigh- 
bour, forgiving  him.  as  he  has  done  unto  us,  and  we  are  to  strive  to  preserve  the 
unity  and  fellowship  which  we  have  with  God  and  with  one  another,  which  is  also 
represented  to  us,  in  the  breaking  of  bread. 

11.  Of  Washingtiie  Saints'  Feet. — We  also  confess  the  washing  of  the  saints'  feet, 
which  the  Lord  not  only  instituted  and  commanded,  but  he  actually  washed  his 
Apostles'  feet,  although  he  was  their  Lord  and  Master,  and  gave  them  an  example 
that  they  should  wash  one  another's  feet,  and  do  as  he  had  done  unto  them :  they, 
as  a  matter  of  course,  taught  the  believers  to  observe  this  as  a  sign  of  true  humility, 
and  particularly  as  directing  the  mind  by  feet-washing,  to  that  right  washing,  by 
which  we  are  washed  in  his  blood,  and  have  our  souls  made  pure. 

Of  Matrimony  or  Sta'.e  of  Marriage. — We  confess  that  there  is  in  the  church,  an 
honorable  marriage  between  two  believers,  as  God  ordained  it  in  the  beginning,  in 
paradise,  and  instituted  it  between  Adam  and  Eve;  as  also  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  149 

opposed  and  did  away  the  abuses  of  marriage,  which  had  crept  in,  and  restored  it  to 
its  primitive  institution. 

In  this  manner,  the  Apostle  Paul  also  taught  marriage  in  the  Church ;  and  left  it 
free  for  every  one.  according  to  its  primitive  institution,  to  be  married  in  the  Lord,  to 
any  one  who  may  consent ;  by  the  phrase,  in  the  Lord,  we  think  it  ought  to  be  un- 
derstood, that  as  the  patriarchs  had  to  marry  among  their  own  kindred  or  relatives, 
so  likewise  the  believers  of  the  New  Testament  are  not  at  liberty  to  marry,  except 
among  the  chosen  generation  and  the  spiritual  kindred  or  relatives  of  Christ ;  namely 
such  and  no  others,  as  have  been  united  to  the  church,  as  one  heart  and  soul,  having 
received  baptism  and  stand  in  the  same  communion,  faith,  doctrine,  and  conversation, 
before  they  become  united  in  marriage.  Such  are  then  joined  together  according  to 
the  original  ordinance  of  God  in  his  church,  and  this  is  called  marrying  in  the  Lord. 

13.  Of  the  Magistracy. — We  believe  and  confess,  that  God  instituted  and  appoint- 
ed authority  and  a  magistracy  for  the  punishing  of  the  evil-doers,  and  to  protect  the 
good ;  as  also  to  govern  the  world,  and  preserve  the  good  order  of  cities  and  coun- 
tries ;  hence,  we  dare  not  despise,  gainsay  or  resist  the  same ;  but  we  must  acknow- 
ledge the  magistracy  as  the  minister  of  God,  be  subject  and  obedient  thereunto  in  all 
good  works,  especially  in  all  things  not  repugnant  to  God's  law,  will  and  command- 
ment ;  also  faithfully  pay  tribute  and  tax,  and  render  that  which  is  due,  even  as  the 
Son  of  God  taught  and  practised,  and  commanded  his  disciples  to  do  ;  that  it  is  our 
duty,  constantly  and  earnestly  to  pray  to  the  Lord  for  the  government,  its  prosperity, 
and  the  welfare  of  the  country,  that  we  may  live  under  its  protection,  gain  a  live- 
lihood, and  lead  a  quiet,  peaceable  life,  in  all  godliness  and  sobrietjr.  And  further, 
that  the  Lord  may  reward  them  in  time  and  eternity,  for  all  the  favors,  benefits,  and 
the  liberty  we  here  enjoy  under  their  praiseworthy  administration. 

14.  Of  Defence  or  Revenge. — As  regards  revenge,  or  defence,  iu  which  men  resist 
their  enemies  with  the  sword  :  we  believe  and  confess,  that  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
forbade  his  disciples,  his  followers,  all  revenge  and  defence,  and  commanded  them, 
besides,  not  to  render  evil  for  evil,  nor  railing  for  railing,  but  to  sheath  their  swords, 
or  in  the  words  of  the  prophet,  "  to  beat  them  into  ploughshares." 

Hence,  it  is  evident,  according  to  his  example  and  doctrine,  that  we  should  not 
provoke  or  do  violence  to  any  man,  but  we  are  to  seek  and  promote  the  welfare  and 
happiness  of  all  men ;  even,  when  necessary,  to  flee,  for  the  Lord's  sake,  from  one 
country  to  another,  and  take  patiently  the  spoiling  of  our  goods  ;  but  to  do  violence 
to  no  man :  when  we  are  smitten  on  one  cheek  to  turn  the  other,  rather  than  take 
revenge  or  resent  evil.  And,  moreover,  that  we  must  pray  for  our  enemies,  feed 
and  refresh  them  when  they  are  hungry  or  thirsty,  and  thus  convince  them  by  kind- 
ness, and  overcome  all  ignorance.  Finally,  that  we  should  do  good,  and  approve 
ourselves  to  the  consciences  of  all  men ;  and,  according  to  the  law  of  Christ,  do  unto 
others  as  we  would  wish  them  to  do  unto  us. 

15.  Of  Oaths  or  Swearing. — Respecting  judicial  oaths,  we  believe  and  confess,  that 
Christ  our  Lord  did  forbid  his  disciples  the  use  of  them,  and  commanded  them  that 
they  should  not  swear  at  all ;  but  that  yea  should  be  yea,  and  nay,  nay.  Hence  we 
infer,  that  all  oaths,  greater  and  minor,  are  prohibited ;  and  that  we  must,  instead  of 
oaths,  confirm  all  our  promises  and  assertions,  nay,  all  our  declarations  or  testimo- 
nies, in  every  case,  with  the  word  yea  in  that  which  is  yea ;  and  with  nay  in  that 
which  is  nay ;  hence,  we  should  always  and  in  all  cases  perform,  keep,  follow,  and 
live  up  to  our  word  or  engagement  as  fully  as  if  we  had  confirmed  and  established  it 
by  an  oath.  And  we  do  this ;  we  have  the  confidence  that  no  man,  not  even  the 
magistrate,  will  have  just  reason  to  lay  a  more  grievous  burden  on  our  mind  and 
conscience. 

16.  Of  Ecclesiastical  Excommunication  or  Separation  from  the  Church. — "We  also 
believe  and  profess  a  ban,  excommunication,  or  separation,  and  Christian  correction 


150  AMERICAN*   CHRISTIAN*  RECORD. 

in  the  church,  for  amendment,  and  not  for  destruction,  whereby  the  clean  or  pure 
may  be  separated  from  the  unclean  or  denied.  Namely,  if  any  one,  after  having 
been  enlightened,  and  has  attained  to  the  knowledge  of  the  truth,  and  has  been  re- 
ceived into  the  fellowship  of  the  saints,  sins  either  voluntarriy  or  presumptuously 
against  God,  or  unto  death,  and  falls  into  the  unfruitful  works  of  darkness,  by  which 
he  separates  himself  from  God,  and  is  debarred  his  kingdom;  such  a  person,  we 
believe,  when  the  deed  is  manifest  and  the  church  has  sufficient  evidence,  ought  not 
to  remain  in  the  congregation  of  the  righteous  ;  but  shall  and  must  be  separated  as 
an  offending  member  and  an  open  sinner ;  be  excommunicated  and  reproved  in  the 
presence  of  all,  and  purged  out  as  leaven ;  and  this  is  to  be  done  for  his  own  amend- 
ment, and  an  example  and  terror  to  others,  that  the  church  be  kept  pure  from  such 
foul  spots ;  lest,  in  default  of  this,  the  name  of  the  Lord  be  blasphemed,  the  church 
dishonored,  and  a  stumbling-block  and  cause  of  offence  be  given  to  them  that  are 
without ;  in  fine,  that  the  sinner  may  not  be  damned  with  the  world,  but  become 
convicted,  repent,  and  reform. 

Further,  regarding  brotherly  reproof  .or  admonition,  as  also  the  instruction  of  those 
who  err,  it  is  necessary  to  use  all  care  and  diligence  to  observe  them,  instructing 
them  with  all  meekness  to  their  own  amendment,  and  reproving  the  obstinate  accord- 
ing as  the  case  may  require.  In  short,  that  the  church  must  excommunicate  him 
that  sins  either  in  doctrine  or  life,  and  no  other. 

17.  Of  Shunning  or  Avoiding  the  Sparated  or  Excommimicaied. — Touching  the  avoid- 
ing of  the  separated,  we  believe  and  confess,  that  if  any  one  has  so  far  fallen  off, 
either  by  a  wicked  life  or  perverted  doctrine,  that  he  is  separated  from  God,  and 
consequently  is  justly  separated  from  and  corrected  or  punished  by  the  church,  such 
a  person  must  be  shunned,  according  to  the  doctrine  of  Christ  and  his  apostles,  and 
avoided  without  partiality  by  all  the  members  of  the  church,  especially  by  those  to 
whom  it  is  known,  whether  in  eating  or  drinking,  or  other  similar  temporal  matters ; 
and  the}*  shall  have  no  dealings  with  him :  to  the  end  that  they  may  not  be  con- 
taminated by  intercourse  with  him,  nor  made  partakers  of  his  sins ;  but  that  the 
sinner  may  be  made  ashamed,  be  convicted,  and  again  led  to  repentance. 

That  there  be  used,  as  well  in  the  avoidance  as  in  the  separation,  such  moderation 
and  Christian  charity  as  may  have  a  tendency,  not  to  promote  his  destruction,  but  to 
ensure  his  reformation.  For,  if  he  is  poor,  hungry,  thirsty,  naked,  sick,  or  in  distress, 
we  are  in  duty  bound,  according  to  necessity,  and  agreeably  to  love  and  to  the  doc- 
trine of  Christ  and  his  apostles,  to  render  him  aid  and  assistance ;  otherwise,  in  such 
cases,  the  avoidance  might  tend  more  to  his  ruin  than  to  his  reformation. 

Hence,  we  must  not  consider  excommunicated  members  as  enemies,  but  admonish 
them  as  brethren,  in  order  to  bring  them  to  knowledge,  repentance,  and  sorrow  for 
their  sins,  that  they  may  be  reconciled  with  God  and  his  church ;  and,  of  course,  be 
received  again  into  the  church,  and  so  may  continue  in  love  towarde  him,  as  his  case 
demands. 

18.  Of  the  Resurrection  of  the  Dead  and  the  last  Judgment. — Relative  to  the  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead,  we  believe  and  confess,  agreeably  to  the  scriptures,  that  all  men 
who  have  died  and  fallen  asleep,  shall  be  awakened,  quickened,  and  raised  on  the 
last  day,  by  the  incomprehensible  power  of  God ;  and  that  these,  together  with  those 
that  are  then  alive,  and  who  shall  be  changed  in  the  twinkling  of  an  eye,  at  the 
sound  of  the  last  trumpet,  shall  be  placed  before  the  judgment  seat  of  Christ,  and  the 
good  be  separated  from  the  wicked ;  that  then  every  one  shall  receive  in  his  own 
body  according  to  his  works,  whether  they  be  good  or  evil ;  and  that  the  good  and 
pious  shall  be  taken  up  with  Christ,  as  the  blessed,  enter  into  everlasting  life,  and 
obtain  that  joy,  which  no  eye  hath  seen,  nor  ear  heard,  nor  mind  conceived,  to  reign 
and  triumph  with  Christ  from  everlasting  to  everlasting. 

And  that,  on  the  contrary,  the  wicked  or  impious  shall  be  driven  away  as  accursed, 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  151 

and  tlirust  down  into  utter  darkness ;  nay,  into  everlasting  pains  ©f  hell,  where  the 
worm  dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched :  and  that  they  shall  never  have  any 
prospect  of  hope,  comfort,  or  redemption. 

May  the  Lord  grant  that  none  of  us  may  meet  the  fate  of  the  wicked ;  but  that  we 
may  take  heed  and  be  diligent,  so  that  we  may  be  found  before  him  in  peace,  without 
spot  and  blameless.     Amen. 


REFORMED  MENXOXITE  SOCIETY. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  present  century,  good  men  among  the  Mennonites,  in 
Lancaster  count}",  Pennsylvania,  observed  with  pain  that  many  in  the  church,  minis- 
ters and  laity,  had  sadly  fallen  from  the  integrity  of  her  faith  and  practice,  both  con- 
forming to  the  wishes  and  customs  of  the  world  more  than  was  accordant  with  the 
principles  by  which  they  professed  to  be  governed.  Impurity  of  doctrine  had 
stealthily  crept  in,  and  quietly  and  gradually  established  itself.  Laxity  in  church  prac- 
tice, too,  had  grown,  till  it  had  become  an  evil.  While  it  could  not  be  denied,  that 
the  members,  in  their  daily  lives,  were  going  over,  step  by  step,  to  the  manners  and 
usages  of  the  worldly,  till  there  seemed  to  be  no  longer  any  dividing  line  between 
them  and  those  who  made  no  profession  of  their  faith.  Pride  and  ostentation  had 
taken  the  place  of  humility,  religion  had  become  a  mere  thing  of  custom,  and,  what 
was  more,  the  ministry  were  willing  to  follow,  rather  than  lead,  the  people. 

These  views  of  the  degenerated  state  of  the  church,  gave  the  observers  great  un- 
easiness. They,  from  time  to  time,  warned  the  brethren  of  whither  they  were  tend- 
ing ;  but  meeting  only  with  unkindness,  uncharitableness  and  ill  treatment,  they,  in 
1811,  withdrew,  and  set  about  re-establishing  the  church  in  her  original  purity,  both 
in  doctrine  and  in  practice.  In  this  they  sought  not  so  much  to  build  up  a  new  and 
separate  society — though  to  this  they  were  reduced — as  to  renovate  and  purify  the 
old.  They  met  with  much  persecution,  both  from  their  former  brethren  and  those  of 
other  denominations ;  but,  conscious  of  the  need  of  their  work  and  the  pious  integrity 
of  their  motives,  they  proceeded  undismayed,  till  they  had  placed  the  society  on  a 
solid  foundation. 

The  reform  extended  from  Lancaster  into  Montgomery,  and  other  counties,  and 
now  the  society  has  congregations  in  these,  and  a  few  other  counties  in  Pennsyl- 
vania, in  Ohio,  Indiana,  New  York,  here  and  there  in  the  Western  States,  and  in 
Canada. 

Their  doctrines,  however,  are  too  rigid  for  general  acceptance,  and  they  progress 
but  slowly;  numbering,  to-day,  as  nearly  as  can  be  arrived  at,  about  11,000. 

Their  ministers  receive  no  fixed  salaries.  Baptism  is  administered  to  adults  only, 
and  is  performed  by  pouring  water  upon  the  head  of  the  subject.  It  is  considered 
unlawful  to  take  an  oath  on  any  occasion.  War,  in  all  its  shapes,  is  unchristian  and 
unjust,  and  to  repel  force  by  force,  contrary  to  the  express  command  of  the  Saviour. 
At  their  meetings,  every  one  has  the  privilege  of  exhorting  and  expounding  the 
scriptures.     Xone  of  their  members  are  permitted  to  become  a  public  charge. 

They  are  a  worthy,  honest  and  exemplary  people.  Like  their  former  brethren, 
they  consider  it  one"of  the  vanities  of  denominations  to  make  a  parade  of  their  num- 
bers, and  keep  no  records — at  least  none  that  are  accessible — of  the  number  of  their 
ministers  and  members. 


152  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 


ARTICLES   OF   DOCTRINE. 

1.  God. — They  believe  and  confess,  according  to  scripture,  in  one  Eternal,  Al- 
mighty, and  Incomprehensible  God,  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  G-host,  and  no  more, 
and  no  other;  who  works  all  in  all,  and  is  the  Creator  of  all  things,  visible  and  in- 
visible ;  and  that  he  created  our  first  parents  after  his  own  image  and  likeness,  in 
righteousness  and  true  holiness,  unto  eternal  life ;  and  that  he  endowed  them  with 
many  and  great  gifts,  and  placed  them  in  paradise,  and  gave  them  a  command  and 
prohibition. 

2.  The  Fall. — They  believe  and  confess  that  our  first  parents  were  created  with  a 
free  will,  susceptible  of  change ;  and  that  they  were  at  liberty  to  fear,  serve,  and 
obey  their  Creator,  or  disobey  and  forsake  him ;  and  that,  through  the  subtlety  of  the 
serpent,  and  the  envy  of  the  devil,  they  transgressed  the  command  of  God,  and  dis- 
obej-ed  their  Creator ;  by  which  disobedience  sin  and  death  came  into  the  world,  and 
thus  passed  upon  all  men.  They  also  believe  that,  by  this  one  sin,  they  were  driven 
from  paradise,  became  so  far  fallen,  separated,  and  estranged  from  God,  that  neither 
they  nor  their  posterity,  nor  any  other  creature  in  heaven  or  on  earth,  could  redeem 
or  reconcfle  them  to  God ;  and  that  they  would  have  been  eternally  lost,  had  not 
God  interposed  with  his  love  and  mercy. 

3.  God's  Mercy. — They  believe  and  confess,  that  God,  notwithstanding  their  fall 
and  transgression,  did  not  wish  to  cast  them  away,  and  have  them  eternally  lost  ; 
but  that  he  called  them  again  to  him,  comforted  them,  and  testified  that  there  was 
yet  a  means  of  reconciliation ;  namely,  that  the  Son  of  God,  who  was  appointed  unto 
this  purpose  before  the  foundation  of  the  world,  and  who  was  promised  unto  them 
and  their  posterity,  for  their  reconciliation  and  redemption,  while  yet  in  paradise, 
from  that  time  forth  was  bestowed  upon  them  by  faith. 

4.  Jesus  Christ. — They  believe  and  confess,  that  when  the  time  of  the  promise 
was  fulfilled,  this  promised  Messiah  proceeded  from  God,  was  sent,  and  came  into 
the  world,  and  thus  the  Word  was  made  flesh  and  man ;  they  also  believe,  that  his 
going  forth  is  from  everlasting  to  everlasting,  without  beginning  of  days,  or  end  of 
life :  that  he  is  the  beginning  and  the  end,  the  first  and  the  last ;  and,  also,  that  he 
was  God's  first  and  only  Son,  and  who  was  the  Lord  of  David,  and  the  God  of  the 
world. 

They  further  believe,  that  when  he  had  fulfilled  his  course,  he  was  delivered  into 
the  hands  of  the  wicked ;  was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried ;  rose  again  on  the  third 
day,  ascended  to  heaven,  and  sits  on  the  right  hand  of  the  majesty  of  God ;  from 
whence  he  will  come  again  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead.  And  that  through  his 
death,  and  the  shedding  of  his  blood  for  all  men,  he  bruised  the  serpent's  head, 
destroyed  the  works  of  the  devil,  and  obtained  the  forgiveness  of  sins  for  the  whole 
human  family. 

5.  The  Neva  Testament. — They  believe  and  confess,  that  previously  to  his  ascension 
he  instituted  and  left  h;s  Xew  Testament,  which  he  confirmed  and  sealed  with  his 
blood,  and  commended  it  so  highly  to  his  disciples,  that  it  i3  not  to  be  altered,  nor 
added  to,  nor  diminished.  And  that,  inasmuch  as  it  contains  the  whole  will  of  his 
heavenly  Father,  he  has  caused  it  to  be  promulgated  over  the  earth,  and  appointed 
apostles,  missionaries,  and  ministers,  to  teach  it  in  his  name  to  all  people,  nations, 
and  tongues ;  and  has  therein  declared  all  men  his  children  and  lawful  heirs,  pro- 
vided they  live  up  to  the  same  by  faith. 

6.  Repentance. — They  believe  and  confess,  that  the  first  lesson  of  the  New  Testa- 
ment of  the  Son  of  God  is  repentance  and  reformation  ;  hence  it  is  their  opinion,  that 
men  must  reform  their  lives,  believe  in  the  gospel,  desist  from  sin,  forsake  unright- 

\ 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  153 

eousness,  sacrifice  the  old  man  with  all  his  works,  and  put  on  the  new  man  created 
after  God  in  unsullied  holiness. 

7.  Baptism. — As  regards  baptism,  they  confess,  that  all  penitent  believers,  who  by 
faith,  regeneration,  and  renewing  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  are  made  one  with  God,  must, 
upon  their  scriptural  confession  of  faith,  and  reformation  of  life,  be  baptised  with 
water,  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  agreeably  to 
the  doctrine  and  commandment  of  Christ ;  whereupon  they  must  learn  to  observe  all 
which  the  Son  of  God  taught  and  commanded  his  disciples. 

8.  The  Church. — They  believe  and  confess  a  visible  Church  of  God ;  namely,  those 
that  are  made  one  with  God  in  heaven,  and  received  into  the  fellowship  of  the  saints 
here  on  earth.  They  also  confess,  that  the  same  are  the  chosen  people,  the  royal 
priesthood,  the  holy  nation,  and  the  children  and  heirs  of  everlasting  life,  a  dwelling- 
place  of  God  in  the  spirit,  built  upon  the  foundation  of  the  apostles  and  prophets, 
Christ  being  the  chief  corner-stone,  upon  which  the  church  is  built ;  and  this  church 
must  be  known  by  her  obedience  to  her  supreme  Head  and  King ;  in  all  matters  of 
faith  to  obey  him,  and  to  keep  all  his  commandments ;  and  as  a  virgin  and  bride  for- 
sakes father,  mother,  and  all  strange  company,  and  yields  herself  to  the  will  of  her 
bridegroom,  so  all  the  true  children  of  God,  must  separate  from  all  false  worship, 
flee  from  the  voice  of  strangers,  and  give  ear  unto  no  one,  except  Christ  and  his  com- 
missioned ministers. 

9.  Church  Offices. — "With  regard  to  the  offices  and  elections  of  the  church,  they  be- 
lieve and  confess,  that  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  himself  instituted  and  ordained  offices, 
and  ordinances,  and  gave  directions  how  every  one  should  do  that  which  is  right  and 
necessary ;  and  further,  that  he  provided  his  church,  before  his  departure,  with  min- 
isters, evangelists,  pastors,  and  teachers,  in  order  that  they  might  govern  the  church, 
watch  over  his  flock,  and  defend  and  provide  for  it ;  that  the  Apostles  likewise  elected 
brethren,  and  provided  every  city,  place,  or  church  with  bishops,  pastors  and  lead- 
ers ;  and  that  they  always  had  to  be  sound  in  faith,  virtuous  in  life  and  conversa- 
tion, and  of  good  report  both  in  and  out  of  the  church,  in  order  that  they  might  be 
an  example  in  all  good  and  virtuous  deeds. 

10.  The  Lord's  Supper. — They  also  confess,  and  observe  a  breaking  of  bread  or  sup- 
per, which  Christ  instituted  with  bread  and  wine  before  his  suffering,  ate  it  with  his 
apostles,  and  commanded  it  to  be  kept  in  remembrance  of  himself,  which  they  con 
sequently  taught  and  practised  in  the  church,  and  c  ommanded  it  to  be  kept  by  all 
true  believers  in  remembrance  of  the  sufferings  and  death  of  the  Lord ;  and  that 
his  body  was  broken,  and  his  precious  blood  shed  for  the  benefit  of  the  whole 
human  race ;  the  fruits  of  which  are  redemption  and  everlasting  salvation,  which  he 
procured  thereby,  manifesting  so  great  love  towards  sinners,  by  which  all  true  be- 
lievers are  greatly  admonished  to  love  one  another,  even  as  he  has  loved  them;  and 
as  many  grains  are  united  together  into  one  bread,  and  many  grapes  into  one  cup  of 
wine :  so  shall  they  as  many  members  be  united  into  one  bod}',  and  all  partakers  of 
the  same  bread ;  and  without  this  union  of  spirit,  and  t£gte  holiness,  no  one  can  be 
admitted  to  this  holy  supper. 

11.  The  Washing  of  Feet. — They  also  confess  the  washing  of  the  saints' feet,  be- 
cause the  Lord  not  onjy  commanded  it,  but  actually  washed  the  feet  of  his  disciples, 
although  he  was  their  Lord  and  Master;  and  by  so  doing,  he  gave  them  an  example, 
which  they  were  necessitated  to  follow.  Besides,  they  believe  it  their  duty  to  con- 
sider with  profound  meditation,  how  the  blessed  Son  of  God  humbled  himself,  not 
only  in  washing  his  disciples'  feet,  but  much  rather,  hecause  he  washed  and  purified 
our  souls,  with  his  precious  blood,  from  all  the  pollution  of  eternal  death. 

12.  Marriage. — With  regard  to  marriage,  they  believe  there  is  in  the  church  an 
honorable  marriage,  between  two  believers,  as  God  ordained  in  the  beginning  in 
paradise,  and  instiuted  it  between  Adam  and  Eve ;  as  also  Christ  opposed  and  re- 


154  AMERICAS  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

formed  the  abuses  that  had  taken  place,  and  restored  it  to  its  original  condition. 
They  further  believe,  that  as  the  patriarchs  had  to  marry  among  their  own  kindred, 
so  likewise,  the  followers  of  Christ  are  not  at  liberty  to  marry,  except  such,  and  no 
others,  as  have  been  united  with  the  church  as  one  heart,  and  one  soul,  and  stand  in 
the  same  communion,  faith,  and  doctrine. 

13.  Magistracy. — They  confess  and  believe,  that  God  instituted  and  appointed  au- 
thority and  the  magistracy  as  a  punishment  for  evil-doers,  and  a  protection  for  the 
good ;  hence  they  dare  not  gainsay  or  resist  it ;  but  must  acknowledge  the  magistracy 
as  the  minister  of  G-od,  be  subject  and  obedient  in  all  things,  not  repugnant  to  God's 
law  and  commandments ;  also  faithfully  pay  tribute  and  tax,  and  render  that  which 
is  due,  as  Christ  taught,  practised  and  commanded  his  disciples  to  do ;  and  also,  that 
it  is  their  duty  to  pray  constantly  for  the  prosperity  of  the  Government  and  welfare 
of  the  country.  They  further  believe  that,  as  Christ  avoided  the  grandeur  of  this 
world,  and  conducted  himself  as  an  humble  minister,  none  of  his  followers  must 
discharge  the  duties  of  a  magisterial  office,  or  any  branch  of  it,  following,  in  this,  the 
example  of  Christ  and  his  apostles,  under  whose  church  these  specified  offices  were 
not  administered ;  and  as  they  are  instructed  not  to  hold  any  worldly  office  whatever, 
they  likewise  think  themselves  deprived  of  the  liberty  of  elevating  others  to  a  magis- 
terial, or  any  other  office. 

14.  Worldly  Power. — Concerning  the  spiritual  kingdom  of  Christ,  they  confess  and 
believe,  that  it  is  not  of  this  world;  and  that  he  dissuaded  all  his  ministers  and  fol- 
lowers from  all  worldly  power,  forbidding  the  same,  and  instituted  a  diversity  of 
offices  in  his  'church,  whereby  the  saints  may  be  joined  together,  so  as  to  build  up 
the  body  of  Christ ;  and  that  they  must  not  be  equipped  with  carnal  weapons ;  but, 
on  the  contrary,  with  the  armor  of  God,  and  the  sword  of  the  Spirit,  which  is  the 
word  of  God,  in  order  that  they  may  be  enabled  to  fight  against,  and  overcome 
flesh  and  blood — the  allurements  of  the  world  and  sin — and  thus,  finally  to  overcome 
and  receive,  through  grace,  the  crown  of  everlasting  life,  from  this  our  Eternal  King, 
as  their  recompense  and  reward. 

15.  Revenge. — As  regards  revenge,  they  believe  and  confess  that  Christ  did  forbid 
his  disciples  all  revenge  and  defence,  and  commanded  them  not  to  render  evil  for 
evil ;  hence  they  consider  it  evident,  according  to  his  example  and  doctrine,  that  they 
should  not  provoke  or  do  violence  to  any  man,  or  enter  into  any  legal  process,  but 
seek  to  promote  the  welfare  and  happiness  of  all  men ;  and  that  they  should  pray  for 
their  enemies,  feed  and  refresh  them  when  hungry  or  thirsty,  and  thus  convince  them 
by  kindness,  and  overcome  all  ignorance  by  doing  unto  others  as  they  would  that 
others  should  do  unto  them. 

16.  Oaths. — Respecting  oaths,  they  believe  and  confess  that  Christ  did  forbid  his 
disciples  the  use  of  them,  and  commanded  that  they  should  not  swear  at  all.  Hence, 
they  infer,  that  all  oaths,  greater  or  minor,  are  prohibited ;  and  that  they  must,  instead 
of  this,  confirm  all  their  declarations,  assertions,  and  testimonies  with  the  word  yea, 
in  that  which  is  yea,  and  nay,  in  that  which  is  nay.  Hence  they  should  always  per- 
form, follow,  keep  and  live  up  to  their  words,  as  though  they  had  confirmed  them 
with  an  oath. 

17.  Excommunication. — They  also  believe  and  confess  a  ban,  separation,  and  Chris- 
tian correction  in  the  church,  whereby  the  pure  may  be  distinguished  from  the  defiled. 
Namely,  if  any  one  who  has  embraced  religion,  aud  attained  the  knowledge  of  truth, 
sins,  either  voluntarily  or  presumptuously,  against  God,  or  unto  death :  they  believe 
that  such  a  person,  when  the  church  has  sufficient  evidence  of  the  case,  cannot  re- 
main in  the  congregation  of  the  righteous ;  but  shall  and  must  be  separated,  excom- 
municated and  reproved  in  the  presence  of  all,  and  considered  as  an  offending  mem- 
ber and  open  sinner ;  in  order  that  he  may' be  an  example  and  terror  to  the  others, 
and  that  the  church  may  remain  pure  and  undefiled.     And  concerning  brotherly 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  155 

reproofs  and  admonition,  they  consider  it  necessary  to  instruct  them  with  all  meekness 
to  their  own  amendment,  and  reprove  the  obstinate,  according  as  the  case  may 
require. 

18.  Separation  from  the  Wicked. — Respecting  the  avoiding  of  the  separated,  they 
believe  and  confess  that,  if  any  one,  by  a  wicked  life,  or  perverted  doctrine,  has 
separated  himself  from  God,  and  consequently  from  the  church,  he  must  be  shamed, 
according  to  the  doctrine  of  Christ  and  his  Apostles,  and  avoided,  without  partiality, 
by  all  members  of  the  church  unto  whom  it  is  known,  whether  in  eating,  drinking, 
or  other  similar  matters ;  and  that  they  should  have  no  dealings  with  him,  for  the 
purpose  of  making  the  sinner  ashamed,  be  convicted,  and  called  to  repentance. 

It  is  also  their  belief,  that  there  should  be  used  in  the  avoiding,  as  well  as  in  the 
separation,  such  moderation  and  Christian  charity  as  may  have  a  tendency  to  insure 
his  reformation ;  hence  the}7"  do  not  consider  them  as  enemies,  but  admonish  them  as 
brethren,  in  order  to  bring  them  to  knowledge,  and  be  reconciled  to  God  and  hia 
church. 

19.  The  Resurrection. — Relative  to  the  resurrection  of  the  dead,  they  believe  and 
confess,  agreeably  to  Scripture,  that  all  men  that  have  died,  shall  be  awakened, 
quickened,  and  raised  on  the  last  day,  by  the  incomprehensible  power  of  God ;  and 
that  these,  together  with  those  that  are  then  alive,  who  shall  be  changed  in  the 
twinkling  of  a  eye  at  the  sound  of  the  last  trumpet,  shall  be  placed  before  the 
judgment  seat  of  Christ;  and  that  the  good  will  be  separated  •from  the  wicked : 
that  then  every  one  shall  receive,  in  his  own  body,  according  to  his  works,  whether 
they  be  good  or  evil ;  and  that  the  good  or  pious  shall  be  taken  up  with  Christ,  as 
the  blessed,  enter  into  everlasting  life,  and  obtain  that  joy  which  no  eye  hath  seen, 
nor  ear  heard,  nor  mind  conceived,  to  reign  with  Christ  from  everlasting  to  ever- 
lasting. 

And  that,  on  the  contrary,  the  wicked  shall  be  driven  away  as  accursed,  and 
thrust  down  to  outer  darkness,  and  into  the  everlasting  pains  of  hell,  where  the  worm 
dieth  not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched,  and  that  they  shall  not  have  any  prospect  of 
nope,  comfort,  or  redemntion. 


NEW   CHURCH,    OR   SWEDEXBORGIAXS. 

This  society  accepts  for  its  rule  of  faith  and  discipline,  the  Holy  Scriptures  as 
interpreted  by  Emanuel  Swedenborg,  attention  to  whose  life,  doctrines,  and  writ- 
ings was  first  called,  in  the  United  States,  by  a  Mr.  Glen,  who.  in  1784,  lectured 
upon  them  in  Philadelphia,  and  a  few  other  places,  with  slight  and  indeterminate 
success.  He  was  succeeded,  upon  these  topics,  by  the  Rev.  Wm.  Hill,  an  English 
clergyman,  who,  in  1794,  and  again  in  1804.  visited  the  United  States,  and  preached 
the  doctrines  of  the  New  Church  with  acceptance  in  several  places  in  Massachusetts 
and  a  few  of  the  Atlantic  cities.  The  first  American  minister  was  ordained  in  1798, 
since  when  the  society  has  been  making  slow  but  certain  progress.  Hitherto,  its 
members  have  been  composed,  nearly  to  a  man,  of  persons  dissatisfied  with  their 
faith  in  other  churches,  but  found  peace  and  satisfaction  in  this.  But  better  pros- 
pects are  now  before  it  in  this  respect,  in  the  form  of  Sabbath  schools  and  Bible 
classes,  from  which  nurseries  it  reasonably  looks  forward  to  a  healthy  and  steady 
growth  of  members,  under  God,  of  its  own  raising. 

The  weight  and  character  of  its  doctrines  are  not  of  a  nature  to  appeal  to  any  but 
Divine  Love.     The  Omnipotence,  Omniscience  and  Omnipresence  of  God  cannot  be 


15(5  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

intelligent  mind?,  which,  indeed,  alone  can  comprehend  them ;  and  as  they  make  but 
slight  impression  when  not  intelligently  understood,  they  have  but  little  fascination 
for  the  multitude,  while  few  of  those  who  carefully  examine  and  adopt  them,  subse- 
quently relinquish  them  for  others.  For  this,  and  the  further  reason  that  the  society 
employs  no  illegitimate  methods  for  attracting  attention,  preferring  to  trust  to  instru- 
mentalities that  will  commend  themselves  to  the  enlightened  judgment  of  hearers 
and  readers,  the  progiess  of  the  church,  compared  with  that  of  others,  has  been  slow. 
To  this,  in  fairness,  must  be  added,  the  humiliating  fact,  that  influential  ministers  and 
journals  of  other  denominations,  have  frequently  so  far  descended  from  the  platform 
on  which  they  profess  to  stand,  as  to  misrepresent — we  hope,  ignoranti}' — both  its 
founder  and  professors,  as  well  as  its  doctrines  and  character,  and  thus  neutralized 
in  a  great  degree  its  efforts  to  obtain  a  hearing.  It  has,  however,  in  this  met  only 
with  the  common  lot,  and  it  is  now — slowly,  it  is  true,  as  we  have  said,  but  still 
certainly — emerging  out  into  light  and  freedom,  and  taking  a  modest  but  firm  and 
recognized  stand  among  the  standard  denominations. 

Polity. — It  has  three  orders  of  clergy,  viz. :  ordaining  ministers,  ministers,  and 
pastors.  The  peculiar  duty  of  the  first  is  to  ordain  other  ministers,  to  grant  licenses, 
to  institute  societies,  and  preside  at  associations  and  conventions.  The  second,  per- 
forms all  the  duties  customarily  attendant  on  such  office,  viz. :  preaching,  administer- 
ing the  ordinance  of  baptism,  the  rite  of  confirmation,  and  the  sacrament  of  the  Lord's 
Supper,  solemnizing  marriages,  officiating  at  funerals,  &c.  The  third,  in  addition  to 
those  of  the  second,  performs  others  usually  indicated  by  his  title. 

Receivers  of  the  doctrines,  preparing  for  the  ministry,  may  be  licensed  by  an  or- 
daining minister,  for  a  term  not  exceeding  a  year  at  a  time,  to  lead  in  public  worship, 
to  read  the  scriptures,  to  say  the  prayers,  to  preach  the  doctrines  of  the  church,  and 
to  officiate  at  funerals. 

A  candidate  for  the  office  of  pastor  or  missionary,  must  be  a  member  in  good 
standing  of  some  regularly  instituted  society,  and  been  previously  licensed,  and  have 
officiated  under  such  license  for  a  term  of  not  less  than  one  year ;  and  must  be  in- 
vited hy  some  regularly  instituted  society  to  become  its  pastor,  or  be  recommended 
by  some  association,  or  by  the  committee  on  ecclesiastical  affairs,  and  executive  com- 
mittee of  the  convention. 

A  candidate  for  the  office  of  ordaining  minister  must  be  a  pastor  of  some  regularly 
instituted  society,  and  be  willing  to  perform  the  duties  of  such  office. 

The  society  meets  annually  in  a  General  Convention,  which  is  composed  of 
associations  and  other  collective  bodies  of  the  church,  and  isolated  receivers  of  its 
doctrines.  All  ministers  belonging  to  associations  in  connection  with  the  convention 
are  members.  Every  association  is  entitled  to  two  delegates ;  if  numbering  fifty 
members,  to  three,  and  one  additional  for  every  fifty  members.  The  representative 
or  representatives  of  every  association,  society  or  other  collective  bod}r,  is  entitled  to 
cast  the  whole  vote  its  ministers  or  delegates  would  be  entitled  to  if  fully  repre- 
sented. 

The  convention  has  a  publishing  house  for  the  publication  of  the  theological  writ- 
ings of  Swedenborg,  and  Other  important  collateral  works,  and  issues  a  weekly  journal, 
entitled,  "  The  New  Jerusalem  Messenger,"  a  monthly,  called  "The  New  Jerusalem 
Magazine,"  and  a  ';  Magazine  for  Children."  The  works  of  Swedenborg  are  put  at  a 
price  calculated  to  bring  them  into  general  circulation,  are  plainly  but  substantially 
produced,  and  printed  with  clear  type  on  white,  firm  paper.  The  periodicals  are 
edited  and  contributed  to  by  some  of  the  finest  minds  of  the  denomination,  and  are 
gradually  attaining  circulations  corresponding  to  their  merit. 

At  the  General  Convention  every  interest  of  the  church  is  cared  for  and  repre- 
sented. 

In  addition  to  the  publishing  house  of  the  General  Convention,  which  represents 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  157 

what  is  termed  the  High  Church  School,  there  is,  at  Boston,  Mass.,  another  under 
the  control  of  the  New  Church  Association,  (Low  Church,)  which  publishes  a  uni- 
form octavo  scries  of  the  theological  and  other  works  of  Swedenborg.  This  branch 
of  the  denomination  is  represented  in  the  East  by  a  monthly  magazine,  The  Sweden- 
borgkin,  and  in  the  West  by  the  New  Church  Herald,  a  weekly  journal  of  high  merit, 
large  folio  size,  and  elegant  appearance.  Beside  the  works  of  Swedenborg,  each  of 
the  publishing  concerns  issues  tracts  on  the  various  doctrines  of  the  Church,  a  litur- 
gy, and  a  few  important  collateral  works. 

The  publishing  house  of  the  General  Convention,  in  addition  to  publications  al- 
ready mentioned,  has  issued  several  of  the  doctrines  of  the  church  in  German,'  viz. : 
the  Doctrine  of  the  Lord,  of  Faith,  and  of  Life ;  and,  in  English,  a  Sabbath  School 
Manual. 

There  are  in  the  United  States,  as  nearly  as  can  be  computed,  about  100  societies, 
large  and  small ;  about  80  ministers ;  and  an  estimated  total  membership  of  between 
8,000  and  8,000. 

The  church  service,  by  liturgy,  strongly  resembles  the  Episcopal,  but  is  simpler 
and,  in  many  respects,  more  solemn  and  imposing. 

There  are  two  sacraments — Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper.  Baptism  represents 
the  removals  of  evils  and  falsities,  by  means  of  truth ;  the  Holy  Supper,  the  recep- 
tion of  truths  and  goods  from  the  Lord.  Persons  baptized  in  infancy,  or  childhood, 
are  confirmed  when  arrived  at  adult  age. 

The  leading  writers  of  the  New  Church  in  the  United  States  are,  Prof.  George 
Bush,  author  of  "Priesthood  and  Clergy,"  and  "The  Soul;"  fm.  B.  Hayden,  au- 
thor of  "Science  of  Revelation;"  W.  M.  Fernald,  author  of  "Compendiunl  of  the 
Life  and  Writings  of  Swedenborg;"  and  B.  S.  Barrett,  author  of  "Barrett's  Lec- 
tures," and  editor  of  "  The  Swedenborgian."  In  England  :  Rev.  J.  Clowes,  author 
of  "  Exposition  of  the  Four  Gospels;"  Rev.  Augustus  Plissold,  author  of  "A  Spirit- 
ual Exposition  of  the  Apocalypse  Revealed,"  and  translator  of  Swedenborg's  "Ani- 
mal Kingdom;"  and  Rev.  E.  D.  Rendall,  author  of  "  Post-Diluviau  History."  In 
France :  J.  E.  Le  Boys  Du  Guays,  author  of  "  Letters  to  a  Man  of  the  World  Dis- 
posed to  Believe,"  and  editor  of  "La  Nouvelle  Jerusalem  ;"  M.  Edouard  Richer,  au- 
thor of  "The  Key  to  the  Mystery;"  and  Messieurs  Tollenare,  Blanchet,  and  Count 
Portal.  In  Germany:  Dr.  J.  F.  E.  Tafel,  translator  of  the  "Arcana  Coelestia,"  and 
other  works  of  Swedenborg,  and  author  of  several  able  treatises  on  Swedenborg  and 
his  works. 

There  is  a  society  in  London  for  the  publication  of  Swedenborg's  theological 
works  into  English ;  and  another  for  the  translation  and  publication  of  his  philoso- 
phical and  scientific  works.  The  New  Church  Association  in  France  also  has,  at 
Paris,  a  society  for  the  publication  of  his  theological  works  into  French. 

In  England,  New  Church  doctrines  are  represented  in  the  "  London  Intellectual 
Repository,"  the  "  Juvenile  Magazine,"  and  the  "Monthly  Observer."  In  France, 
by  "  La  Nouvelle  Jerusalem."  In  England,  Ireland,  and  Scotland,  there  are  69  so- 
cieties, and  scattered  receivers  in  all  intelligent  parts  of  the  British  empire.  An  an- 
nual conference  of  the  society  is  held  in  London,  where,  as  in  the  United  States,  be- 
lievers are  divided  into  high  and  low  church. 

In  Sweden,  believers  in  New  Church  doctrines  are  becoming  numerous.  Small 
societies  may  be  found  in  many  parts  of  Germany,  and  receivers  in  every  place  of 
importance  in  Europe. 

New  Church  believers  accept  only  as  the  Books  of  the  Word  of  God,  the  Penta- 
teuch, Joshua,  Judges,  Samuel,  Kings,  the  Psalms,  all  the  Prophets  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment, and  the  four  Evangelists  and  Revelation  in  the  New.  They  regard  the  others 
as  containing  the  truth,  but  claim  that  they  do  not  contain  the  internal  sense,  nor 


158  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

come  within  that  connected  and  intimately  related  series  of  divine  truths,  which 
makes  the  Word  an  infinitely  complex  and  harmonious  whole. 

They  have  no  confession  of  faith,  as  such,  other  than  the  Holy  Scriptures,  of  which 
they  receive  Swedenborg's  interpretation  as  given  in  his  "  True  Christian  Religion," 
of  which  the  following  is  a  summary : 

TEACHINGS   OP   SWEDEXBORG. 

Of  God  the  Creator. — The  Holy  Scriptures  throughout,  and  the  doctrines  of  all 
Christian  Churches  thence  derived,  maintain  that  there  is  a  God,  and  that  he  is  One. 
There  is  an  influx  universal  from  God  into  the  Souls  of  Men,  teaching  them  that 
there  is  a  God,  and  that  He  is  One.  Hence  that  there  is  no  nation  throughout  the 
world,  possessed  either  of  religion  or  sound  reason,  but  confesseth  the  Being  of  a 
God,  and  that  He  is  One.  The  Nature  and  Qualities  of  this  One  God  are  subjects 
respecting  which  various  nations  and  People  have  differed,  and  do  still  differ,  in  their 
sentiments,  and  this  from  several  causes.  Human  reason,  if  it  be  so  disposed,  may 
collect,  and  be  convinced,  from  the  various  objects  in  the  visible  world,  that  there  is 
a  God,  and  that  He  is  One.  Unless  God  was  One,  the  Universe  could  neither  have 
been  created  nor  preserved.  Every  Man,  who  doth  not  acknowledge  a  God,  is  ex- 
communicated from  the  Church,  and  in  a  state  of  condemnation.  No  doctrine,  or 
worship  of  the  Church,  can  be  consistent  or  coherent  where  more  Gods  than  One 
are  acknowledged. 

Of  the  Divine  Esse,  u-hich  is  Jehovah, — The  one  God  is  called  Jehovah  from  his 
Esse,  that  is,  by  reason  that  He  alone  Is,  Was,  and  Will  be ;  and  because  He  is  the 
First  ahd  the  Last,  the  Beginning  and  the  Ending,  the  Alpha  and  the  Omega.  The 
One  God  is  Substance  Itself,  and  Form  Itself;  and  angels  and  men  are  substances 
and  forms  by  derivation  from  Him ;  and  so  far  as  they  are  in  Him,  and  He  in  them, 
they  are  Images  and  Likenesses  of  Him.  The  Divine  Esse  is  Esse  in  Itself,  and  at 
the  same  time  Existere  in  Itself.  The  Divine  Esse  and  Existere  in  Itself  cannot 
produce  another  Divine,  that  is  Esse  and  Existere  in  itself;  consequently,  another 
God  of  the  same  Essence  cannot  be  supposed.  A  plurality  of  gods  amongst  the 
ancients,  and  also  amongst  the  moderns,  had  its  rise  solely  in  consequence  of  the 
Divine  Esse  not  being  understood. 

Of  the  Infinity  of  God;  or,  of  His  Immensity  and  Eternity. — God  is  Infinite,  by 
reason  that  He  is,  and  existeth.  in  Himself,  and  that  all  things  in  the  universe  are, 
and  exist,  from  Him.  God  is  Infinite,  by  reason  that  He  was  before  the  world,  con- 
sequently before  spaces  and  times  had  birth.  God,  since  the  world  was  made,  is  in 
space  without  space,  and  in  time  without  time.  The  Infinity  of  God,  in  relation  to 
spaces  is  called  Immensity,  and  in  relation  to  times,  is  called  Eternity ;  and  yet,  not- 
withstanding these  relations,  there  is  nothing  of  space  in  His  Immensity,  and  nothing 
of  time  in  His  Eternity.  Enlightened  reason,  from  very  many  objects  in  the  world, 
may  discover  the  Infinity  of  God  the  Creator.  Every  created  thing  is  finite,  and  the 
Infinite  is  in  finite  things,  as  in  its  receptacles,  and  in  men,  as  in  its  images. 

Of  the  Divine  Essence,  which  is  Divine  Love  and  Divine  Wisdom. — God  is  Love  It- 
self, and  Wisdom  Itself,  and  those  two  constitute  His  Essence.  God  is  Good  Itself, 
and  Truth  Itself,  because  Good  is  of  Love,  and  Truth  is  of  Wisdom.  God,  by  reason 
of  His  being  Love  Itself,  and  Wisdom  Itself,  is  also  Life  Itself,  which  is  Life  in  Itself. 
Love  and  wisdom  in  God  make  One.  The  Essence  of  Love  is  to  love  others  out  of, 
or  without  itself,  to  desire  to  be  one  with  them,  and  from  itself  to  make  them  happy. 
These  properties  of  the  Divine  Love  were  the  cause  of  the  creation  of  the  universe, 
and  are  also  the  cause  of  its  preservation. 

Of  the  Omnipotence,  Omniscience,  and  Omnipresence  of  God. — Omnipotence,  Omnis- 
cience, and  Omnipresence,  are  properties  of  the  Divine  Wisdom  derived  from  the 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  159 

known,  uutil  it  be  known  what  is  meant  by  order,  and  until  these  its  properties  be 
ascertained;  that  God  is  Order,  and  that  He  introduced  order  into  the  universe,  and 
into  all  its  parts,  at  the  Creation.  The  Omnipotence  of  God  in  the  Universe  and  in 
all  its  parts,  proceedeth  and  operateth  according  to  the  laws  of  His  own  Order.  God 
is  Omniscient,  that  is,  perceiveth,  seeth,  and  knoweth  all  and  every  thing,  even  to 
the  most  minute,  that  is  done  according  to  order,  and  by  that  means  also  whatsoever 
is  done  contrary  to  order.  God  is  Omnipresent  in  all  the  gradations  of  His  own,* 
Order,  from  first  to  last.  Man  was  created  a  form  of  Divine  order.  Man  hath  power 
against  evil  and  the  false  from  the  Divine  Omnipotence,  and  Wisdom  respecting 
good  and  truth,  from  the  Divine  Omniscience,  and  is  in  God,  by  virtue  of  the  Divine 
Omnipresence,  only  in  proportion  as  He  liveth  according  to  Divine  order. 

Of  the  Lord  the  Redeemer. — Jehovah  God  descended,  and  assumed  the  humanity, 
for  the  purpose  of  redeeming  and  saving  mankind.  Jehovah  God  descended  as  Di- 
vine Truth,  which  is  the  Word ;  nevertheless,  He  did  not  separate  from  it  the  Divine 
Good.  God  assumed  the  humanity,  according  to  His  own  Divine  order.  The  hu- 
manity by  which  God  sent  Himself  into  the  World,  is  the  Son  of  God.  The  Lord,  by 
acts  of  redemption,  made  Himself  Eighteousness.  By  the  same  acts  the  Lord  united 
Himself  to  the  Father,  and  the  Father  united  Himself  to  Him.  Thus  God  was  made 
man,  and  man  God,  in  One  Person.  The  progress  towards  Union  was  His  state  of 
Exinanition,  and  that  the  Union  itself  is  His  state  of  Glorification.  Henceforth  no 
Christian  can  be  admitted  into  Heaven,  unless  he  believe  in  the  Lord  God  and 
Saviour,  and  approach  Him  alone. 

Of  Redemption. — Redemption  itself  consisted  in  bringing  the  hells  into  subjection, 
and  the  Heavens  into  order,  and  in  thus  preparing  the  way  for  a  new  spiritual 
Church.  Without  such  redemption  no  man  could  have  been  saved,  nor  could  the 
angels  have  remained  in  a  state  of  integrity.  Thus  the  Lord  not  only  redeemed  men, 
but  angels  also.  Redemption  was  a  work  purely  Divine.  This  real  redemption  could 
not  possibly  have  been  effected  but  by  God  Incarnate.  The  Passion  of  the  Cross 
was  not  redemption,  but  was  the  last  temptation,  which  the  Lord  endured  as  the 
Grand  Prophet;  and  it  was  the  means  of  the  glorification  of  His  humanity,  that  is, 
of  union  with  the  Divinity  of  His  Father.  It  is  a  fundamental  error  of  the  church  to 
believe  the-  passion  of  the  Cross  to  be  redemption  itself;  and  this  error,  together  with 
that  relating  to  Three  Divine  Persons  from  Eternity,  hath  perverted  the  whole 
Church,  so  that  nothing  spiritual  is  left  remaining  in  it. 

Of  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  of  the  Divine  Operation. — The  Holy  Spirit  is  the  Divine  Truth, 
and  also  the  Divine  Virtue  and  Operation,  proceeding  from  the  One  only  God,  in 
whom  is  a  Divine  Trinity;  consequently  proceeding  from  the  Lord  God  the  Saviour. 
The  Divine  Virtue  and  Operation,  signified  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  consists  in  general  in 
reformation  and  regeneration ;  and  in  proportion  as  these  are  affected,  in  renova- 
tion, vivification,  sanctification,  and  justification ;  and  in  proportion  as  these  are 
effected,  in  purification  from  evils,  remission  of  sins,  and  finally  salvation.  The 
Divine  Virtue  and  Operation  which  is  signified  by  the  mission  of  the  Holy  Spirit, 
consists,  with  the  clergy  in  particular,  in  illustration  and  instruction.  The  Lord 
operateth  those  virtues  in  such  as  believe  in  Him.  The  Lord  operateth  of  Himself 
from  the  Father,  and  not  vice  'versa.  The  spirit  of  man  is  his  mind,  and  whatsoever 
proceedeth  from  it. 

Of  the  Divine  Trinity. — There  is  a  Divine  Trinity,  consisting  of  Father,  Son,  and 
Holy  Spirit.  These  Three  are  the  three  Essentials  of  One  God,  which  make  One, 
like  soul,  bod}',  and  operation  in  man.  Before  the  creation  of  the  world  this  Trinity 
did  not  exist,  but  it  was  provided  and  made  since  the  creation,  when  God  was  made! 
Incarnate,  and  then  centred  in  the  Lord  God,  the  Redeemer  and  Saviour,  Jesus 
Christ.  A  Trinity  of  Divine  Persons  existing  from  Eternity,  or  before  the  creation 
of  the  world,  when  conceived  in  idea,  is  a  trinity  of  Gods,  which  cannot  be  expelled 


160  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

by  the  oral  confession  of  One  God.  A  trinity  of  persons  was  unknown  in  the  Apos» 
tolic  Church,  and  the  doctrine  was  first  broached  by  the  Council  of  Nice,  and  thence 
received  into  the  Roman  Catholic  Church,  and  thus  propagated  amongst  the  Re- 
formed churches.     The  Nicene  and  Athanasian  doctrines  concerning  a  Trinity  have 

f together  given  birth  to  a  Faith,  which  hath  entirely  perverted  the  Christian  church ; 

"  hence  is  come  that  abomination  of  desolation,  and  that  affliction,  such  as  was  not  in 
all  the  world,  neither  shall  be,  which  the  Lord  hath  foretold  in  Daniel,  and  the  Evan- 
gelists, and  the  Revelation.  Hence,  too,  is  come  to  pass,  that  unless  a  New  Heaven 
and  a  New  Church  be  established  by  the  Lord,  no  flesh  can  be  saved.  A  trinity  of 
persons,  each  whereof  singly  and  by  himself  is  God,  according  to  the  Athanasian 
Creed,  hath  given  birth  to  many  absurd  and  heterogeneous  notions  about  God,  which 
are  merely  fanciful  and  abortive, 

Of  the  Sacred  Scripture,  or  Word  of  the  Lord. — The  Sacred  Scripture,  or  Word,  is 
Divine  Truth  itself.  In  the  Word  there  is  a  spiritual  sense  heretofore  unknown. 
The  spiritual  sense  is  in  all  and  in  every  part  of  the  "Word.  It  is  owing  to  the  spir- 
itual sense  that  the  "Word  is  Divinely  inspired,  and  holy  in  every  syllable.  The  spir- 
itual sense  of  the  "Word  hath  heretofore  remained  unknown,  and  hereafter  the  spirit- 
ual sense  will  be  made  known  unto  none,  but  those  who  are  principled  in  genuine 
truths  from  the  Lord.  The  literal  sense  of  the  "Word  is  the  basis,  the  continent,  and 
the  firmament  of  its  spiritual  and  celestial  sense.  Divine  Truth,  in  the  literal  sense 
of  the  "Word,  is  in  its  fulness,  in  its  sanctity,  and  in  its  power.  The  Truths  of  the 
literal  sense  are  understood  by  the  precious  stones,  of  which  the  foundations  of  the 
New  Jerusalem  were  built,  as  mentioned  in  the  Revelation,  chap.  xxi.  17—21.  The 
Goods  and  Truths  of  the  Word,  in  its  literal  sense,  are  understood  by  the  urim  and 
thummim  on  Aaron's  ephod.  The  same  is  understood  by  the  precious  stones  in  the 
garden  of  Eden,  wherein  the  king  of  Tyre  is  said  to  have  been.  Truths  and  Goods 
in  their  ultimates,  such  as  are  in  the  literal  sense  of  the  Word,  are  represented  by 
the  curtains,  vails,  and  pillars  of  the  Tabernacle.  The  same  was  represented  by  the 
externals  of  the  Temple  at  Jerusalem.  The  "Word  in  its  glory  was  represented  in 
the  person  of  the  Lord  at  His  transfiguration.  The  power  of  the  Word  in  its  ulti- 
mates was  represented  by  the  Nazarites.  The  doctrine  of  the  church  ought  to  be 
drawn  from  the  literal  sense  of  the  Word  and  be  confirmed  by  it.  The  Wrord,  with- 
out doctrine,  is  unintelligible.  Genuine  Truth,  which  should  constitute  doctrine,  in 
the  literal  sense  of  the  Word,  is  apparent  only  to  those  who  are  in  illustration  from 
the  Lord.  By  the  literal  sense  of  the  Word  man  hath  conjunction  with  the  Lord, 
and  consociation  with  the  angels.  The  Word  is  in  all  the  heavens,  and  the  wisdom 
of  the  angels  is  thence  derived.  The  church  existeth  from  the  Word,  and  with  man 
the  quality  of  the  church  is  according  to  his  understanding  of  the  Word.  The  mar- 
riage of  the  Lord  and  the  church,  and  thence  the  marriage  of  Good  and  Truth,  is  in 
every  part  of  the  Word.  Men  may  collect  and  imbibe  heretical  opinions  from  the 
letter  of  the  Word,  but  to  confirm  such  opinions  is  hurtful.  The  Lord,  during  His 
abode  in  the  world,  fulfilled  all  things  contained  in  the  Word,  and  was  thus  made 
the  Word,  that  is,  Divine  Truth,  even  in,  ultimates.  Previous  to  the  Word  which 
the  world  now  possesses,  there  was  a  Word  which  is  lost.  By  means  of  the  Word, 
light  is  communicated  to  those  who  are  out  of  the  pale  of  the  church,  and  are  not  in 
possession  of  the  Word.  Without  the  Word  no  one  would  have  any  knowledge  of 
God,  or  of  heaven  and  hell  or  of  a  life  after  death,  and  much  less  of  the  Lord. 

The  Catechism,  or  Decalogue. — The  Decalogue,  in  the  Israelitish  Church,  was  the 
very  essence  of  holiness.  The  Decalogue  in  its  literal  sense,  contaiueth  general 
precepts  of  doctrine  and  of  life  ;  but  in  its  spiritual  and  celestial  sense,  all  precepts 
universally.  The  Ten  Commandments  of  the  Decalogue  contain  all  things  which 
relate  to  love  to  God,  and  all  things  which  relate  to  love  towards  our  neighbour. 
On  Faith, — Saving  faith  is  a  faith  in  the  Lord  God  the  Saviour  Jesus  Christ,    faith 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  161 

in  general  consisteth  in  a  belief,  that  whosoever  liveth  a  good  life,  and  beiieveth 
aright,  will  be  saved  by  the  Lord.  Man  receiveth  faith,  in  consequence  of  approach- 
ing to  the  Lord,  of  learning  truths  from  the  Word,  and  of  living  a  life  in  conformity 
with  them.  A 'Store  of  Truths,  cohering  together  as  in  a  fascicle  or  bundle,  exalteth 
and  perfecteth  faith.     The  Truths  of  faith  are  capable  of  being  multiplied  to  infinity. 

The  Truths  of  Faith,  however  numerous  they  may  be,  and  howsoever  different 
they  may  appear,  yet  make  a  One,  and  are  united  by  and  from  the  Lord,  who  is  the 
Word,  the  God  of  heaven  and  earth,  the  God  of  all  flesh,  the  God  of  the -vineyard  or 
church,  the  God  of  faith,  and  the  essential  Light,  Truth,  and  Life  eternal.  Faith  with- 
out Charity  is  not  Faith,  and  Charity  without  Faith  is  not  Charity,  and  neither  Faith 
nor  Charity  hath  any  life  in  it  but  from  the  Lord.  Man  hath  power  to  procure  faith 
and  charity  for  himself;  also,  the  life  of  faith  and  charity.  Nevertheless,  nothing 
of  faith,  nothing  of  charity,  and  nothing  of  the  life  of  each,  is  from  man,  but  from 
the  Lord  alone.  The  Lord,  Charity,  and  Faith,  constitute  a  One,  like  life,  will  and 
understanding  in  man ;  and  in  case  they  are  divided,  each  perisheth,  like  a  pearl 
bruised  to  powder.  The  Lord,  with  all  his  divine  love,  all  Ids  divine  wisdom,  and  all 
his  divine  life,  entereth  by  influx  into  every  man  ;  consequently  the  Lord  entereth 
by  influx  into  every  man,  with  the  whole  essence  of  faith  and  charity.  The  things 
which  enter  by  influx,  from  the  Lord,  are  received  by  man,  according  to  his  form. 
But  man,  who  divideth  the  Lord,  Charity,  and  Faith,  is  not  a  form  receptive,  but  a 
form  destructive  of  them.  The  Lord  is  Charity  and  Faith  in  Man,  and  Man  is  Charity 
and  Faith  in  the  Lord.  Conjunction  with  God,  is  the  medium  by  which  man  hath 
salvation  and  eternal  life.  Conjunction  with  God  the  Father  is  not  possible,  but 
with  the  Lord,  and  by  him  with  God  the  Father.  Conjunction  with  the  Lord  is  re- 
ciprocal, that  is,  the  Lord  is  in  man,  and  man  in  the  Lord.  This  reciprocal  con- 
junction is  effected  by  means  of  charity  and  faith,  which  are  together  in  good  works. 
Charity  consisteth  in  willing  what  is  good,  and  good  works  consist  in  doing  what  is 
good,  from  and  under  the  influence  of  such  a  good  will.  Charity  and  Faitli  are  mere- 
ly mental  and  perishable  things,  unless  they  be  determined  to  works,  and  co-exist 
in  them,  whensoever  it  is  practicable.  Charity  alone  doth  not  produce  good  works, 
still  less  doth  faith  alone;  but  charity  and  faith  together  do  produce  them.  There  is 
true  faith,  spurious  faith,  and  hypocritical  faitli.  There  is  only  one  true  faith,  aud  it 
is  directed  towards  the  Lord  God  the  Saviour  Jesus  Christ ;  and  it  abideth  with 
those  who  believe  Him  to  be  the  Son  of  God,  the  God  of  heaven  and  earth,  *and  one 
with  the  Father.  A  Spurious  Faith  is  every  Faith  that  departs  from  the  one  only 
true  faith,  and  it  abideth  with  those  who  climb  up  some  other  way,  and  regard  the 
Lord,  not  as  God,  but  as  a  mere  man.  Hypocritical  Faitli  is  no  Faith.  There  is  no 
Faith  amongst  the  "Wicked.  The  wicked  have  none,  because  wickedness  is  of  hell, 
and  faith  is  of  heaven.  Throughout  all  Christendom  there  is  no  faith  amongst  those 
who  reject  the  Lord  and  the  Word,  notwithstanding  the  morality  and  rationality  of 
their  lives. 

Of  Charity,  or  Love  Towards  our  Neighbour,  and  of  Good  Works. — There  are  three 
universal  loves — the  love  of  heaven,  the  love  of  the  world,  and  the  love  of  self. 
These,  when  they  are  in  right  subordination,  make  man  perfect ; ,  but  when  not  in 
right  subordination,  they  pervert  and  invert  him.  Every  individual  man  is  the 
neighbour  whom  we  ought  to  love,  but  according  to  the  quality  of  his  good.  Man, 
considered  collectively,  that  is,  as  a  lesser  or  larger  Society,  and  under  the  idea  of 
compound  societies,  that  is,  as  our  country,  is  the  neighbour  who  ought  to  be  loved. 
The  church  is  our  neighbour,  whom  we  are  bound  to  love  in  a  higher  degree  ;  and  the 
kingdom  of  the  Lord  is  our  neighbour,  and  ought  to  be  loved  in  the  highest  degree. 
To  love  our  neighbour,  considered  in  itself,  is  not  to  love  the  person  of  our  neigh- 
bour, but  the  good  in  his  person.  Charity  and  good  works  are  two  distinct  things,  like 
wilhng  what  is  good,  and  doing  what  is  good.     Charity  itself  consisteth  in  acting 

11 


162  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

justly  and  faithfully  in  whatsoever  office,  business,  and  employment  a  person  is  en- 
gaged, and  with  whomsoever  he  hath  any  commerce  or  connection.  Eleemosynary 
arts  of  charity  consist  in  giving  to  the  poor,  and  relieving  the  indigent,  but  with 
prudence.  There  are  duties  of  charity,  some  public,  some  domestic,  and  some  private. 
There  are  convivial  recreations  of  charity,  consisting  in  dinners  and  suppers,  and  in 
social  intercourse.  The  first  part  of  charity  consisteth  in  putting  away  evils,  and  the 
second  part  in  doing  good  actions  that  are  useful  to  our  neighbour.  In  performing 
the  exercises  of  charity,  man  doth  not  ascribe  merit  to  his  works,  whilst  he  believeth 
that  all  good  is  from  the  Lord.  Moral  life,  if  it  be  at  the  same  time  spiritual,  is 
charity.  The  friendship  of  love  contracted  with  a  person,  without  regard  to  his 
quality  as  to  spirit,  is  detrimental  after  death.  There  is  spurious  charity,  hypocritical 
charity,  and  dead  charity.  Friendship  of  love  amongst  the  wicked  is  intestine  hatred 
towards  each  other. 

On  Free  Will. — The  two  trees  in  the  garden  of  Eden,  one  of  life  and  the  other  of 
the  knowledge  of  good  and  evil,  signify  the  Free  will  winch  Man  enjoyeth  in  respect 
to  spiritual  things.  Man  is  not  life,  but  a  recipient  of  life  from  God.  During  his 
abode  in  the  world,  he  is  held  in  the  midst  between  heaven  and  hell,  and  thus  in  a 
spiritual  equilibrium,  in  which  Free  will  consists.  It  appears  plainly,  from  the  per- 
mission of  evil,  which  every  one  experiences  in  his  internal  man,  that  he  hath  Free 
will  in  spiritual  things.  Without  Free  will  in  spiritual  tilings,  the  "Word  would  be 
of  no  manner  of  use,  consequently  the  Church  would  be  a  nonentity.  Without  Free 
will  m  spiritual  things,  man  would  have  nothing  which  could  enable  him  to  conjoin 
himself  by  reciprocation  with  the  Lord ;  and  consequently  there  would  be  no  imputa- 
tion, but  mere  predestination,  which  is  shocking  and  detestable.  Without  Free  will 
in  spiritual  things,  Gl-od  would  be  chargeable  as  the  cause  of  evil,  and  consequently 
there  would  be  no  imputation.  Every  spiritual  principle  of  the  Church,  when  it  is 
admitted,  and  is  received  with  Freedom,  remains,  but  not  otherwise.  The  will  and 
the  understanding  of  man  enjoys  this  freedom  of  determination;  but  the  commission 
of  evil,  both  in  the  spiritual  and  natural  world,  is  restrained  by  laws,  or  else  society 
would  perish  in  both.  If  man  were  destitute  of  Free  wdl  in  spiritual  things,  it  would 
be  possible  for  all  Men  throughout  the- whole  world,  in  the  compass  of  one  day,  to 
be  induced  to  believe  in  the  Lord ;  but  the  reason  why  this  is  impossible  is,  because 
nothing  remains  with  man  but  what  is  received  with  Free  will. 

Of  Repentance. — Repentance  is  the  first  constituent  of  the  Church  in  man.  Con- 
trition, which,  at  the  present  day,  is  said  to  precede  faith,  and  to  be  followed  by 
evangelical  consolation,  is  not  repentance.  The  mere  lip-confession  of  being  a  sin- 
ner is  not  repentance.  Man  is  born  with  a  propensity  to  evils  of  all  kinds,  and  un- 
less he  remove  them  in  part  by  repentance,  he  remains  in  them,  and  whosoever  re- 
mains in  them  cannot  be  saved.  The  knowledge  of  sin,  and  the  discovery  of  some 
particular  sin  in  a  man's  self,  is  the  beginning  of  repentance.  Actual  repentance 
consists  in  a  man's  examining  himself,  in  knowing  and  acknowledging  his  sins,  sup- 
plicating the  Lord,  and  beginning  a  new  life.  True  Repentance  consists  in  a  man's 
examining  not  only  the  actions  of  his  life,  but  the  intentions  of  his  will.  They  also 
do  the  work  of  repentance  who,  though  they  do  not  examine  themselves,  abstain 
from  evils,  because  they  are  sins;  and  this  kind  of  repentance  is  done  by  those  who 
perform  works  of  charity  from  a  principle  of  religion.  Confession  ought  to  be  made 
before  the  Lord  God  the  Saviour,  and  at  the  same  time  supplication  for  help  and 
power  to  resist  evils.  Actual  repentance  is  an  easy  duty  to  those  who  have  occa- 
sionally practised  it.  but  meets  with  violent  opposition  from  those  who  have  never 
practised  it.  He  who  never  did  the  work  of  repentance,'  and  never  looked  into  and 
examined  himself,  comes  at  last  not  to  know  the  nature  of  either  damnatory  evil,  or 
of  saving  good. 

Of  Reformation  and  Regeneration. — Unless  a  man  be  born  again,  and  as  it  were 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  163 

created  anew,  he  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God.  The  New  Birth  or  v. na- 
tion is  effected  by  the  Lord  alone,  through  charity  and  faith,  as  two  means,  during 
man's  co-operation.  Since  all  are  redeemed,  all  have  a  capacity  to  be  regenerated, 
every  one  according  to  his  state.  The  several  stages  of  regeneration  of  man  answer 
to  his  natural  conception,  gestation  in  the  womb,  birth  and  education.  .  The  first  ac 
of  the  New  Birth  is  called  reformation,  which  is  an  act  of  the  understanding ;  th 
second  is  called  regeneration,  which  is  an  act  of  the  will,  and  thence  of  the  under- 
standing. The  internal  man  is  first  to  be  reformed,  and  by  it  the  external,  and  thus 
man  is  regenerated.  When  this  takes  place  there  arises  a  combat  between  the  inter- 
nal and  external  man,  and  then  whichsoever  conquers,  hath  dominion  over  the 
other.  The  regenerate  man  has  a  new  will,  and  a  new  understanding.  A  regene- 
rate man  is  in  communion  with  the  angels  of  heaven,  and  an  unregenerate  man  in 
communion  with  spirits  of  hell.  In  proportion  as  a  man  is  regenerated,  his  sins  are 
removed,  and  this  removal  is  what  is  meant  by  the  remission  of  sins.  Regeneration 
cannot  be  effected  without  free-will  spiritual  concerns,  and  regeneration  is  not  attain- 
able without  truths,  by  which  faith  is  formed,  and  with  which  charity  conjoineth 
itself. 

On  Imputation. — Imputation,  and  the  faith  of  the  present  church,  which  alone  is 
said  to  justify,  are  one  thing.  The  imputation,  which  belongs  to  the  faith  of  the 
present  time,  is  two-fold,  the  one  part  relating  to  the  merit  of  Christ,  and  the  other 
to  salvation  as  its  consequence.  The  faith  which  is  imputative  of  the  merit  and 
righteousness  of  Christ  the  Redeemer,  first  took  its  rise  from  the  decrees  in  the 
Council  of  Nice,  concerning  Three  Divine  Persons  from  Eternity,  which  faith,  from 
that  time  to  the  present,  has  been  received  by  the  whole  Christian  world.  Faith 
imputative  of  the  merit  of  Christ  was  not  known  in  the  Apostolic  Church,  which 
preceded  the  Council  of  Nice,  neither  is  it  declared  or  signified  in  any  part  cf  the 
Word.  An  imputation  of  the  merit  and  righteousness  of  Christ  is  impossible.  There 
is  su^h  a  thing  as  imputation,  but  it  is  an  imputation  of  good  and  of  eviL  and  at  the 
same  time  of  faith.  The  faith  and  imputation  of  the  New  Church  cannot  be  to- 
gether with  the  faith  and  imputation  of  the  former  Church  ;  and  in  case  they  were 
together,  such  a  collision  and  conflict  would  ensue,  as  to  prove  fatal  to  every  princi- 
ple of  the  church  in  man.  The  Lord  imputeth  good  to  every  man,  and  hell  impu- 
teth  evil  to  every  man.  Faith,  with  whatsoever  prineiple  it  conjoins  itself,  passes 
sentence  accordingly ;  if  a  true  faith  conjoineth  itself  with  goodness,  the  sentence 
is  for  eternal  life,  but  if  faith  conjoineth  itself  with  evil,  the  sentence  is  for  eternal 
death.     Thought  is  imputed  to  no  one,  but  will. 

Of  Baptism. — Without  a  knowledge  of  the  spiritual  sense  of  the  Word,  no  one 
can  know  what  the  two  sacraments,  Baptism  and  the  Holy  Supper,  involve  and  effect. 
By  washing,  which  is  called  baptism,  spiritual  washing  is  meant,  which  is  a  purifica- 
tion from  evils  and  falses,  and  thus  regeneration.  As  circumcision  of  the  heart  was 
represented  by  the  circumcision  of  the  foreskin,  Baptism  was  insituted  in  lieu  of  it, 
to  the  end  that  an  internal  church  might  succeed  the  external,  in  which  all  and  every 
thing  was  a  figure  of  the  internal  church.  The  first  use  of  baptism  is  introduction 
into  the  Christian  Church,  and  insertion  at  the  same  time  among  Christians  in  the 
spiritual  world.  The  second  use  is,  that  the  Christian  may  know  and  acknowledge 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  the  Redeemer  and  Saviour,  and  may  follow  Him.  The  third 
and  final  use  is,  that  man  may  be  regenerated.  By  the  Baptism  of  John,  a  way  w&* 
prepared  that  Jehovah  the  Lord  might  come  down  into  the  World,  and  accomplish 
the  Work  of  Redemption. 

Of  the  Holy  Supiper. — It  is  impossible  for  any  one,  without  an  acquaintance  witn 
the  correspondences  of  natural  things  with  spiritual,  to  know  the  uses  and  benefits 
of  the  Holy  Supper.  An  acquaintance  with  correspondences  serves  to  discover  what 
is  meant  by  flesh  and  blood  of  the  Lord,  viz.  that  by  the  flesh  of  the  Lord  and  by  the 


164  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

bread,  is  understood  the  divine  good  of  His  love,  and  all  the  Good  of  Charity ;  and 
by  the  blood  of  the  Lord  and  by  the  wine,  the  Divine  truth  of  His  wisdom,  and  all 
the  Truth  of  Faith;  and  by  eating  is  signified  Appropriation.  By  understanding 
what  has  been  said  above,  it  may  be  clearly  comprehended,  that  the  Holy  Supper 
contains,  both  universally  and  singularly,  all  tilings  of  the  Church,  and  all  things  of 
Heaven.  The  Lord  is  entirely  present  with  the  whole  of  His  redemption  in  the 
Holy  Supper,  and  opens  heaven  to  those  who  approach  it  worthily ;  and  He  is  also 
present  with  those  who  approach  unworthily,  but  that  does  not  open  heaven  to  them ; 
consequently,  as  baptism  is  an  introduction  into  the  Church,  so  is  the  Holy  Supper 
an  introduction  into  heaven.  They  approach  the  Holy  Supper  worthily,  who  are 
under  the  influence  of  faith  towards  the  Lord  and  of  charity  towards  their  neighbour, 
thus  who  are  regenerate.  They  who  approach  the  Holy  Supper  worthily,  are  in  the 
Lord,  and  the  Lord  in  them ;  consequently,  conjunction  with  the  Lord  is  effected  by 
the  Holy  Supper.  The  Holy  Supper  is,  to  the  worthy  receivers,  as  a  signature  and 
seal  that  they  are  the  Sons  of  God. 

Of  the  Consummation  of  the  Age;  of  the  Coming  of  the  Lord;  aud  of  the  New 
Heaven  and  New  Church. — The  consummation  of  the  age  is  the  last  time,  or  end  of  the 
Church.  The  present  day  is  the  last  time  of  the  Christian  Church,  which  is  foretold 
and  described  by  the  Lord  in  the  Gospels,  and  in  the  Eevelation.  The  last  time  of 
the  Christian  Church  is  the  very  night  in  which  former  Churches  have  set.  After 
this  night,  morning  succeeds,  and  the  coming  of  the  Lord  is  this  morning.  The 
coming  of  the  Lord  is  not  a  coming  to  destroy  the  visible  heaven  and  the  habitable 
earth,  and  to  create  a  new  heaven  and  a  new  earth,  according  to  the  opinions  which 
many,  from  not  understanding  the  spiritual  sense  of  the  Word,  have  hitherto  enter- 
tained, but  is  for  the  sake  of  separating  the  evil  from  the  good,  that  they  who  have 
believed,  and  who  do  believe  in  him  may  be  saved,  and  that  there  may  be  formed  of 
them  a  new  angelic  heaven,  and  a  new  church  on  earth;  without  this  coming 
no  flesh  could  be  saved.  This  second  coming  of  the  Lord  is  not  a  coming  in  person, 
but  in  the  Word,  which  is  from  Him,  and  is  Himself.  It  is  effected  by  the  instru- 
mentality of  a  man,  before  whom  He  hath  manifested  Himself  in  person,  and  whom 
he  hath  tilled  with  His  Spirit,  to  teach  from  Him  the  doctrines  of  the  New  Church 
by  means  of  the  Word.  This  is  meant  by  the  New  Heaven  and  New  Earth,  and 
the  New  Jerusalem  descending  out  of  Heaven,  spoken  of  in  the  Revelation.  This 
New  Church  is  the  crown  of  all  the  Churches  which  have  been  until  this  time  on  the 
terrestrial  globe. 


PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH  (OLD   SCHOOL). 

The  Presbyterian  Church,  so  called  because  it  is  ruled  by  presbyters,  derived  its 
existence  in  America,  from  the  Scotch  and  Irish  Presbyterians,  principally  from  the 
former.  The  first  Presbyterian  ministers  of  whom  we  have  account,  as  preaching 
and  founding  churches,  were  the  Rev.  Francis  M'Kemie,  from  the  north  of  Ireland, 
and  the  Rev.  John  Hampton,  of  Scotland,  sent,  in  1699,  by  a  society  of  London,  to 
preach  the  gospel  in  the  middle  and  southern  colonies.  They  commenced  their  labors 
on  the  eastern  shore  of  Virginia,  and  went  on  preaching  tours  in  every  direction. 
The  Quakers  of  Pennsylvania,  and  the  charter  of  Maryland,  ensuring  religious  toler- 
ation to  all  comers,  the  mission  preachers  bent  their  principal  efforts  in  those  pro- 
vinces. 

Tho  first  Presbyterian  society  with  a  place  of  worship  was  established  in  1703,  in 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN'  RECORD.  165 

Philadelphia.     Others  shortly  sprang  up  at  Snow  Hill,  Md. ;  Newcastle,  Del. ;  and 
Charleston.  S.  C. 

In  1806,  the  first  presbytery  was  organized,  under  the  title  of  the  Presbytery  of 
Philadelphia.  It  consisted  of  seven  ministers :  Francis  M'Kemie,  Samuel  Davis,  and 
George  M'Nish — from  Ireland ;  John  Hampton,  Nathaniel  Taylor,  and  John  Wilson 
— from  Scotland  ;  and  Jedediah  Andrews,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  College,  from  New 
England.  To  whom  was  added  John  Boyd,  the  first  candidate  who  was  ordained  by 
that  presbytery. 

In  1710,  the  whole  number  of  ascertained  Presbyterian  congregations,  as  reported 
by  the  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia  to  the  Presbytery  of  Dublin,  Ireland,  was,.  "  In 
Virginia,  4 ;  Pennsylvania,  5  ;  New  Jersey,  2  ;  with  some  scattered  families  in  a  few 
places  in  New  York. 

After  the  organization  of  the  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia,  Presbyterian  societies 
rapidly  increased.  In  1716,  the  first  synod  was  held,  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia, 
and  comprised  four  presbyteries,  to  wit :  the  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia,  comprising 
6  ministers  with  their  churches ;  the  Presbytery  of  Newcastle,  with  6  ministers  and 
their  churches;  the  Presbytery  of  Snow  Hill,  with  3  ministers  and  their  churches; 
and  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island,  with  2  ministers  and  their  churches.  This  synod 
was  called  the  Synod  of  Philadelphia. 

In  1718,  the  number  of  ministers  belonging  to  the  synod  was  23,  with  3  proba- 
tioners. 

The  church  rapidly  increasing,  in  ministers  and  members,  by  emigration  and  local 
causes,  a  want  of  harmony  was  ere  long  discovered  respecting  the  qualifications  of 
candidates  for  the  ministry  and  pre*sb}-terial  order,  concerning  which  vigorous  con- 
flicts were  waged  in  various  presbyteries,  and  parties  were  formed — those  most  zea- 
lous for  a  learned  ministry,  strict  orthodoxy,  and  presbyterial  order,  being  termed  the 
old  side,  and  those  not  setting  so  great  stress  on  these,  the  new  side,  or  new  lights. 
To  put  an  end  to  these  controversies,  in  1728,  an  overture  was  made  to  the  synod, 
suggesting  the  adoption  of  the  Westminster  Assembly's  Confession  of  Faith  and 
Catechisms,  which  had  hitherto  been  used,  but  not  publicly  announced  as  the  stand- 
ards of  the  church.  An  exciting  debate  following,  the  overture  was  referred  to  the 
synod  of  the  ensuing  year,  which,  after  a  discussion,  adopted  them,  and  by  a  subse- 
quent resolution,  in  1735,  directed  every  presbytery  to  have  the  Adopting  Act  in- 
serted in  their  presbytery  book,  which  causing  considerable  disturbance,  was  more 
explicitly  and  emphatically  repeated,  by  the  synod  in  1736,  and  the  Westminster 
Assembly's  Confession  of  Faith,  and  Longer  and  Shorter  Catechisms,  became  the 
standards  of  the  church. 

This  important  measure,  however,  failed  of  its  purpose — peace  was  not  secured. 
The  debates  had  provoked  bitter  personalities,  which  were  still  remembered ;  preju- 
dices were  clung  to ;  misrepresentations  and  fierce  invectives  were  indulged  in,  on 
both  sides ;'  and  every  thing  threatened  a  collision.  While  affairs  were  in  this  state, 
Mr.  Whitfield,  in  1739,  came  a  second  time  to  the  colonies,  on  a  preaching  tour.  On 
the  well  known  wide-spread  revival  that  followed,  both  under  the  labors  of  Mr.  W. 
himself,  and  those  of  others,  Presbyterians  differed;  " old  side"  men,  looking  too 
much  at  certain  irregularities,  were  too  ready  to  pronounce  the  whole  a  delusion; 
while  the  "new  side"  men  warmly  declared  in  favor  of  Whitfield  and  the  revival. 
The  zeal  and  vigor  with  which  both  stood  up  for  their  views,  the  ill  feeling  already 
existing,  and  the  censurable  personalities  to  which  each  party  gave  way,  at  length  pre- 
cipitated a  crisis,  which  in  1741,  divided  the  synod — the  "new  side"  party  setting  up 
a  new  synod,  that  of  New  York,  the  "  old  side"  retaining  the  original  name,  and  all 
of  their  number  who  belonged  to  the  general  body. 

The  synods  remained  separated  for  several  years,  when,  a  better  feeling  existing, 
apian  of  union  was  proposed,  which,  after  considerable  negotiation,  in  1758,  was 


166  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

happily  carried  into  effect,  the  two  synods  being  wedded  under  the  name  of  the  Synod 
of  New  York  and  Philadelphia,  when  the  church  moved  on  once  more  in  prosperity 
and  harmony. 

For  many  years  previous  to  the  formation  of  the  Synod  of  New  York,  the  church 
in  the  valley  of  the  Shenandoah,  Virginia,  had  suffered  severely  at  the  hands  of  the 
adherents  of  the  Church  of  England.  Every  obstacle  was  thrown  in  the  way  of  the 
Presbyterian  preachers,  to  embarrass  and  distress  them,  and  hinder  their  success.  In 
Stith's  History  of  Virginia,  it  is  recorded  that  "  in  1618,  it  was  enacted  by  law,  that 
'  every  person  should  go  to  church  on  Sundays  and  holy  days,  or  lie  neck  and  heels 
that  night,  and  be  a  slave  to  the  colony  the  following  week.'  For  the  second  offence 
he  was  to  be  a  '  slave  for  a  month ;'  and  for  the  third  offence,  he  was  to  be  in  bond- 
age 'for  a  year  and  a  day.'  In  1612,  was  further  enacted,  that  'no  minister  shall  be 
permitted  to  officiate  in  this  country,  but  such  as  shall  produce  to  the  governor  a 
testimonial  that  he  hath  received  his  ordination  from  some  bishop  in  England ;  and 
shall  then  subscribe  to  be  conformable  to  the  orders  and  constitutions  of  the  Church 
of  England ;  and  if  any  other  person,  pretending  himself  to  be  a  minister,  contrary 
to  this  act,  shall  presume  to  teach  or  preach,  publicly  or  privately ;  the  governor  and 
council  are  hereby  desired  and  empowered  to  suspend  and  silence  the  person  so 
offending ;  and  upon  his  obstinate  persistence,  to  compel  him  to  depart  the  country 
and  with  the  first  convenience.'  " 

In  1738,  the  Synod  of  Philadelphia  applied  to  the  Lieutenant-Governor  of  Vir- 
ginia, on  behalf  of  their  persecuted  brethren,  who  returned  a  favorable  answer. 

In  1767,  a  plan  was  proposed  and  adopted,  to  provide  means  and  instruments  for 
domestic  missions ;  but  the  immediate  execution  of  the  design  was  thwarted  by  the 
political  disturbances  of  the  period,  and  delayed  and  impeded  by  various  causes,  till 
the  formation  of  the  "Standing  Committee  on  Missions,"  in  1805. 

In  1771,  a  plan  for  the  education  of  pious  young  men  for  the  ministry  was  adopted, 
but  was  debarred  from  immediate  operation  by  the  turbulence  of  the  times.  It  was 
not  forgotten,  however,  but  lay  in  abeyance  till  1806,  when  it  was  again  taken  up, 
and  each  presbytery  charged  with  its  proportion  of  the  work.  This  method  proving 
insufficient,  the  General  Assembly,  in  1819,  formed  the  Board  of  Education,  which, 
also,  being  found  inadequate,  in  1819  a  new  organization  was  made,  which  gave  an 
immediate  and  vigorous  impulse  to  the  cause,  which  has  since  become  one  of  the  most 
important  parts  of  the  working  machinery  of  the  church. 

In  1773,  the  question  of  admitting  foreign  ministers  into  the  presbyteries,  excited 
considerable  feeling.  Many  of  these  were  avowedly  anti-Calvinistic,  and  it  was 
feared  by  some  they  would  prove  an  injury  rather  than  a  benefit  to  the  Presbyterian 
body.  A  rule  was  made  precluding  the  reception  of  foreign  ministers  by  the  pres- 
byteries, without  the  previous  approbation  of  the  Synod.  But  this  restriction  giving 
dissatisfaction,  the  rule  was  subsequently  mitigated.  In  1782,  the  subject  was  re- 
sumed, and  finally  the  General  Assembly  adopted  a  plan  uniting  caution  with  con- 
fraternity, in  accordance  with  which  the  Presbyteries  now  decide. 

The  questions  of  the  lawfulness  of  marriage  with  a  deceased  wife's  sister,  and  with 
a  brother's  widow,  have,  from  an  early  period,  disturbed  the  peace  and  harmony  of 
the  church,  and,  with  kindred  questions,  been  variously  decided.  In  1761,  the  Synod 
of  New  York  and  Philadelphia  declared  the  marriage  of  a  brother's  or  sister's  relict, 
and  of  a  deceased  wife's  sister,  to  be  unlawful.  In  1772.  in  the  marriage  of  a  wife's 
brother's  daughter,  the  Synod  relaxed  its  prior  judgment.  In  1782,  the  marriage  of 
a  deceased  wife's  sister  was  pronounced  lawful.  In  1783,  a  protest  was  entered 
against  this  decision.     The  subject  was  resuscitated  in  1813. 

Slavery,  also,  has  been  a  prolific  source  of  contention,  from  its  first  agitation 
in  1786. 

In  1785,  the  independence  of  the  country  having  been  established,  the  Synod  of 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  167 

New  York  and  Philadelphia,  now  including  one  hundred  and  seventy  ministers,  and 
a  few  more  churches,  chiefly  in  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Delaware, 
Maryland,  Virginia,  and  South  Carolina,  began  to  take  steps  for  a  revival  of  the 
standards  of  the  church,  which  terminated,  in  1778,  in  their  adoption  and  establish- 
ment on  the  present  plan.  The  Synod  was  then  divided  into  four  Synods,  the  Synod 
of  New  York  and  New  Jersey,  the  Synod  of  Philadelphia,  the  Synod  of  Virginia,  and 
the  Synod  of  the  Carolinas ;  over  all  of  which  was  established,  as  a  bond  of  union,  a 
General  Assembly,  modelled,  in  all  essential  particulars,  after  the  General  Assembly 
■of  the  Church  of  Scotland.  The  Westminster  Confession  of  Faith,  after  expunging 
every  passage  favorable  to  the  civil  establishment  of  religion,  and  the  right  of  magis- 
trates to  interfere  in  affairs  of  the  church ;  larger  and  shorter  catechisms,  with  one 
small  alteration  in  the  latter ;  a  form  of  government  and  discipline,  and  a  directory 
for  public  worship,  drawn  chiefly  from  the  formularies  of  Church  of  Scotland,  were 
then  successively  adopted  as  the  standards  and  tests  of  a  Presbyterian's  creed. 

1789,  the  first  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  church  in  the  United  States 
met  in  Philadelphia,  and  was  opened  by  a  sermon  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Witherspoon,  who 
presided  till  the  first  moderator,  Rev.  Dr.  Rodgers,  was  chosen. 

The  effect  of  the  Revolutionary  Avar  on  the  Church,  was  extensive  and  disastrous. 
The  young  men  were  called  from  the  quiet  and  purity  of  their  homes  to  the  demor- 
alizing atmosphere  of  the  camp.  Congregations  were  broken  up  and  dispersed; 
churches  burned,  and  pastors  murdered.  Public  morals  sadly  deteriorated,  and  re- 
ligion, apparently,  had  become  a  thingof  the  past;  but  with  returning  peace,  came 
by  degrees  a  better  state  of  things.  The  bowed  church  slowly  lifted  her  head  once 
more,  and,  as  the  excitement  of  the  reaction  consequent  upon  the  new  aspect  of  af- 
fairs subsided,  at  length  stood  wholly  up  to  the  full  measure  of  her  height,  and  looked 
around  with  dignity  to  survey  the  extent  of  her  disaster,  and  project  measures  fo»- 
building  anew  a  broader,  firmer,  and  more  enduring  structure,  on  the  site  of  the 
old. 

In  1801,  the  General  Assembly  and  the  Congregational  General  Association  of 
Connecticut  adopted  a  plan  of  union,  for  the  purpose  of  facilitating  the  formation  of 
churches  in  the  settlements,  by  uniting  Presbyterians  and  Congregationalists  in  thb 
same  churches,  under  special  regulations.  The  immediate  result  was  beneficia.1. 
Hundreds  of  churches  rose  up  in  the  State  of  New  York  and  the  Western  Reserve. 

A  wide-spread  revival  continued  the  work  in  the  Far  West,  where  new  churches 
multiplied  with  astonishing  rapidity,  when  a  want  of  ministers  was  keenly  felt. 
To  supply  this  want,  the  Presbytery  of  Transylvania  resolved  to  ordain,  as  mission- 
ary evangelists  and  pastors,  men  of  piety  and  talents,  even  though  deficient  hi 
classical  attainments.  Some  of  the  members  of  the  Presbytery  objected ;  but  as 
that  body  soon  afterward  was  divided,  that  portion  of  it  denominated  the  Cumber- 
land Presbytery  proceeded  actively  to  carry  the  resolution  into  effect.  The  Synod 
finally  took  cognizance  of  this  irregularity,  and  appointed  a  commission  to  visit  the 
Presbytery,  which  the  commission  charged  with  various  delinquencies,  all  of  which 
were  comprised  within  two,  viz.,  licensing  men  to  preach  who  had  not  been  ex- 
amined in  the  languages,  and  instructing  its  licentiates  to  adopt  the  Presbyterian 
confession  of  faith,  as  far  as  they  believed  it  to  agree  with  God's  word.  The  Presby- 
tery justified  itself  on  the  ground  of  the  extraordinary  emergency,  the  example  of 
other  Presbyteries,  and  the  New  Testament,  which,  neither  by  precept  nor  exam- 
ple, condemns  the  calling  into  the  ministry  those  whom  the  Synod's  commission  de- 
signated by  "  unlearned  and  ignorant  men."  It  also  claimed  that  its  candidates  did 
not  deviate  in  doctrine'  from  any  essential  or  important  doctrine  in  the  confession  of 
faith.  The  commission  demanded  that  all  the  licentiates  and  candidates  should  bo 
transferred  to  them  for  re-examination.  The  Presbytery  refused,  on  the  ground  that 
such  a  demand  was  destructive  of  its  privileges  and  independence.     The  commis-

sion  then,  forbidding  the  young  preachers,  ordained  and  licensed,  from  preaching  the 
Gospel,  retired,  and  the  controversy  continued  till  February,  1810,  when  three  of 
the  members,  protesting  against  the  unconstitutional  and  unprecedented  acts  of  the 
Synod,  and  of  the  General  Assembly  who  justified  it,  constituted  a  separate  and  in- 
dependent Presbytery,  which  has  since  grown  into  a  large  and  influential  body, 
known  as  Cumberland  Presbyterians. 

In  1S30,  the  Rev.  Albert  Barnes  was  called  from  Morristown  to  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Philadelphia,  to  which  objections  were  made  on  the  ground  of  cer- 
tain heretical  opinions  in  a  sermon,  published  by  him.  entitled  The  Way  of  Salvation. 
The  case  was  submitted  to  the  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia,  who  finally  admitted  the 
caU,  accompanied  by  a  protest  of  a  minority,  who  complained  to  the  Synod,  who  re- 
ferred the  whole  subject  to  the  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia,  which  body  strongly  dis- 
approved of  the  sermon,  and  appointed  a  committee  to  confer  with  its  author. 

Another  difficulty  had  risen.  A  complaint  against  the  rule  of  the  Presbytery  01 
Philadelphia  enforcing  an  examination  of  all  persons  who  desired  admission  to  that 
body,  was  presented  to  the  Synod,  who  referred  the  subject  to  the  General  Assem- 
bly, who,  to  accommodate  Mr.  Barnes  and  those  who  sustained  him,  constituted  the 
Second  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia.  This  act  was  resisted  as  unconstitutional  by  the 
Synod,  who,  at  their  next  meeting,  refused  to  enrol  the  members  as  part  of  their 
body.  This  produced  fresh  complaints,  protests,  and  remonstrances  for  the  next 
Assembly,  who  reversed  the  proceedings  of  the  Synod,  which,  in  its  turn,  annulled 
the  proceedings  of  the  Assembly,  dissolved  the  Second  Presbytery,  combined  the 
members  with  their  old  associates,  and  then  severed  the  whole  original  presbytery 
by  a  geographical  line  from  east  to  west,  through  Market-street,  in  Philadelphia;  so 
that  there  then  existed  the  Second  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia,  as  organized  by  the 
General  Assembly,  and  the  Second  Presbytery  constituted  by  the  Synod.  As  if  all 
this  furnished  not  perplexities  enough,  the  Synods  of  Cincinnati  and  Pittsburgh  for- 
mally interfered,  by  impugning  the  proceedings  of  the  Assembly  in  reference  to  the 
Presbytery  of  Philadelphia.  The  difficulty  occupied  the  Assembly  for  years,  when 
Dr.  Junkin,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Newton,  directly  charged  Mr.  Barnes  with  hereti- 
cal opinions,  in  his  '"Xotes  on  Romans."  The  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia  took  up 
the  case,  and  finally  acquitted  Mr.  Barnes.  From  this  decision,  Mr.  Junkin  appealed 
to  the  Synod,  who  reversed  it,  suspended  Mr.  Barnes  from  the  ministry,  and  dis- 
solved the  Second  Presbytery  that  had  been  organized  by  the  Assembly.  Mr.  Barnes 
appealed  to  the  Assembly,  who,  in  183G,  absolved  him  from  the  suspension,  reversed 
all  the  acts  of  the  Synod,  and  reorganized  their  former  Second  Presbytery  as  the 
Third  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia. 

From  the  principles  involved  in  all  these  proceedings,  the  feeling  they  had  en- 
gendered, and  the  partisanship 'they  had  evoked,  it  was  evident  that  a  crisis  was  at 
hand,  and  that  a  decisive  struggle  would  be  made  at  the  meeting  of  the  General  As- 
sembly in  1837.  The  strict  interpreters  of  the  Confession  of  Faith  had  been  in  a 
minority  of  the  Assembly  in  the  years  1831,  1832,  1833,  1831,  and  1836.  They, 
therefore,  invited  a  convention  to  meet  in  Philadelphia  a  week  prior  to  the  opening 
of  the  Assembly  in  1837.  The  convention  included  one  hundred  and  twenty-four 
members,  most  of  whom  were  also  delegates  to  the  Assembly,  and  they  continued  in 
session  till  the  General  Assembly  was  organized,  to  which  body  they  transmitted 
the  result  of  their  deliberations  in  a  document,  entitled  their  Testimony  and  Me- 
morial, in  which  they  bore  testimony,  1.  Against  sixteen  doctrinal  errors;  2.  Ten 
departures  from  Presbyterian  order ;  and,  3.  Five  declensions'  in  Christian  discipline. 
They  emphatically  declared,  in  reference  to  the  distracted  state  of  the  church,  that 
mutual  confidence  was  gone,  and  was  not  to  be  restored  by  temporising  measures. 
For  reforming  these  abuses,  they  proposed,  1.  The  immediate  abrogation  of  the  Plan 
of  Union  with  Congregationalists,  adopted  in  1801 ;  2.  The  discontinuance  of  the 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  169 

American  Homo  Missionary  and  American  Education  Societies ;  3.  The  severance 
of  all  churches,  presbyteries,  and  synods  not  organized  strictly  on  Presbyterian 
principles.  4.  The  examination  of  all  licentiates  and  ministers  on  theology  and 
church  government,  and  the  requirement  of  an  explicit  adoption  of  th«  Confession  of 
Faith  and  form  of  government;  5.  The  separation  from  the  Presbyterian  Church  of 
all  presbyteries  and  synods  known  to  consist  chiefly  of  unsound  or  disorderly  mem- 
bers; and,  6.  That  a  caveat  be  sent  to  all  the  national  societies  respecting  their 
agents,  that  they  should  not  interfere  with  the  order  and  principles  of  the  Presbyte- 
rian Churches. 

The  doctrinal  errors  were  the  following : 

1.  God  would  have  been  glad  to  prevent  the  existence  of  sin  in  our  world,  but 
was  not  able,  without  destroying  the  moral  agency  of  man ;  or,  that  for  aught  which 
appears  in  the  Bible  to  the  contrary,  sin  is  incidental  to  any  wise  moral  system. 

2.  Election  to  eternal  life  is  founded  on  a  foresight  of  faith  and  obedience. 

3.  We  have  no  more  to  do  with  the  first  sin  of  Adam,  than  with  the  sins  of  any 
other  parent. 

4.  Infants  come  into  the  world  as  free  from  moral  defilement,  as  was  Adam,  when 
he  was  created. 

5.  Infants  sustain  the  same  relation  to  the  moral  government  of  God  in  this  world 
as  brute  animals,  and  their  sufferings  and  death  are  to  be  accounted  for,  on  the  same 
principle  as  those  of  brutes,  and  not  by  any  means  to  be  considered  as  penal. 

6.  There  is  no  other  original  sin  than  the  fact  that  all  the  posterity  of  Adam, 
though  by  nature  innocent,  or  possessed  of  no  moral  character,  will  always  begin  to 
sin  when  they  begin  to  exercise  moral  agency.  Original  sin  does  not  include  a  sin- 
ful bias  of  the  human  mind,  and  a  just  exposure  to  penal  suffering.  There  is  no  evi- 
dence in  scripture,  that  infants,  in  order  to  salvation,  do  need  redemption  by  the 
blood  of  Christ,  and  regeneration  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

7.  The  doctrine  cf  imputation,  whether  of  the  guilt  of  Adam's  sin,  or  of  the  right- 
eousness of  Christ,  has  no  foundation  in  the  word  of  God,  and  is  both  unjust  and 
absurd. 

8.  The  sufferings  and  death  of  Christ  were  not  truly  vicarious  and  penal,  but  sym- 
bolical, governmental,  and  instructive  only. 

9.  The  impenitent  sinner  by  nature,  and  independently  of  the  renewing  influence 
or  almighty  energy  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  is  in  full  possession  of  all  the  ability  necessary 
to  a  full  compliance  with  all  the  commands  of  God. 

17.  Christ  never  intercedes  for  any  but  those  who  are  actually  united  to  him  by 
faith ;  or  Christ  does  not  intercede  for  the  elect  until  after  their  regeneration. 

11.  Saving  faith  is  the  mere  belief  of  the  word  of  God,  and  not  a  grace  of  the  Holy 
Spirit. 

12.  Regeneration  is  the  act  of  the  sinner  himself,  and  it  consists  in  a  change  of  his 
governing  purpose,  which  he  himself  must  produce,  and  which  is  the  result,  not  of 
any  direct  influence  of  the  Holy  Spirit  on  the  heart,  but  chiefly  of  a  persuasive  exhi- 
bition of  the  truth,  analagous  to  the  influence  which  one  man  exerts  over  the  mind 
of  another ;  or  regeneration  is  not  an  instantaneous  act,  but  a  progressive  work. 

13  God  has  done  all  that  he  can  do  for  the  salvation  of  all  men,  and  man  himself 
must  do  the  rest. 

14.  God  cannot  exert  such  influence  on  the  minds  of  men,  as  shall  make  it  certain 
that  they  will  choose  and  act  in  a  particular  manner,  without  impairing  their  moral 
agency. 

15.  The  righteousness  of  Christ  is  not  the  sole  ground  of  the  sinner's  acceptance 
with  God ;  and  in  no  sense  does  the  righteousness  of  Christ  become  ours. 

16.  The  reason  why  some  differ  from  others  in  regard  to  their  reception  of  the  gos- 
pel is,  that  they  make  themselves  to  differ. 


170  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

The  Convention  pronounced  these  "  errors  unscriptural,  radical,  and  highly  dan- 
gerous," which,  in  "  their  ultimate  tendency,  subvert  the  foundation  of  Christian  hope, 
and  destroy  the  souls  of  men." 

The  Convention,  on  church  order  and  discipline,  particularly  specified  as  practices 
of  which  they  complained :  The  formation  of  presbyteries  founded  on  doctrinal  repul- 
sions as  affinities.  The  refusal  of  presbyteries  to  examine  their  ministers.  The 
licensing  and  ordination  of  men  unfit,  for  want  of  qualification,  and  who  deny  funda- 
mental principles  of  truth.  The  needless  ordination  of  evangelists  without  any  pas- 
toral relation.  The  want  of  discipline  respecting  gross  acknowledged  errors.  The 
number  of  ministers  abandoning  their  duties  for  secular  employments,  in  violation  of 
their  vows.  The  disorderly  meetings  of  members  and  others,  thereby  exciting  dis- 
cord and  contention  among  the  churches. 

The  adherents  of  the  Convention,  having  a  decisive  majority  in  the  General  Assem- 
bly, promptly  acceded  to  the  memorial.  The  plan  of  union  was  abrogated ;  by  which 
act.  the  synods  of  Utica.  Genesee,  and  Geneva,  in  Xew  York,  and  the  Western  Ee- 
serve,  in  Ohio,  embracing,  500  ministers,  and  entitled  to  60  seats  in  the  Assembly, 
were  declared  to  be  no  longer  constituent  parts  of  the  Presbyterian  church.  The 
operations  of  the  American  Home  Missionary  and  the  American  Education  Societies 
were  excluded  from  their  churches,  and  the  Third  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia  was 
dissolved.  A  tremendous  storm  followed  the  passage  of  these  acts,  the  opposition 
declaring  them  to  be  illegal  and  the  plan  of  union  to  be  still  in  force. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Assembly,  the  ensuing  year,  the  delegates  of  the  exscinded 
presbyteries  claimed  their  seats.  The  clerks  refused  to  enrol  their  names  as  mem- 
bers ;  and  the  moderator  decided,  without  allowing  an  appeal  to  the  house,  that  their 
names  could  not  be  added,  and  all  motions  to  that  effect  to  be  out  of  order.  An 
exciting  scene  followed,  in  the  midst  of  which  a  motion  was  made  and  carried  that 
the  moderator  and  clerks  be  set  aside,  and  others  chosen  in  their  stead.  The  names 
of  the  delegates  from  the  exscinded  presbyteries  were  then  entered  upon  the  roll, 
upon  which  a  motion  was  put  and  carried  to  adjourn  to  another  place;  the  adherents 
of  the  old  moderator  remaining  behind,  and  continuing  the  session  as  at  first  organ- 
ized. The  exscinded  presbyteries  withdrew  to  the  edifice  occupied  by  the  Pirst 
Presbyterian  Church,  and  continued  their  proceedings.  Thus,  two  bodies  were  in 
session  at  the  same  time,  each  claiming  to  be  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presby- 
terian church.  A  suit  was  shortly  instituted  to  determine  which  should  have  the 
management  of  the  institutions  and  funds  under  the  charge  of  the  Assembly,  which 
was  decided  in  favor  of  the  opposition,  or  Xew  School.  The  Old  School  carried  the 
case  up  to  the  Supreme  Court,  which  reversed  the  decision  of  the  lower  court,  and 
ordered  a  new  trial.  Various  delays  occurred,  and  at  length  the  Xew  School  party, 
satisfied  with  the  moral  effect  of  the  decision  by  a  jury,  withdrew  the  suit. 

Years  have  passed  since  then,^md  with  them  the  asperities  and  feeling  of  the 
division.  Time,  a  kindly  healer,  has  left  little  else  to  be  remembered  than  that  both 
parties  are  engaged  in  the  same  great  work,  under  the  same  Master,  for  the  same 
great  end. 

Though  publicly  known  as  Old  School  and  Xew  School,  the  official  designation 
of  each  is  the  same,  to  wit :  The  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of 
the  United  States. 

Both  bodies  subscribe  to  the  Westminster  Catechism  as  before.  Their  chief  doc- 
trinal differences  relate  to  the  articles  on  original  sin,  human  ability,  and  the  extent 
of  the  atonement;  the  Old  School  Society  believing  in  the  imputation  of  Adam's  sin 
to  all  the  race,  the  natural  inability  of  men  to  repent  and  obey,  and  that  the  atone- 
ment was  made  only  for  the  elect ;  the  Xew  School,  that  there  are  certain  native 
evil  propensities  in  man,  which  induce  sinful  action  with  the  commencement  of  moral 
agency,  that  the  atonement  is  for  the  race  as  a  whole,  and  that  God  has  endued  the 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  171 

human  will  with  a  natural  liberty,  which  is  neither  forced,  nor  by  any  absoluto  ne- 
cessity of  nature,  determined  to  good  or  evil. 

The  Presbyterian  Church  recognises  no  other  rule  of  faith  and  practice  than  the 
Holy  Scriptures.  Her  confession  of  faith  she  believes  to  be  carefully  drawn  from 
these. 

She  has  a  directory,  prescribing  her  form  of  public  worship,  that  it  may  be  pei 
formed  with  dignity  and  propriety,  as  well  as  profit,  by  those  who  join  in  it,  and  no 
disgraced  by  irregular  or  extravagant  effusions. 

She  believes  that  God  alone  is  Lord  of  the  conscience,  and  has  left  it  free  from  the 
doctrines  and  commandments  of  men ;  and  that  the  rights  of  private  judgment,  in  all 
matters  of  religion,  are  universal  and  unalienable. 

The  church  offices  are  three,  pastors  (or  teachers,)  ruling  elders,  and  deacons  who 
have  charge  of  the  alms  for  the  poor. 

She  is  governed  by  congregational,  presbyterial  and  synodical  assemblies. 

Each  church  is  governed  by  a  session,  composed  of  the  pastor,  a  bench  of  ruling 
elders,  and  another  of  deacons.  This  body  has  power  to  inquire  into  the  Christian 
conduct  of  the  members ;  to  call  before  them  offenders  and  witnesses ;  to  receive 
members  into  the  church  ;  to  admonish,'  rebuke,  suspend,  or  exclude  from  the  sacra- 
ments such  as  have  incurred  censure ;  to  concert  measures  for  the  spiritual  interest 
of  the  society;  and  to  appoint- delegates  to  the  presbytery  and  the  synod.  Appeals 
may  be  made  from  their  decisions  to  the  presbytery,  and  carried  up  to  the  synod, 
and  thence  to  the  General  Assemby,  whose  decision  is  final. 

All  the  ministry,  if  not  less  than  three,  and  one  ruling  elder  from  each  congrega- 
tion, within  a  certain  district,  compose  a  presbytery.  This  body  has  power  to  receive 
and  issue  appeals  from  church  sessions,  to  examine  and  license  candidates  for  the 
ministry;  to  ordain,  instal,  judge  and  remove  ministers;  to  examine  and  approve  or 
censure  the  records  of  church  sessions ;  to  decide  questions  of  doctrine  and  discipline; 
to  visit  particular  churches,  inquire  into  their  state,  and  redress  evils ;  to  unite  or 
divide  congregations,  at  the  request  of  the  people,  and  to  form  or  receive  new  con- 
gregations ;  and  to  appoint  delegates  to  the  Geueral  Assembly. 

A  synod  is  a  convention  of  all  the  ministers,  and  one  ruling  elder  from  each  con- 
gregation within  a  larger  district  than  that  of  a  presbytery,  and  must  include  at 
least  three  presbyteries.  It  has  power  to  receive  and  issue  all  appeals  from  the 
presbyteries ;  to  decide  on  aU  references  made  to  them ;  to  review  the  records  of 
presbyteries,  and  approve  or  censure  them ;  to  redress  whatever  has  been  done  by 
presbyteries  contrary  to  order  ;  to  take  effectual  care  that  presbyteries  observe  the 
constitution  of  the  church ;  to  erect  new  presbyteries,  and  unite  or  divide  those 
which  were  before  erected ;  and  generally  to  take  such  order  with  respect  to  the 
presbyteries,  sessions  and  people  under  their  care,  as  may  be  in  conformity  with 
the  word  of  God,  and  the  established  rules,  and  which  tend  to  promote  the  edifica- 
tion of  the  church. 

The  General  Assembly  is  the  highest  judicatory  of  the  Presbyterian  church.  It 
consists  of  an  equal  delegation  of  ministers  and  elders  from  each  presbytery  in  the 
following  proportion :  each  presbytery  of  not  more  than  twenty-four  ministers,  is  en- 
titled to  be  represented  by  one  minister  and  one  ruling  elder ;  each  presbytery  of 
more  than  twenty-four  ministers,  is  entitled  to  be  represented  by  two  ministers  and 
two  elders  ;  and  in  the  like  proportion  for  every  twenty-four  ministers  in  any  pres- 
bytery. These  delegates  are  styled  commissioners  to  the  General  Assembly.  It  has 
power  to  receive  and  issue  all  appeals  and  references  which  may  be  brought  before 
it  from  inferior  judicatories  ;  to  review  the  records  of  every  synod,  and  approve  or 
censure  them ;  to  advise  and  instruct  in  all  cases  submitted  to  it  in  conformity  with 
the  constitution ;  to  decide  in  all  controversies  on  doctrine  and  discipline ;  to  reprove, 
warn,  and  hear  testimony  against  error  in  doctrine  and  immorality  in  practice,  in  any

church,  presbytery  or  synod ;  to  erect  new  synods  when  it  is  judged  necessary  ;  to 
superintend  the  concerns  of  the  whole  church  ;  to  suppress  schismatical  contentions 
and  disputations ;  to  correspond  with  foreign  churches  on  such  terms  as  may  be 
agreed  upon  by  the  assembly  and  the  corresponding  body ;  and,  in  general,  to  re- 
commend reformation  in  manners,  -and  promote  charity,  truth  and  holiness  in  all  the 
churches  under  its  care.  Before  any  overtures  or  regulations  proposed  by  it  to  be 
established  as  constitutional  rules,  can  be  made  obligator}^  on  the  churches,  it  must 
transmit  them  to  all  the  presbyteries,  and  receive  the  returns  of  at  least  a  majority 
of  them,  in  writing,  approving  thereof. 

The  church  has  a  Board  of  Foreign  Missions ;  a  Board  of  Domestic  Mission? ;  a 
Board  of  Education,  for  the  preparation  of  young  men  for  the  ministry;  a  Board  of 
Publication  for  the  issue  of  doctrinal  and  such  other  works  as  may  be  deemed  useful 
and  promotive  of  evangelical  religion ;  a  Church  Extension  Committee,  for  aiding 
feeble  churches  in  erecting  houses  of  worship  ;  an  Annuity  Company,  for  the  relief 
of  poor  and  distressed  Presbyterian  ministers,  and  poor  and  distressed  widows  and 
children  of  Presbyterian  ministers ;  a  Fund  for  disabled  ministers  and  their  families; 
and  six  Theological  Seminaries. 

The  number  of  Presbyteries  in  connection  with  the  General  Assembly  is  168  ; 
svnods,  33;  ministers,  2577;  churches,  34S7  ;  total  number  of  members  reported, 
279.630. 

In  periodical  and  general  literature,  the  church  is  strong.  She  is  represented  by 
10  weekl}T  journals ;  1  semi-monthly  and  3  monthly  magazines  ;  2  quarterly  reviews, 
and  1  annual  publication ;  while  in  the  catalogue  of  her  Board  of  Publication,  as  in 
those  of  general  publishers,  may  be  found  many  important  works,  of  whose  high 
literary  excellence  there  can  be  no  question,  and  whose  total  number  is  bewildering. 

AVESTMINSTER   CONFESSION   OF   FAITH. — PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH   (OLD   SCHOOL). 

Of  the  Ilohj  Scripture. — Although  the  light  of  nature,  and  the  works  of  Creation 
and  providence  do  so  far  manifest  the  goodness,  wisdom,  and  power  of  God,  as  to 
leave  men  inexcusable ;  yet  are  they  not  sufficient  to  give  that  knowledge  of  God,  and 
of  his  will,  which  is  necessary  unto  salvation.  Therefore  it  pleased  the  Lord,  at 
sundry  tunes,  and  in  divers  manners,  to  reveal  himself,  and  to  declare  that  his  will 
unto  his  church ;  and  afterwards  for  the  better  preserving  and  propagating  of  the 
truth,  and  for  the  more  sure  establishment  and  comfort  of  the  church  against  the 
corruption  of  the  flesh,  and  the  malice  of  Satan  and  the  world,  to  commit  the  same 
wholly  unto  writing ;  which  maketh  the  Holy  Scripture  to  be  most  necessary ;  those 
former  ways  of  God's  revealing  his  will  unto  his  people  being  now  ceased. 

Under  the  name  of  Holy  Scripture,  or  the  word  of  God  written,  are  now  contained 
all  the  books  of  the  Old  and  New  Testament,  which  are  these :

part  of  the  cation  of  the  Scripture,  and  therefore  are  no  authority  in  the  church  of 
God,  nor  to  be  any  otherwise  approved,  or  made  use  of,  than  other  human 
writings. 

The  authorit3r  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  for  which  it  ought  to  be  believed  and 
obeyed,  dependeth  not  upon  the  testimony  of  any  man  or  church,  but  wholly  upon 
God,  (who  is  truth  itself)  the  author  thereof;  and  therefore  it  is  to  be  received,  be- 
cause it  is  the  word  of  God. 

"We  may  be  moved  and  induced  by  the  testimony  of  the  church  to  an  high  and 
reverend  esteem  for  the  Holy  Scripture.  And  the  heavenliness  of  the  matter,  the 
efficacy  of  the  doctrine,  the  majesty  of  the  style,  the  consent  of  all  the  parts,- the 
scope  of  the  whole,  (which  is  to  give  all  glory  to  God),  the  full  discovery  it  makes  of 
the  only  way  of  man's  salvation,  the  many  other  incomparable  excellencies,  and  the 
entire  perfection  thereof,  are  arguments  whereby  it  doth  abundantly  evidence  itself 
to  be  the  word  of  God ;  yet,  notwithstanding  our  full  persuasion  and  assurance  of 
the  infallible  truth  and  divine  authority  thereof  is  from  the  inward  work  of  the  Holy 
Spirit,  bearing  witness  by  and  with  the  word  in  our  hearts. 

The  whole  counsel  of  God,  concerning  all  things  necessary  for  his  own  glory,  man's 
salvation,  faith,  and  life,  is  either  expressly  set  down  in  Scripture,  or  by  good  ami 
necessary  consequence  may  be  deduced  from  Scripture :  unto  which  nothing  at  any 
time  is  to  be  added,  whether  by  new  revelations  of  the  Spirit,  or  traditions  of  men. 
Nevertheless,  we  acknowledge  the  inward  illumination  of  the  Spirit  of  God  to  bo 
necessary,  for  the  saving  understanding  of  such  things  as  are  revealed  in  the  word; 
and  that  there  are  some  circumstances  concerning  the  worship  of  God,  and  govern- 
ment of  the  church,  common  to  human  actions  and  societies,  which  are  to  be  ordered 
by  the  light  of  nature,  and  Christian  prudence,  according  to  the  general  rules  of  the 
word,  which  are  always  to  be  observed. 

All  things  in  Scripture  are  not  alike  plain  in  themselves,  nor  alike  clear  unto  all  ; 
yet  those  things  which  are  necessary  to  be  known,  believed,  and  observed,  for  sal- 
vation, are  so  clearly  propounded  and  opened  in  some  place  of  Scripture  or  other, 
that  not  only  the  learned,  but  the  unlearned,  in  a  due  use  of  the  ordinary  means, 
may  attain  unto  a  sufficient  understanding  of  them. 

The  Old  Testament  in  Hebrew,  (which  was  the  native  language  of  the  people  of 
God  of  old.)  and  the  New  Testament  in  Greek,  (which  at  the  time  of  the  writing  of 
it  was  most  generally  known  to  the  nations),  being  immediately  inspired  by  God,  and, 
by  his  singular  care  and  providence,  kept  pure  in  all  ages,  are  therefore  authentical : 
so  as,  in  all  controversies  of  religion,  the  church  is  finally  to  appeal  unto  them.  But 
because  these  original  tongues  are  not  known  to  all  the  people  of  God,  who  have 
right  unto,  and  interest  in  the  Scriptures,  and  are  commanded,  in  the  fear  of  God,  to 
read  and  search  them,  therefore  they  are  to  be  translated  into  the  vulgar  language  of 
every  nation  unto  which  they  come,  that  the  word  of  God  dwelling  plentifully  in  all. 
they  may  worship  him  in  an  acceptable  mauner,  and,  through  patience  and  comfort  of 
the  Scriptures,  may  have  hope. 

The  infallible  rule  of  interpretation  of  Scripture  is  the  Scripture  itself;  and  there- 
fore, when  there  is  a  question  about  the  true  and  full  sense  of  any  Scripture,  (which 
is  not  manifold,  but  one),  it  must  be  searched  and  known  by  other  places  that  speak 
more  clearly. 

The  Supreme  Judge,  by  which  all  controversies  of  religion  are  to  be  determined, 
and  all  decrees  of  councils,  opinions  of  ancient  writers,  doctrines  of  men,  and  private 
spirits  are  to  be  examined,  and  in  whose  sentence  we  are  to  rest,  can  be  no  other  but 
the  Holy  Spirit  speaking  in  the  Scripture. 

2.  Of  God  and  of  the  Holy  Trinity. — There  is  but  one  only  living  and  true  God,  who 
is  infinite  in  being  and  perfection,  a  most  pure  spirit,  invisible,  without  body,  parts,  or 
passions,  immutable,  immense,  eternal,  incomprehensible,  almighty,  most  wise,  most 


174  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN*   RECORD. 

holy,  most  free,  most  absolute,  working  all  things  according  to  the  counsel  of  his  own 
immutable  and  most  righteous  will,  for  his  own  glory ;  most  loving,  gracious,  merciful, 
long-suffering,  abundant  in  goodness  and  truth,  forgiving  iniquity,  transgression,  and 
sin;  and  withal  most  just  and  terrible  in  his  judgments ;  hating  all  sin,  and  who  will, 
by  no  means,  clear  the  guilty. 

"  God  hath  all  life,  glory,  goodness,  blessedness,  in  and  of  himself;  and  is  alone  in 
and  unto  himself  all-sumeieut,  not  standing  in  need  of  any  creatures  which  he  hath 
made,  nor  deriving  any  glory  from  them,  but  only  manifesting  his  own  glory,  in,  by, 
unto,  and  upon  them  :  he  is  the  alone  fountain  of  all  being,  of  whom,  through  whom, 
and  to  whom,  are  all  things,  and  hath  most  sovereign  dominion  over  them,  to  do  by 
them,  for  them,  or  upon  them,  whatsoever  himself  pleaseth.  In  his  sight  all  tilings 
are  open  and  manifest ;  his  knowledge  is  infinite,  infallible,  and  independent  upon 
the  creature,  so  as  nothing  is  to  him  contingent  or  uncertain.  He  is  most  holy  in 
all  his  counsels,  in  all  his  works,  and  in  all  his  commands.  To  him  is  due  from  angels 
and  men,  and  every  other  creature,  whatsoever,  worship,  service,  or  obedience,  he  is 
pleased  to  require  of  them. 

In  the  unity  of  the  Godhead  there  be  three  persons,  of  one  substance,  power,  and 
eternity ;  God  the  Father,  God  the  Son,  and  God  the  Holy  Ghost.  The  Father  is  of 
none,  neither  begotten,  nor  proceeding  ;  the  Son  is  eternally  begotten  of  the  Father ; 
the  Holy  Ghost  eternally  proceeding  from  the  Father  and  the  Son. 

Of  God's  Eternal  Decree. — God  from  all  eternity  did,  by  the  most  wise  and  holy 
counsel  of  his  own  will,  freely  and  unchangeably  ordain  whatsoever  comes  to  pass; 
yet  so  as  thereby  neither  is  God  the  author  of  sin,  nor  is  violence  offered  to  the  will 
of  the  creatures,  nor  is  the  liberty  or  contingency  of  second  causes  taken  away,  but 
rather  established. 

Although  God  knows  whatsoever  may  or  can  come  to  pass  upon  all  supposed  con- 
ditions, yet  hath  he  not  decreed  anything  because  he  foresaw  it  as  future,  or  as  that 
which  would  come  to  pass  upon  such  conditions. 

By  the  decree  of  God,  for  the  manifestation  of  his  glory,  some  men  and  angels  are 
predestinated  unto  everlasting  life,  and  others  fore-ordained  to  everlasting  death. 

These  angels  and  men.  thus  predestinated  and  fore-ordained,  are  particularly  and 
unchangeably  designed :  and  their  number  is  so  certain  and  definite,  that  it  cannot 
be  either  increased  or  diminished. 

Those  of  mankind  that  are  predestinated  unto  life,  God,  before  the  foundation  of 
the  world  was  laid,  according  to  his  eternal  and  immutable  purpose,  and  the  secret 
counsel  and  good  pleasure  of  his  will,  hath  chosen,  in  Christ,  unto  everlasting  gloiy, 
out  of  his  mere  free  grace  and  love,  without  any  foresight  of  faith,  or  good  works,  or 
perseverance  in  either  of  them,  or  any  other  thing  in  the  creature,  as  conditions,  or 
causes  moving  him  thereunto ;  and  all  to  the  praise  of  his  glorious  grace. 

As  God  hath  appointed  the  elect  unto  glory,  so  hath  he,  by  the  eternal  and  most 
free  purpose  of  his  will,  fore-ordained  all  the  means  thereunto.  Wherefore  they  who 
are  elected,  being  fallen  in  Adam,  are  redeemed  by  Christ,  are  effectually  called  unto 
faith  in  Christ,  by  his  Spirit  working  in  due  season ;  are  justified,  adopted,  sanctified, 
and  kept  by  his  power  through  faith  unto  salvation.  Neither  are  any  other  redeemed 
by  Christ,  effectually  called,  justified,  adopted,  sanctified,  and  saved,  but  the  elect 
only. 

The  rest  of  mankind  God  was  pleased,  according  to  the  unsearchable  counsel  of 
his  own  will,  whereby  he  extendeth  or  withholdeth  mercy,  as  he  pleaseth,  for  the 
glory  of  his  sovereign  power  over  his  creatures,  to  pass  by,  and  to  ordain  them  to 
dishonor  and  wrath  for  their  sin,  to  the  praise  of  his  glorious  justice. 

The  doctrine  of  this  high  mystery  of  predestination  is  to  be  handled  with  special 
prudence  and  care,  that  men.  attending  the  will  of  God  revealed  in  his  word,  and 
yielding  obedience  thereunto,  may,  from  the  certainty  of  their  effectual  vocation,  be 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  175 

assured  of  their  eternal  election.  So  shall  this  doctrine  afford  matter  of  praise,  rever- 
ence, and  admiration  of  God ;  and  of  humility,  diligence,  and  abundant  consolation  to 
all  that  sincerely  obey  the  gospel. 

2.  Of  Creation. — It  pleased  God,  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost,  for  the  manifest- 
ation of  the  glory  of  his  eternal  power,  wisdom,  and  goodness,  in  the  beginning,  to 
create,  or  make  of  nothing,  the  world,  and  all  things  therein,  whether  visible  or  in- 
visible, in  the  space  of  six  days,  and  all  very  good. 

After  God  had  made  all  other  creatures,  he  created  man,  male  and  female,  with 
reasonable  and  immortal  souls,  endued  with  knowledge,  righteousness,  and  true 
holiness,  after  his  own  image,  having  the  law  of  God  written  in  their  hearts,  and 
power  to  fulfil  it ;  and  yet  under  a  possibility  of  transgressing,  being  left  to  the 
liberty  of  their  own  will,  which  was  subject  unto  change.  Besides  this  law  written 
in  their  hearts,  they  received  a  command,  not  to  eat  of  the  tree  of  the  knowledge 
of  good  and  evil ;  which,  while  they  kept  they  were  happy  in  their  communion  with 
God,  and  had  dominion  over  the  creatures. 

5.  Of  Providence. — God,  the  great  Creator  of  all  things,  doth  uphold,  direct,  dis- 
pose, and  govern  all  creatures,  actions,  and  things,  from  the  greatest,  even  to  the 
least,  by  his  most  wise  and  holy  providence,  according  to  his  infallible  foreknowledge, 
and  the  free  and  immutable  counsel  of  his  own  will,  to  the  praise  of  the  glory  of  his 
wisdom,  power,  justice,  goodness,  and  mercy. 

Although,  in  relation  to  the  foreknowledge  and  decree  of  God,  the  first  Cause,  all 
things  come  to  pass  immutably  and  infallibly,  yet,  by  the  same  providence,  he  order- 
eth  them  to  fall  out,  according  to  the  nature  of  second  causes,  either  necessarily, 
freely,  or  contingently. 

God,  in  his  ordinary  providence,  maketh  use  of  means,  yet  is  free  to  work  without, 
above,  and  against  them,  at  his  pleasure. 

The  Almighty  power,  unsearchable  wisdom,  and  infinite  goodness  of  God  so  far 
manifest  themselves  in  his  providence,  that  it  extendeth  itself  even  to  the  first  fall, 
and  all  other  sins  of  angels  and  men,  and  that  not  by  a  bare  permission,  but  such  as 
hath  joined  with  it  a  most  wise  and  powerful  bounding,  and  otherwise  ordering  and 
governing  of  them,  in  a  manifold  dispensation,  to  his  own  holy  ends  ;  yet  so,  as  the 
sinfulness  thereof  proceedeth  only  from  the  creature,  and  not  from  God,  who  being 
most  holy  and  righteous,  neither  is,  nor  can  be,  the  author  or  approver  of  sin. 

The  most  wise,  righteous,  and  gracious  God  doth  oftentimes  leave  for  a  season  his 
own  children  to  manifold  temptations,  and  the  corruption  of  their  own  hearts,  to 
chastise  them  for  their  former  sins,  or  to  discover  unto  them  the  hidden  strength  of 
corruption,  and  deceitfulness  of  their  hearts,  that  they  may  be  humbled ;  and  to  raise 
them  to  a  more  close  and  constant  dependence  for  their  support  upon  himself,  and  to 
make  them  more  watchful  against  all  future  occasions  of  sin,  and  for  sundry  other 
just  and  holy  ends. 

As  for  those  wicked  and  ungodly  men,  whom  God  as  a  righteous  judge,  for  former 
sins,  doth  blind  and  harden,  from  them  he  not  only  withholdeth  his  grace,  whereby 
they  might  have  been  enlightened  in  their  understandings,  and  wrought  upon  in  their 
hearts;  but  sometimes  also  withdraweth  the  gifts  which  they  had,  and  exposeth 
them  to  such  objects  as  their  corruption  makes  occasion  of  sin ;  and  withal,  gives 
them  over  to  their  own  lusts,  the  temptations  of  the  world,  and  the  power  of  Satan ; 
whereby  it  comes  to  pass  that  they  harden  themselves,  even  under  those  means 
which  God  useth  for  the  softening  of  others. 

As  the  providence  of  God  doth,  in  general,  reach  to  all  creatures,  so,  after  a  most 
special  manner,  it  taketh  care  of  his  church,  and  disposeth  all  things  to  the  good 
thereof. 

6.  Of  the  Fall  of  Man,  of  Sin,  and  of  the  Punishment  thereof. — Our  first  parents, 
being  seduced  by  the  subtilty  and  temptatiou  of  Satan,  sinned  in  eating  the  forbidden 


176  AMERICAS   CHRISTIAN*   RECORD. 

fruit.     This  their  sin  G-ocl  was  pleased,  according  to   his  "wise  and  holy  counsel,  to 
permit,  having  purposed  to  order  it  to  his  own  glory. 

By  this  sin  they  fell  from  their  original  righteousness  aud  communion  with  God, 
and  so  became  dead  in  sin,  and  wholly  defiled  in  all  the  faculties  and  parts  of  soul 
and  body. 

They  being  the  root  of  all  mankind,  the  guilt  of  this  sin  was  imputed,  and  the 
same  death  in  sin,  and  corrupted  nature,  conveyed  to  all  their  posterity  descending 
Trom  them  by  ordinary  generation. 

From  this  original  corruption,  whereby  we  are  utterly  indisposed,  disabled,  and 
made  opposite  to  all  good,  and  wholly  inclined  to  all  evil,  do  proceed  all  actual 
transgressions. 

This  corruption  of  nature,  during  this  life,  doth  remain  in  those  that  are  regener- 
ated; and  although  it  be,  through  Christ,  pardoned  and  mortified,  yet  both  itself, 
and  all  the  motions  thereof,  are  truly  and  properly  sin. 

Every  sin,  both  origiual  and  actual,  being  a  transgression  of  the  righteous  law  of 
God,  and  the  contrary  thereunto,  doth,  in  its  own  nature,  bring  guilt  upon  the  sin- 
ner, whereby  he  is  bound  over  to  the  wrath  of  God,  and  curse  of  the  law,  and  so 
made  subject  to  death,  with  all  miseries  spiritual,  temporal  and  eternal. 

Of  God's  Covenant  ivilh  Man. — The  distance  between  God  and  the  creature  is  so 
great  that  although  reasonable  creatures  do  owe  obedience  unto  him  as  their  Creator, 
yet  they  could  never  have  any  fruition  of  him  as  their  blessedness  and  reward,  but 
by  some  voluntary  condescension  on  God's  part,  which  he  hath  been  pleased  to  ex- 
press by  way  of  covenant. 

The  first  covenant  made  with  man  was  a  covenant  of  works,  wherein  life  was 
promised  to  Adam,  and  iu  him  to  his  posterity,  upon  condition  of  perfect  and  per- 
sonal obedience. 

Man  by  his  fall,  having  made  himself  incapable  of  life  by  that  covenant,  the  Lord 
was  pleased  to  make  a  second,  commonly  called  the  covenant  of  grace  :  wherein  he 
freely  offereth  unto  sinners  life  and  salvation  by  Jesus  Christ,  requiring  of  them  faith 
in  him,  that  they  may  be  saved,  and  promising  to  give,  unto  all  those  that  are  or- 
dained unto  life,  his  Holy  Spirit,  to  make  them  willing  and  able  to  believe. 

This  covenant  of  grace  is  frequently  set  forth  in  the  Scripture  by  the  name  of  a 
testament,  in  reference  to  the  death  of  Jesus  Christ,  the  testator,  and  to 'the  ever- 
lasting inheritance,  with  all  things  belonging  to  it,  "therein  bequeathed. 

This  covenant  was  differently  administered  in  the  time  of  the  law,  and  in  the  time 
of  the  gospel :  under  the  law  ic  was  administered  by  promises,  prophecies,  sacrifices, 
circumcision,  the  paschal  lamb,  and  oilier  types  and  ordinances  delivered  to  the  peo- 
ple of  the  Jews,  all  fore-signifying  Christ  to  come,  which  were  for  that  time,  sufficient 
and  efficacious,  through  the  operation  of  the  Spirit,  to  instruct  and  build  up  the  elect 
in  faith  in  the  promised  Messiah,  by  whom  they  had  full  remission  of  sins,  and  eter- 
nal salvation  ;  and  is  called  the  Old  Testament. 

Under  the  gospel,  when  Christ,  the  substance,  was  exhibited,  the  ordinances,  in 
which  this  covenant  is  dispensed,  are  the  preaching  of  the  word,  and  the  administra- 
tion of  the  sacraments  of  baptism  and  the  Lord's  supper,  which,  though  fewer  in 
number,  and  administered  with  more  simplicity,  and  less  outward  glory,  yet  in  them 
it  is  held  forth  in  more  fulness,  evidence,  and  spiritual  efficacy,  to  all  nations,  both 
Jews  and  Gentiles ;  and  is  called  the  New  Testament.  There  are  not,  therefore, 
two  covenants  of  grace,  differing  in  substance,  but  one  and  the  same  under  various 
dispensations. 

Of  CJtrist  the  Mediator. — It  pleased  God,  in  his  eternal  purpose,  to  choose  and  or- 
dain the  Lord  Jesus,  his  only-begotten  Son,  to  be  the  mediator  between  God  and 
man ;  the  prophet,  priest,  and  king ;  the  head  and  saviour  of  his  Church,  the  heir  of 
oil  things,  and  judge  of  the  world;  unto  whom  he  did,  from  all  eternity,  give  a  peo- 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  177 

pie  to  be  his  seed,  and  to  be  by  him  in  time  redeemed,  called,  justified,  sanctified  and 
glorified. 

The  Son  of  God,  the  second  person  in  the  Trinity,  being  very  and  eternal  God,  of 
one  substance,  and  equal  with  the  Father,  did,  when  the  fulness  of  time  was  come, 
take  upon  him  man's  nature,  with  all  the  essential  properties  and  common  infirmitie^s 
thereof  yet  without  sin ;  being  conceived  by  the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  in  the 
womb  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  of  her  substance.  So  that  two  whole,  perfect,  and  distinct 
natures,  the  Godhead  and  the  manhood,  were  inseparably  joined  together  in  one  per- 
son, without  conversion,  composition,  or  confusion.  Which  person  is  very  God,  and 
very  man,  yet  one  Christ,  the  only  mediator  between  God  and  man. 

The  Lord  Jesus,  in  his  human  nature  thus  united  to  the  divine,  was  sanctified  and 
anointed  with  the  Holy  Spirit  above  measure  ;  having  in  him  all  the  treasures  of  wis- 
dom and  knowledge,  in  whom  it  pleased  the  Father  that  aU  fulness  should  dwell ;  to 
the  end  that  being  holy,  harmless,  undefiled,  and  full  of  grace  and  truth,  he  might  be 
thoroughly  furnished  to  execute  the  office  of  a  mediator  and  surety.  Which  office  he 
took  not  unto  himself,  but  was  thereunto  called  by  his  Father,  who  put  all  power 
and  judgment  into  his  hand,  and  gave  him  commandment  to  execute  the  same. 

This  office  the  Lord  Jesus  did  most  willingly  undertake ;  which  that  he  might  dis- 
charge, he  was  made  under  the  law,  and  did  perfectly  fulfill  it ;  endured  most  griev- 
ous torments  immediately  in  his  soul,  and  most  painful  sufferings  in  his  body ;  was 
crucified,  and  died ;  was  buried,  and  remained  under  the  power  of  death ;  yet  saw 
no  corruption.  On  the  third  day'he  rose  from  the  dead,  with  the  same  body  in  which 
he  suffered ;  with  which  also  he  ascended  into  heaven,  and  there  sitteth  at  the  right 
hand  of  his  Father,  making  intercession  ;  and  shall  return  to  judge  men  and  angels. 

The  Lord  Jesus,  by  his  perfect  obedience  and  sacrifice  of  himself,  which  he  through 
the  eternal  Spirit  offered  up  unto  God,  hath  fully  satisfied  the  justice  of  his  Father ; 
and  purchased,  not  only  reconciliation,  but  an  everlasting  inheritance  in  the  kingdom 
of  heaven,  for  all  those  whom  the  Father  hath  given  unto  him. 

Although  the  work  of  redemption  was  not  actually  wrought  by  Christ  till  after  his 
incarnation,  yet  the  virtue,  efficacy,  and  benefits  thereof,  were  communicated  unto 
the  elect  in  all  ages  successively  from  the  beginning  of  the  world,  in  and  by  those 
promises,  types,  and  sacrifices,  wherein  he  was  revealed,  and  signified  to  be  the  seed 
of  the  woman,  which  should  bruise  the  serpent's  head,  and  the  Lamb  slain  from  the 
beginning  of  the  world,  being  yesterday  and  to-day  the  same  and  forever. 

Christ,  in  the  work  of  mediation,  acteth  according  to  both  natures ;  by  each  nature 
doing  that  which  is  proper  to  itself;  yet  by  reason  of  the  unity  of  the  person,  that 
which  is  proper  to  one  nature  is  sometimes,  in  Scripture,  attributed  to  the  person 
denominated  by  the  other  nature. 

To  all  those  for  whom  Christ  hath  purchased  redemption,  he  doth  certainly  and 
effectually  apply  and  communicate  the  same,  making  intercession  for  them,  and  re- 
vealing unto  them,  in  and  by  the  word,  the  mysteries  of  salvation ;  effectually  per- 
suading them,  by  his  Spirit,  to  believe  and  obey ;  and  governing  their  hearts,  by  his 
word  and  Spirit ;  overcoming  aU  their  enemies  by  his  almighty  power  and  wisdom, 
in  such  manner  and  ways  as  are  most  consonant  to  his  wonderful  and  unsearchable 
dispensation. 

9.  Of  Free  Will. — God  hath  endued  the  will  of  man  with  that  natural  liberty,  that 
it  is  neither  forced,  nor  by  any  absolute  necessity  of  nature  determined  to  good  or 
evil. 

Man,  in  his  state  of  innocency,  had  freedom  and  power  to  will  and  to  do  that 
which  is  good  and  well-pleasing  to  God ;  but  yet  mutably,  so  that  he  might  fall  from  it. 

Man,  by  his  fall  into  a  state  of  sin,  hath  wholly  lost  all  ability  of  will  to  any  spirit- 
ual good  accompanying  salvation*;  so  as  a  natural  man,  being  altogether  averse  from 

12 


178  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

that  good,  and  dead  in  sin,  is  not  able  by  his  own  strength  to  convert  himself  or  to 
prepare  himself  thereunto. 

When  God  converts  a  sinner,  and  translates  him  into  the  state  of  grace,  he  freeth 
him  from  his  natural  bondage  under  sin,  and  by  his  grace  alone  enables  him  freely  to 
will  and  to  do  that  which  is  spiritually  good ;  yet  so  as  that,  by  reason  of  his  remain- 
ing corruption,  he  doth  not  perfectly,  nor  only,  will  that  which  is  good,  but  doth  also 
will  that  which  is  evil. 

The  will  of  man  is  made  perfectly  and  immutably  free  to  good  alone,  in  the  state 
of  glory  only. 

10.  Of  Effectual  Calling. — All  those  whom  God  hath  predestinated  unto  life,  and 
those  only,  he  is  pleased,  in  his  appointed  and  accepted  time,  effectually  to  coll,  by 
his  word  and  Spirit,  out  of  that  state  of  sin  and  death,  in  which  they  are  by  nature, 
to  grace  and  salvation  by  Jesus  Christ ;  enlightening  their  minds,  spiritually  and 
savingly,  to  understand  the  things  of  God,  taking  away  their  heart  of  stone,  and 
giving  unto  them  a  heart  of  flesh ;  renewing  their  wills,  and  by  his  almighty  power 
determining  them  to  that  which  is  good;  and  effectually  drawing  them  to  Jesus 
Christ ;  yet  so  as  they  come  most  freely,  being  made  willing  by  his  grace. 

This  effectual  call  is  of  God's  free  and  special  grace  alone,  not  from  any  thing  at 
all  foreseen  in  man,  who  is  altogether  passive  therein,  until,  being  quickened  and  re- 
newed by  the  Holy  Spirit,  he  is  thereby  enabled  to  answer  this  call,  and  to  embrace 
the  grace  offered  and  conveyed  in  it. 

Elect  infants,  dying  in  infancy,  are  regenerated  and  saved  by  Christ  through  the 
Spirit,  who  worketh  when,  and  where,  and  how  he  pleaseth.  So  also  are  all  other 
elect  persons  who  are  incapable  of  being  outwardly  called  by  the  ministry  of  the 
word. 

Others,  not  elected,  although  they  may  be  called  by  the  ministry  of  the  word,  and 
may  have  some  common  operations  of  the  Spirit,  yet  never  truly  come  to  Christ,  and 
therefore  cannot  be  saved ;  much  less  can  men,  not  professing  the  Christian  religion, 
be  saved  in  any  other  way  whatsoever,  be  they  never  so  diligent  to  frame  their  lives 
according  to  the  light  of  nature,  and  the  law  of  that  religion  they  do  profess  ;  and  to 
assert  and  maintain  that  they  may  is  very  pernicious,  and  to  be  detested. 

11.  Of  Justification. — Those  whom  God  effectually  calleth,  he  also  freely  justi- 
fieth  ;  not  by  infusing  righteousness  into  them,  but  by  pardoning  their  sins;  arid  by 
accounting  and  accepting  their  persons  as  righteous ;  not  for  airvthing  wrought  in 
them,  or  done  by  them,  but  for  Christ's  sake  alone ;  not  by  imputing  faith  itself, 
the  act  of  believing,  or  any  other  evangelical  obedience  to  them,  as  their  righteous- 
ness ;  but  by  imputing  the  obedience  and  satisfaction  of  Christ  unto  them,  they  re- 
ceiving and  resting  on  him  and  his  righteousness  by  faith  ;  which  faith  they  have  not 
of  themselves,  it  is  the  gift  of  God. 

Faith,  thus  receiving  and  resting  on  Christ  and  his  righteousness,  is  the  alone 
instrument  of  justification ;  3ret  is  it  not  alone  in  the  person  justified,  but  is 
ever  accompanied  with  all  other  saving  graces,  and  is  no  dead  faith,  but  worketh  by 
love. 

Christ,  by  his  obedience  and  death,  did  fully  discharge  the  debt  of  all  those  that 
are  thus  justified,  and  did  make  a  proper,  real  and  full  satisfaction  to  his  Father's 
justice  in  their  behalf.  Yet,  inasmuch  as  he  was  given  by  the  Father  for  them,  and 
his  obedience  and  satisfaction  accepted  in  their  stead,  and  both  freely,  not  for  any- 
thing in  them,  their  justification  is  only  of  free  grace;  that  both  the  exact  justice, 
and  rich  grace  of  God,  might  be  glorified  in  the  justification  of  sinners. 

God  did,  from  all  eternity,  decree  to  justify  all  the  elect ;  and  Christ  did,  in  the 
fullness  of  time,  die  for  their  sins,  and  rise  again  for  their  justification ;  nevertheless, 
they  are  not  justified,  uutil  the  Holy  Spirit  doth,  in  due  time,  actually  apply  Christ 
unto  them. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  179 

God  doth  continue  to  forgive  the  sina  of  those  that  are  justified;  and  although 
they  can  never  fall  from  the  state  of  justification,  yet  they  may,  by  their  sins,  full 
under  God's  fatherly  displeasure,  and  not  have  the  light  of  his  countenance  restored 
unto  them,  until  they  humble  themselves,  confess  their  sins,  beg  pardon,  and  renew 
their  faith  and  repentance. 

The  justification  of  believers  under  the  Old  Testament  was,  in  all  these  respects, 
one  and  the  same  with  the  justification  of  believers  under  the  New  Testament 

12.  Of  Adoption. — All  those  that  are  justified,  God  vouchsafeth,  in  and  for  his 
only  Son  Jesus  Christ,  to  make  partakers  of  the  grace  of  adoption ;  by  which  they 
are  taken  into  the  number,  and  enjoy  the  liberties  and  privileges  of  the  children  of 
God ;  have  his  name  put  upon  them  ;  receive  the  spirit  of  adoption  ;  have  access  to 
the  throne  of  grace  with  boldness ;  are  enabled  to  cry  Abba,  Father ;  are  pitied, 
protected,  provided  for,  and  chastened  by  him  as  by  a  father;  yet  never  cast  off,  but 
sealed  to  the  day  of  redemption,  and  inherit  the  promises,  as  heirs  of  everlasting 
saivation. 

13.  Of  Sanctification. — They  who  are  effectually  called  and  regenerated,  having  a 
new  heart  and  a  new  spirit  created  in  them,  are  further  sanctified,  really  and  person- 
ally, through  the  virtue  of  Christ's  death  and  resurrection,  by  his  word  and  Spirit 
dwelling  in  them ;  the  dominion  of  the  whole  body  of  sin  is  destroyed,  and  the  sev- 
eral lusts  thereof  are  more  and  more  weakened  and  mortified,  and  they  more  and 
more  quickened  and  strengthened  in  all  saving  graces,  to  the  practice  of  true  holiness, 
without  which  no  man  shall  see  the  Lord.     * 

This  sanctification  is  throughout  in  the  whole  man,  yet  imperfect  in  this  life ;  there 
abide  still  some  remnants  of  corruption  in  every  part,  whence  ariseth  a  continual  and 
irreconcilable  war,  the  flesh  lusting  against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit  against  the 
flesh. 

In  which  war,  although  the  remaining  corruption  for  a  time  may  much  prevail,  yet, 
through  the  continual  supply  of  strength  from  the  sanctifying  Spirit  of  Christ,  the 
regenerate  part  doth  overcome  ;  and  so  the  saints  grow  in  grace,  perfecting  holiness 
in  the  fear  of  God. 

14.  Of  Saving  Faith. — The  grace  of  faith,  whereby  the  elect  are  enabled  to  believe 
to  the  saving  of  their  souls,  is  the  work  of  the  Spirit  of  Christ  in  their,  hearts;  and 
is  ordinarily  wrought  by  the  ministry  of  the  word ;  by  which,  also,  anfl  by  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  sacraments  and  prayer,  it  is  increased  and  strengthened. 

By  this  faith,  a  Christian  believeth  to  be  true,  whatsoever  is  revealed  in  the  word, 
for  the  authority  of  God  himself  is  speaking  therein,  and  acteth  differently  upon  that 
which  eacli  particular  passage  thereof  containeth,  yielding  obedience  to  the  commands, 
trembling  at  the  threatenings,  and  embracing  the  promises  of  God  for  this  life  and 
that  which  is  to  come.  But  the  principal  acts  of  saving  faith  are,  accepting,  receiving, 
and  resting  upon  Christ  alone  for  justification,  sanctification,  and  eternal  lite,  by  virtue 
of  the  covenant  of  grace. 

This  faith  is  different  in  degrees,  weak  or  strong ;  may  be  often  and  many  ways 
assailed  and  weakened,  but  gets  the  victory,  growing  up  in  many  to  the  attain- 
ment of  a  full  assurance  through  Christ,  who  is  both  the  author  and  finisher  of  our 
faith. 

Of  Repentance  unto  Life. — Repentance  unto  life  is  an  evangelical  grace,  the  doctrine 
whereof  is  to  be  preached  by  every  minister  of  the  Gospel,  as  well  as  that  of  faith  in 
Christ. 

By  it,  a  sinner  out  of  sight  and  sense,  not  only  of  the  danger,  but  also  of  the 
filthiness  and  odiousness  of  his  sins,  as  contrary  to  the  holy  natnre  and  righteous 
law  of  God,  and  upon  the  apprehension  of  his  mercy  in  Christ  to  such  as  are  peni- 
tent, so  grieves  for,  and  hates  his  sins,  as  to  turn  from  them  all  unto  God,  pur- 
posing and  endeavoring  to  walk  with  him  in  all  the  ways  of  his  commandments. 


180  AMERICAN*   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

Although  repentance  be  not  to  be  rested  in  as  any  satisfaction  for  sin,  or  any  cause 
of  the  pardon  thereof,  which  is  the  act  of  God's  free  grace  in  Christ;  yet  is  it  of  such 
necessity  to  all  sinners  that  none  may  expect  pardon  without  it. 

As  there  is  no  sin  so  small  but  it  deserves  damnation ;  so  there  is  no  sin  so  great, 
that  it  can  bring  damnation  upon  those  who  truly  repent. 

Men  ought  not  to  content  themselves  with  a  general  repentance,  but  it  is  every 
man's  duty  to  endeavor  to  repent  of  his  particular  sins,  particularly. 

As  every  man  is  bound  to  make  private  confession  of  his  sins  to  God,  praying  for  ' 
the  pardon  thereof;  upon  which,  and  the  forsaking  of  them,  he  shall  rind  mercy ;  so 
he  that  scandalizeth  his  brother,  or  the  Church  of  Christ,  ought  to  be  willing,  by  a 
private  or  public  confession  and  sorrow  for  his  sin,  to  declare  his  repentance  to  those 
that  are  offended ;  who  are  thereupon  to  be  reconciled  to  him  and  in  love  to  receive 
him. 

16.  Of  Good  Works. — Good  works  are  only  such  as  God  hath  commanded  in  his 
holy  word,  and  not  such  as,  without  the  warrant  thereof,  are  devised  by  men  out  of 
blind  zeal,  or  upon  any  pretence  of  good  intention. 

These  good  works,  done  in  obedience  to  God's  commandments,  are  the  fruits  and 
evidences  of  a  true  and  lively  faith :  and  by  them  believers  manifest  their  thankful- 
ness, strengthen  their  assurance,  edify  their  brethren,  adorn  the  profession  of  the 
gospel,  stop  the  mouths  of  the  adversaries,  and  glorify  God,  whose  workmanship 
they  are,  created  in  Christ  Jesus  thereunto,  that,  having  their  frnit  unto  holiness, 
they  may  have  the  end,  eternal  life. 

Their  ability  to  do  good  works  is  not  at  all  of  themselves,  but  wholly  from  the 
Spirit  of  Christ.  And  that  they  may  be  enabled  thereunto,  besides  the  graces  they 
have  already  received,  there  is  required  an  actual  influence  of  the  same  Holy  Spirit, 
to  work  in  them,  to  will  and  to  do,  of  his  great  pleasure ;  yet  are  they  not  hereupon 
to  grow  negligent,  as  if  they  were  not  bound  to  perform  any  duty  unless  upon  a 
special  motion  of  the  Spirit ;  but  they  ought  to  be  diligent  in  stirring  up  the  grace 
of  God  that  is  in  them. 

They,  who  in  their  obedience  attain  to  the  greatest  height  which  is  possible  in  this 
life,  are  so  far  from  being  able  to  supererogate,  and  to  do  more  than  God  requires, 
that  they  fall  short  of  much,  which  in  duty  they  are  bound  to  do. 

We  cannot  by  our  best  works  merit  pardon  of  sin,  or  eternal  life,  at  the  hand  of 
God,  by  reason  of  the  great  disproportion  that  is  between  them  and  the  glory  to 
come,  and  the  infinite  distance  that  is  between  us  and  God,  whom,  by  them,  we  can 
neither  profit,  nor  satisfy  for  the  debt  of  our  former  sins;  but  when  we  have  done 
all  we  can,  we  have  done  but  our  duty,  and  are  unprofitable  servants;  and  because, 
as  they  are  good,  they  proceed  from  his  Spirit;  and,  as  they  are  wrought  by  us,  they 
are  defiled  and  mixed  with  so  much  weakness  and  imperfection,  that  they  cannot 
endure  the  severity  of  God's  judgment. 

Yet  notwithstanding,  the  persons  of  believers  being  accepted  through  Christ,  their 
good  works  also  are  accepted  in  him,  not  as  though  they  were""  in  this  life  wholly  un- 
blamable and  unreprovable  in  God's  sight;  but  that  he,  looking  upon  them  in  his 
Son,  is  pleased  to  accept  and  reward  that  which  is  sincere,  although  accompanied 
with  many  weaknesses  and  imperfections. 

Works  done  by  uuregenerated  men,  although  for  the  matter  of  them,  they  may  be 
things  which  God  commands,  and  of  good  use  both  to  themselves  and  others ;  yet, 
because  they  proceed  not  from  a  heart  purified  by  faith^  nor  are  done  in  a  right 
manner,  according  to  the  word ;  nor  to  a  right  end,  the  glory  of  God ;  they  are  there- 
fore sinful,  and  cannot  please  God,  or  make  a  man  meet  to  receive  grace  from  God. 
And  yet  their  neglect  of  them  is  more  sinful,  and  displeasing  unto  God. 

17.  Of  the  Perseverance  of  Hie  Saints. — They,  whom  God  hath  accepted  in  his  Be- 
loved, effectually  called  and  sanctified  by  his  Spirit,  can  neither  totally  nor  finally 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  181 

fall  away  from  the  state  of  grace ;  but  shall  certainly  persevere  therein  to  the  end, 
and  be  eternally  saved. 

This  perseverance  of  the  saints  depends,  not  upon  their  own  free-will,  but  upon  the 
immutability  of  the  decree  of  election,  flowing  from  the  free  and  unchangeable  love 
of  God  the  Father;  upon  the  efficacy  of  the  merit  and  intercession  of  Jesus  Christ; 
the  abiding  of  the  Spirit  and  of  the  seed  of  God  within  them  ;  and  the  nature  of  the 
covenant  of  grace :  from  all  which  ariseth  also  the  certainty  and  infallibility  thereof. 

Nevertheless,  they  may,  through  the  temptations  of  Satan  and  of  the  world,  the 
prevalency  of  corruption  remaining  in  them,  and  the  neglect  of  the  means  of  their 
preservation,  fall  into  grievous  sins,  and  for  a  time  continue  therein ;  whereby  they 
incur  God's  displeasure,  and  grieve  his  Holy  Spirit ;  come  to  be  deprived  of  some 
measure  of  their  graces  and  comforts ;  have  their  hearts  hardened,  and  their  con- 
sciences wounded ;  hurt  and  scandalize  others,  and  bring  temporal  judgments  upon 
themselves. 

18.  Of  the  Assurance  of  Grace  and  Salvation. — Although  hypocrites,  and  other  un- 
regenerated  men,  may  vainly  deceive  themselves  with  false  hopes  and  carnal  pre- 
sumptions of  being  in  the  favor  of  God  and  estate  of  salvation ;  which  hope  of  theirs 
shall  perish  ;  yet  such  as  truly  believe  in  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  love  him  in  sincerity, 
endeavoring  to  walk  in  all  good  conscience  before  him,  may  in  this  life  be  certainly  as- 
sured that  they  are  in  a  state  of  grace,  and  may  rejoice  in  the  hope  of  the  glory  of 
God ;  which  hope  shall  never  make  them  ashamed. 

This,  certainly,  is  not  a  bare  conjectural  and  probable  persuasion,  grounded  upon 
a  fallible  hope  ;  but  an  infallible  assurance  of  faith,  founded  upon  the  divine  truth  of 
the  promises  of  salvation,  the  inward  evidence  of  those  graces  unto  which  these 
promises  are  made,  the  testimony  of  the  Spirit  of  adoption  witnessing  with  our  spirits 
that  we  are  the  children  of  God ;  which  Spirit  is  the  earnest  of  our  inheritance, 
whereby  we  are  sealed  to  the  day  of  redemption. 

This  infallible  assurance  doth  not  so  belong  to  the  essence  of  faith,  but  that  a  true 
believer  may  wait  long,  and  conflict  with  many  difficulties  before  he  can  be  a  par- 
taker of  it ;  yet,  being  enabled  by  the  Spirit  to  know  the  things  which  are  rreely 
given  him  of  God,  he  may,  without  extraordinary  revelation  in  the  right  use  of 
ordinary  means,  attain  thereunto.  And,  therefore,  it  is  the  duty  of  every  one  to  give 
all  diligence  to  make  his  calling  and  election  sure ;  that  thereby  his  heart  may  be 
enlarged  in  peace  and  joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost,  in  love  and  thankfulness  to  God,  and  in 
strength  and  cheerfulness  in  the  duties  of  obedience,  the  proper  fruits  of  this  assur- 
ance :  so  far  ie  it  from  inclining  men  to  looseness. 

True  believers  may  have  the  assurance  of  their  salvation  divers  ways  shaken, 
diminished,  and  intermitted  ;  as  by  negligence  in  preserving  it ;  by  -falling  into  some 
special  sin,  which  woundeth  the  conscience,  and  grieveth  the  Spirit ;  by  some  sud- 
den or  vehement  temptation ;  by  God's  withdrawing  the  light  of  his  countenance, 
and  suffering  even  such  as  fear  him  to  walk  in  darkness  and  to  have  no  light.  Yet 
are  they  never  utterly  destitute  of  that  need  of  God,  and  life  of  faith,  that  love  of 
Christ  and  the  brethren,  that  sincerity  of  heart  and  conscience  of  duty  out  of  which 
by  the  operation  of  the  Spirit,  this  assurance  may  in  due  time  be  revived,  and  by  the 
which,  in  the  mean  time,  they  are  supported  from  utter  despair. 

19.  Of  the  Law  of  God. — God  gave  to  Adam  a  law,  as  a  covenant  of  works,  by 
which  he  bound  him  and  all  his  posterity  to  personal,  entire,  exact,  and  perpetual 
obedience ;  promised  life  upon  the  fulfilling,  and  threatened  death  upon  the  breach 
of  it ;  and  endued  him  with  power  and  ability  to  keep  it. 

This  law,  after  his  fall,  continued  to  be  a  perfect  rule  of  righteousness ;  and,  as 
such,  was  delivered  by  God,  upon  Mount  Sinai,  in  ten  commandments,  and  written  in 
two  tables ;  the  first  four  commandments  containing  our  duty  towards  God,  and  the 
other  six  our  duty  to  man. 


.82  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

Besides  this  law,  commonly  called  moral,  God  was  pleased  to  give  to  the  people 
of  Israel,  as  a  church  under  age,  ceremonial  laws,  containing  several  typical  ordi- 
nances, partly  of  worship,  prefiguring  Christ,  his  graces,  actions,  sufferings,  and  bene- 
fits ;  and  partly  holding  forth  divers  instructions  of  moral  duties.  All  which  cere- 
monial laws  are  now  abrogated  under  the  Xew  Testament. 

To  them  also,  as  a  bod}'  politic,  he  gave  sundry  judicial  laws,  which  expired  to- 
gether with  the  State  of  that  people,  not  obliging  any  other  now,  further  than  the 
general  equity  thereof  may  require. 

The  moral  law  doth  for  ever  bind  all,  as  well  justified  persons  as  others,  to  the 
obedience  thereof;  and  that  not  only  in  regard  of  the  matter  contained  in  it,  but  also 
in  respect  of  the  authority  of  God  the  Creator  who  gave  it.  Xeither  doth  Christ  iu 
the  gospel  any  way  dissolve,  but  much  strengthen,  this  obligation. 

Although  time  believers  be  not  under  the  law  as  a  covenant  of  works,  to  be 
thereby  justified  or  condemned ;  yet  is  it  of  great  use  to  them,  as  well  as  to  others  ; 
in  that  as  a  rule  of  life,  informing  them  of  the  will  of  God  and  their  duty,  it  directs 
and  binds  them  to  walk  accordingly  ;  discovering  also  the  sinful  pollutions  of  their 
nature,  hearts,  and  lives;  so  as,  examining  themselves  thereby,  they  may  come  to 
further  conviction  of,  humiliation  for,  and  hatred  against  sin;  together  with  a  clearer 
sight  of  the  need  they  have  of  Christ,  and  the  perfection  of  his  obedience.  It  is  like- 
wise of  use  to  the  regenerate,  to  restrain  their  corruptions,  in  that  it  forbids  sin ; 
and  the  threatenings  of  it  serve  to  show  what  even  their  sins  deserve,  and  what 
afilictions  in  this  life  they  may  expect  for  them,  although  freed  from  the  curse  there- 
of threatened  in  the  law.  The  promises  of  it,  in  like  manner,  show  them  God's 
approbation  of  obedience,  and  what  blessings  they  may  expect  upon  the  performance 
thereof;  although  not  as  due  to  them  by  the  law  as  a  covenant  of  works :  so  as,  a 
man's  doing  good,  and  refraining  from  evil,  because  the  law  encourageth  to  the  one, 
and  deterreth  from  the  other,  is  no  evidence  of  his  being  under  the  law,  and  not. 
under  grace. 

Xeither  are  the  forementioned  uses  of  the  law  contrary  to  the  grace  of  the  gospel, 
but  do  sweetly  comply  witli  it :  the  Spirit  of  Christ  subduing  and  enabling  the  will 
of  man  to  do  that  freely  and  cheerfully,  which  the  will  of  God,  revealed  in  the  law, 
requireth  to  be  done. 

•  Of  Christian  Liberty,  and  Liberty  of  Conscience. — The  liberty  which  Christ  hath 
purchased  for  believers  under  the  gospel  consists  iu  their  freedom  from  the  guilt  of 
sin,  the  condemning  wrath  of  God,  the  curse  of  the  moral  law ;  and  in  their  being 
delivered  from  this  present  evil  world,  bondage  to  Satan,  and  dominion  of  sin,  from 
the  evil  of  afflictions,  the  sting  of  death,  the  victory  of  the  grave,  and  everlasting 
damnation  ;  as  also  in  their  free  access  to  God,  and  their  yielding  obedience  unto 
him,  not  out  of  slavish  fear,  but  a  child-like  love,  and  a  willing  mind.  All  which 
were  common  also  to  believers  under  the  law ;  but  under  the  Xew  Testament,  the 
liberty  of  Christians  is  further  enlarged  in  their  freedom  from  the  yoke  of  the  cere- 
monial law.  to  which  the  Jewish  church  was  subjected ;  and  in  greater  boldness  of 
access  to  the  throne  of  grace,  and  in  fuller  communications  of  the  free  Spirit  of  God, 
than  believers  under  the  law  did  ordinarily  partake  of. 

God  alone  is  Lord  of  the  conscience,  and  hath  left  it  free  from  the  doctrines  and 
commandments  of  men,  which  are  in  any  thing  contrary  to  his  word,  or  beside  it,  in 
matters  of  faith  or  worship.  So  that  to  believe  such  doctrines,  or  to  obey  such  com- 
mandments out  of  conscience,  is  to  betray  true  liberty  of  conscience ;  and  the  re- 
quiring an  implicit  faith,  and  an  absolute  and  blind  obedience,  is  to  destroy  liberty 
of  conscience,  and  reason  also. 

They  who,  upon  pretence  of  Christian  liberty,  do  practise  any  sin,  or  cherish  any 
lust,  do  thereby  destroy  the  end  of  Christian  liberty ;  which  is,  that,  being  delivered 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  183 

out  of  the  hands  of  our  enemies,  we  might  serve  the  Lord  without  fear,  in  holiness 
and  righteousness  before  him,  all  the  days  of  our  life. 

And  because  the  powers  which  God  hath  ordained,  and  the  liberty  which  Christ 
hath  purchased,  are  not  intended  by  God  to  destroy,  but  mutually  to  uphold  and  pre- 
serve one  another ;  they  who,  upon  pretence  of  Christian  liberty,  shall  oppose  any 
lawful  power,  or  the  lawful  exercise  of  it,  whether  it  be  civil  or  ecclesiastical,  resist 
the  ordinance  of  God.  And  for  their  publishing  of  such  opinions,  or  maintaining 
of  such  practices,  as  are  contrary  to  the  light  of  nature,  or  to  the  known  principles 
of  Christianity,  whether  concerning  faith,  worship,  or  conversation ;  or  to  the  power 
of  godliness  ;  or  such  erroneous  opinions  or  practices,  as,  either  in  their  own  nature, 
or  in  the  manner  of  publishing  or  maintaining  them,  are  destructive  to  the  external 
peace  and  order  which  Christ  hath  established  in  the  church,  they  may  lawfully  be 
called  to  account,  and  proceeded  against  by  the  censures  of  the  church. 

21.  Of  Religious  Worship  and  tlte  Sabbath-day. — The  light  of  nature  showeth  that 
there  is  a  God,  who  hath  lordship  and  sovereignty  over  all ;  is  good,  and  doeth  good 
unto  all ;  and  is  therefore  to  be  feared,  loved,  praised,  called  upon,  trusted  in,  and 
served  with  all  the  heart,  and  with  all  the  soul,  and  with  all  the  might.  But  the  ac- 
ceptable way  of  worshipping  the  true  God  is  instituted  by  himself,  and  so  limited  by 
his  own  revealed  will,  that  he  may  not  be  worshipped  according  to  the  imaginations 
and  devices  of  men,  or  the  suggestions  of  Satan,  under  any  visible  representation  or 
any  other  way  not  prescribed  in  the  Holy  Scriptures. 

Religious  worship  is  to  be  given  to  God,  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost ;  and  to 
him  alone  ;  not  to  angels,  saints,  or  any  other  creature  ;  and  since  the  fall,  not  with- 
out a  Mediator  ;  nor  in  the  mediation  of  any  other  but  of  Christ  alone. 

Prayer  with  thanksgiving,  being  one  special  part  of  religious  worship,  is  by  God 
required  of  all  men  ;  and  that  it  may  be  accepted,  it  is  to  be  made  in  the  name  of  the 
Son,  by  the  help  of  his  Spirit,  according  to  his  will,  with  understanding,  reverence, 
humility,  fervency,  faith,  love  and  perseverance ;  and,  if  vocal,  in  a  known  tongue. 

Prayer  is  to  be  made  for  things  lawful,  and  for  all  sorts  of  men  living,  or  that  shall 
live  hereafter  ;  but  not  for  the  dead,  nor  for  those  of  whom  it  may  be  known  that 
they  have  sinned  the  sin  unto  death. 

The  reading  of  the  Scriptures  with  godly  fear ;  the  sound  preaching,  and  conscion- 
able  hearing  of  the  word,  in  obedience  unto  God,  with  understanding,  faith,  and  rev- 
erence;  singing  of  psalms  with  grace  in  the  heart ;  as,  also,  the  due' administration 
and  worthy  receiving  of  the  sacraments  instituted  by  Christ ;  are  all  parts  of  the 
ordinary  religious  worship  of  God :  besides  religious  oaths,  and  vows,  solemn  fast- 
ings, and  thanksgivings  upon  special  occasions  ;  which  are,  in  their  several  times  and 
seasons,  to  be  used  in  an  holy  and  religious  manner. 

Neither  prayer,  nor  any  other  part  of  religious  worship,  is  now,  under  the  gospel, 
either  tied  unto,  or  made  more  acceptable  by  any  place  in  which  it  is  performed,  or 
towards  which  it  is  directed ;  but  God  is  to  be  worshipped  every  where,  in  spirit  and 
in  truth ;  as  in  private  families  daily,  and  in  secret  each  one  by  himself,  so  more 
solemnly  in  the  public  assemblies,  which  are  not  carelessly  or  wilfully  to  be  neglected 
or  forsaken,  when  God,  by  his  word  or  providence,  calleth  thereunto. 

As  it  is  of  the  law  of  nature,  that,  in  general,  a  due  proportion  of  time  be  set  apart 
lor  the  worship  of  God ;  so,  in  his  word,  by  a  positive,  moral,  and  perpetual  com- 
mandment, binding  all  men  in  all  ages,  he  hath  particularly  appointed  one  day  in 
seven  for  a  Sabbath;  to  be  kept  holy  unto  him;  which,  from  the  beginning  of  the 
world  to  the  resurrection  of  Christ,  was  the  last  day  of  the  week;  and,  from  the 
resurrection  of  Christ,  was  changed  into  the  first  day  of  the  week,  which  in  Scripture 
is  called  the  Lord's  da}",  and  is  to  be  continued  to  the  end  of  the  world,  as  tho 
Christian  Sabbath. 

This  Sabbath  is  then  kept  holy  unto  the  Lord,  when  men,  after  a  due  preparing  of 


184  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

their  hearts,  and  ordering  of  their  common  affairs  beforehand,  do  not  only  observe 
an  holy  rest  all  the  day  from  their  own  works,  words,  and  thoughts,  about  their 
worldly  employments  and  recreations ;  but  also  are  taken  up  the  whole  time  in  the 
public  and  private  exercises  of  his  worship,  and  in  the  duties  of  necessity  and 
mercy. 

22.  Of  Lanful  Oaths  and  Vows. — A  lawful  oath  is  a  part  of  religious  worship 
wherein  upon  just  occasion,  the  person  swearing,  solemnly  calleth  God  to  witness 
what  he  asserteth  or  promiseth;  and  to  judge  him  according  to  the  truth  or  falsehood 
of  what  he  sweareth. 

The  name  of  God  only  is  that  by  which  men  ought  to  swear,  and  therein  it  is  to 
be  used  with  all  holy  fear  and  reverence ;  therefore  to  swear  vainly  or  rashly  by  that 
glorious  and  dreadful  name,  or  to  swear  at  all  by  any  other  thing,  is  sinful,  and  to  be 
abhorred.  Yet  as,  in  matters  of  weight  and  moment,  an  oath  is  warranted  by  the 
word  of  God  under  the  New  Testament,  as  well  as  under  the  Old,  so  a  lawful  oath, 
being  imposed  by  lawful  authority,  in  such  matters  ought  to  be  taken. 

Whosoever  taketh  an  oath  ought  duly  to  consider  the  weightiness  of  so  solemn 
an  act,  and  therein  to  avouch  nothing  but  what  he  is  fully  persuaded  is  the  truth. 
Neither  may  any  man  bind  himself  by  an  oath  to  any  thing  but  what  is  good  and 
just,  and  what  he  believeth  so  to  be,  aud  what  he  is  able  and  resolved  to  perform. 
Yet  it  is  a  sin  to  refuse  an  oath  touching  any  thing  that  is  good  and  just,  being  im- 
posed by  lawful  authority. 

An  oath  is  to  be  taken  in  the  plain  and  common  sense  of  the  words,  without 
equivocation  or  mental  reservation.  It  cannot  oblige  to  sin ;  but  in  any  thing  not 
sinful,  being  taken,  it  binds  to  performance,  although  to  a  man's  own  hurt ;  nor  is  it 
to  be  violated,  although  made  to  heretics  or  infidels. 

A  vow  is  of  the  like  nature  with  a  promissory  oath,  and  ought  to  be  made  with 
the  like  religious  care,  and  to  be  performed  with  the  like  faithfulness. 

It  is  not  to  be  made  to  any  creature,  but  to  God  alone ;  and  that  it  may  be  accepted, 
it  is  to  be  made  voluntarily,  out  of  faith,  and  conscience  of  duty,  in  way  of  thankful- 
ness for  mercy  received,  or  for  the  obtaining  of  what  we  want ;  whereby  we  more 
strictly  bind  ourselves  to  necessary  duties,  or  to  other  things,  so  far  and  so  long  as 
they  may  fitly  conduce  thereunto. 

No  man  may  vow  to  do  any  thing  forbidden  in  the  word  of  God,  or  what  would 
hinder  any  duty  therein  commanded,  or  which  is  not  in  his  own  power,  and  for  the 
performance  whereof  he  hath  no  promise  or  ability  from  God.  In  which  respects, 
popish  monastical  vows  of  perpetual  single  life,  professed  poverty,  and  regular  obe- 
dience, are  so  far  from  being  degrees  of  higher  perfection,  that  they  are  superstitious 
and  sinful  snares,  in  which  no  Christian  may  entangle  himself. 

23.  Of  the  Civil  Magistrate. — God,  the  Supreme  Lord  and  King  of  all  the  world, 
hath  ordained  civil  magistrates  to  be  under  him  over  the  people,  for  his  own  glory 
and  the  public  good,  and  to  this  end  hath  armed  them  with  the  power  of  the  sword, 
for  the  defence  and  encouragement  of  them  that  are  good,  and  for  the  punishment  of 
evil  doers. 

It  is  lawful  for  Christians  to  accept  and  execute  the  office  of  a  magistrate,  when 
called  thereunto ;  in  the  managing  whereof,  as  they  ought  especially  to  maintain 
piety,  justice  and  peace,  according  to  the  wholesome  laws  of  each  commonwealth, 
so,  for  that  end,  they  may  lawfully,  now  under  the  New  Testament,  wage  war  upon 
just  and  necessary  occasions. 

Civil  magistrates  may  not  assume  to  themselves  the  administration  of  the  word  and 
sacraments ;  or  the  power  of  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven ;  or,  in  the  least 
interfere  in  matters  of  faith.  Yet,  as  nursing  fathers,  it  is  the  duty  of  civil  magis- 
trates to  protect  the  church  of  our  common  Lord,  without  giving  the  preference  to 
any  denomination  of  Christians  above  the  rest,  in  such  a  manner  that  all  ecclesiasti- 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  185 

cal  persons  whatever  shall  enjoy  the  full,  free,  and  unquestioned  liberty  of  discharging 
every  part  of  their  sacred  functions,  without  violence  or  danger.  And,  as  Jesus 
Christ  hath  appointed  a  regular  government  and  discipline  in  his  church,  no  law  of 
any  commonwealth  should  interfere  with,  let  or  hinder,  the  due  exercise  thereof, 
among  the  voluntary  members  of  any  denomination  of  Christians,  according  to  their 
own  profession  and  belief.  It  is  the  duty  of  civil  magistrates  to  protect  the  person 
and  good  name  of  all  their  people,  in  such  an  effectual  manner  as  that  no  person  be 
suffered,  either  upon  pretence  of  religion  or  infidelity,  to  offer  any  indignity,  violence, 
abuse,  or  injury  to  any  other  person  whatsoever ;  and  to  take  order  that  all  religious 
and  ecclesiastical  assemblies  be  held  without  molestation  or  disturbance. 

It  is  the  duty  of  people  to  pray  for  magistrates,  to  honour  their  persons,  to  pay 
them  tribute  and  other  dues,  to  obey  their  lawful  commands,  and  to  be  subject  to 
their  authority,  for  conscience  sake.  Infidelity,  or  difference  in  religion,  doth  not 
make  void  the  magistrate's  just  and  legal  authority,  nor  free  the  people  from  their 
due  obedience  to  him ;  from  which  ecclesiastical  persons  are  not  exempted ;  much 
less  hath  the  Pope  any  power  or  jurisdiction  over  them  in  their  dominions,  or  over 
any  of  their  people ;  and  least  of  all  to  deprive  them  of  their  dominions  or  lives,  if 
he  shall  judge  them  to  be  heretics,  or  upon  any  other  pretence  whatsoever. 

24.  Of  Marriage  and  Divorce. — Marriage  is  to  be  between  one  man  and  one  wo- 
man, neither  is  it  lawful  for  any  man  to  have  more  than  one  wife,  nor  for  any 
woman  to  have  more  than  one  husband  at  the  same  time. 

Marriage  was  ordained  for  the  mutual  help  of  husband  and  wife ;  for  the  increase 
of  mankind  with  a  legitimate  issue,  and  of  the  Church  with  an  holy  seed ;  and  for 
preventing  of  uncleanness. 

It  is  lawful  for  all  sorts  of  people  to  marry  who  are  able  with  judgment  to  give 
their  consent,  yet  it  is  the  duty  of  Christians  to  marry  only  in  the  Lord.  And, 
therefore,  such  as  profess  the  true  reformed  religion  should  not  marry  with  Infidels, 
Papists,  or  other  idolaters ;  neither  should  such  as  are  godly  be  unequally  3roked,  by 
marrying  with  such  as  are  notoriously  wicked  in  their  life,  or  maintain  damnable 
heresies. 

Marriage  ought  not  to  be  within  the  degrees  of  consanguinity  or  affinity  forbidden 
in  the  word ;  nor  can  such  incestuous  marriages  ever  be  made  lawful  by  any  law  of 
man,  or  consent  of  parties,  so  as  those  persons  may  live  together  as  man  and  wife. 
The  man  may  not  marry  any  of  his  wife's  kindred  nearer  in  blood  than  he  may  of 
his  own,  nor  the  woman  of  her  husband's  kindred  nearer  in  blood  than  of  her  own. 

Adultery  or  fornication,  committed  after  a  contract,  being  detected  before  mar- 
riage, giveth  just  occasion  to  the  innocent  party  to  dissolve  that  contract.  In  the 
case  of  adultery  after  marriage,  it  is  lawful  for  the  innocent  party  to  sue  out  a  di- 
vorce, and  after  the  divorce  to  marry  another,  as  if  the  offending  party  were  dead. 

Although  the  corruption  of  man  be  such,  as  is  apt  to  study  arguments  unduly  to 
put  asunder  those  whom  God  hath  joined  together  in  marriage;  yet  nothing  but 
adultery,  or  such  wilful  desertion  as  can  no  way  be  remedied  by  the  church  or  civil 
magistrate,  is  cause  sufficient  of  dissolving  the  bond  of  marriage ;  wherein  a  public 
and  orderly  course  of  proceeding  is  to  be  observed ;  and  the  persons  concerned  in  it 
not  left  to  their  own  wills  and  discretion  in  their  own  case. 

25.  Of  the  Church. — The  catholic,  or  universal  church,  which  is  invisible,  consists 
of  the  whole  number  of  the  elect,  that  have  been,  are,  or  shall  be  gathered  into  one, 
under  Christ  the  head  thereof;  and  is  the  spouse,  the  body,  the  fulness  of  him  that 
filleth  all  in  all. 

The  visible  church,  which  is  also  catholic  or  universal  under  the  gospel  (not  con- 
fined to  one  nation,  as  before  under  the  law),  consists  of  all  those  throughout  the 
world,  that  profess  the  true  religion,  together  with  their  children  ;  and  is  the  king- 


186  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

dom  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  house  and  family  of  God,  out  of  which  there  is  no 
ordinary  possibility  of  salvation. 

Unto  this  catholic  visible  church,  Christ  hath  given  the  ministry,  oracles,  and  or- 
dinances of  God,  for  the  gathering  and  perfecting  of  the  saints,  in  this  life,  to  the  end 
of  the  world ;  and  doth  by  his  own  presence  and  spirit,  according  to  his  promise, 
make  them  effectual  thereunto. 

This  catholic  church  hath  been  sometimes  more,  sometimes  less,  visible.  And 
particular  churches,  which  are  members  thereof,  are  more  or  less  pure,  according  as 
the  doctrine  of  the  gospel  is  taught  and  embraced,  ordinances  administered,  and 
public  worship  performed  more  or  less  purely  in  them. 

The  purest  churches  under  heaven  are  subject  both  to  mixture  and  error ;  and 
some  have  so  degenerated  as  to  become  no  churches  of  Christ,  but  synagogues  of 
Satan.  Nevertheless,  there  shall  be  always  a  church  on  earth  to  worship  God  ac- 
cording to  his  will, 

There  is  no  other  head  of  the  church  but  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  Nor  can  the  Pope 
of  Rome  in  any  sense  be  the  head  thereof;  but  is  that  antichrist,  that  man  of  sin, 
and  son  of  perdition,  that  exalteth  himself,  in  the  church,  against  Christ,  and  all  that 
is  called  God. 

26.  Of  the  Communion  of  Saints. — All  saints  that  are  united  to  Jesus  Christ  their 
head,  by  his  Spirit  and  by  faith,  have  fellowship  with  him  in  his  graces,  sufferings, 
death,  resurrection,  aud  glory ;  and,  being  united  to  one  another  in  love,  they  have 
communion  in  each  other's  gifts  and  graces,  and  are  obliged  to  the  performance  of 
such  duties,  public  and  private,  as  do  conduce  to  their  mutual  good,  both  in  the  in- 
ward and  outward  man. 

Saints,  by  profession,  are  bound  to  maintain  an  holy  fellowship  and  communion  in 
the  worship  of  God,  and  in  performing  such  other  spiritual  services  as  tend  to  their 
mutual  edification ;  as  also  in  relieving  each  other  in  outward  things,  according  to 
their  several  abilities  and  necessities.  Which  communion,  as  God  offereth  opportu- 
nity, is  to  be  extended  unto  all  those  who,  in  every  place,  call  upon  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus. 

This  communion,  which  the  saints  have  with  Christ,  doth  not  make  them  in  any 
wise  partakers  of  the  substance  of  his  Godhead,  or  to  be  equal  with  Christ  in  any 
respect;  either  of  which  to  affirm  is  impious  and  blasphemous.  Nor  doth  their 
communion  one  with  another,  as  saints,  take  away,  or  infringe  the  title  or  property 
which  each  man  hath  in  his  goods  and  possessions. 

27.  Of  the  Sacraments. — Sacraments  are  holy  signs  and  seals  of  the  covenant  of 
grace,  immediately  instituted  by  God,  to  represent  Christ  and  his  benefits,  and  to 
confirm  oui»  interest  in  him ;  as  also  to  put  a  visible  ditference  between  those  that 

mg  unto  the  church,  and  the  rest  of  the  world ;  and  solemnly  to  engage  them  to 
the  service  of  God  in  Christ,  according  to  his  word. 

There  is  in  ever}r  sacrament  a  spiritual  relation  or  sacramental  union,  between  the 
sign  and  the  thing  signified  ;  whence  it  comes  to  pass,  that  the  names  and  effects  of 
the  one  are  attributed  to  the  other. 

The  grace  which  is  exhibited  in  or  by  the  sacraments,  rightly  used,  is  not  con- 
l'i  rred  by  any  power  in  them:  neither  doth  the  efficacy  of  a  sacrament  depend  upon 
the  piety  or  intention  of  him  that  doth  administer  it,  but  upon  the  work  of  the 
Spirit,  and  the  word  of  institution,  which  contains,  together  with  a  precept  author- 
izing the  use  thereof,  a  promise  of  benefit  to  worthy  receivers. 

There  be  only  two  sacraments  ordained  by  Christ  our  Lord  in  the  Gospel,  that  is 
ay,  Baptism  and  the  Supper  of  the  Lord;  neither  of  which  may  be  dispensed  by 
any,  but  by  a  minister  of  the  word  lawfully  ordained. 

The  sacraments  of  the  Old  Testament,  in  regard  of  the  spiritual  things  thereby 
signified  and  exhibited,  were,  for  substance,  the  same  with  those  of  the  New. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  187 

28.  Of  Baptism. — Baptism  is  a  sacrament  of  the  New  Testament,  ordained  by 
Jesus  Christ,  not  only  for  the  solemn  admission  of  the  party  baptized  into  the  visi- 
ble church,  but  also  to  be  unto  him  a  sign  and  seal  of  the  covenant  of  grace,  of  his 
ingrafting  into  Christ,  of  regeneration,  of  remission  of  sins,  and  of  his  giving  up  un- 
to God,  through  Jesus  Christ,  to  walk  in  newness  of  life ;  which  sacrament  i 
by  Christ's  own  appointment,  to  be  continued  in  his  church  until  the  end  of  the 
world. 

The  outward  element  to  be  used  in  this  sacrament  is  water,  wherewith  the  party 
is  to  be  baptized  ia  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
by  a  minister  of  the  gospel,  lawfully  called  thereunto. 

Dipping  of  the  person  into  water  is  not  necessary  ;  but  baptism  is  rightly  admin- 
istered by  pouring  or  sprinkling  water  upon  the  person. 

Not  only  those  that  do  actually  profess  faith  in  and  obedience  unto  Christ,  but 
also  the  infants  of  one  or  both  believing  parents  are  to  be  baptized. 

Although  it  be  a  great  sin  to  contemn  or  neglect  this  ordinance,  yet  grace  and  sal- 
vation are  not  so  inseparabty  annexed  unto  it,  as  that  no  person  can  be  regenerated 
or  saved  without  it,  or  that  all  that  are  baptized  are  undoubtedly  regenerated. 

The  efficacy  of  baptism  is  not  tied  to  that  moment  of  time  wherein  it  is  adminis- 
tered,- yet,  notwithstanding,  by  the  right  use  of  this  ordinance  the  grace  promised 
is  not  only  offered,  but  really  exhibited  and  conferred  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  to  such 
(whether  of  age  or  infants)  as  that  grace  belongeth  unto,  according  to  the  counsel  of 
God's  own  will,  in  his  appointed  time. 

The  sacrament  of  baptism  is  but  once  to  be  administered  to  any  person. 

29.  Of  the  Lord's  Siqyper. — Our  Lord  Jesus,  in  the  night  wherein  he  was  be- 
trayed, instituted  the  sacrament  of  his  body  and  blood,  called  the  Lord's  Supper,  to 
be  observed  in  his  church  unto  the  end  of  the  world:  for  the  perpetual  remembrance 
of  the  sacrifice  of  himself  in  his  death,  the  sealing  all  benefits  thereof  unto  true  be- 
lievers, their  spiritual  nourishment  and  growth  in  him,  their  further  engagement  in 
and  to  all  duties  which  they  owe  unto  him ;  and  to  be  a  bond  and  pledge  of  their 
communion  with  him.  and  with  each  other,  as  members  of  his  mystical  body. 

In  this  sacrament,  Christ  is  not  offered  up  to  his  Father,  nor  any  real  sacrifice 
made  at  all,  for  remission  of  sins  of  the  quick  or  dead ;  but  only  a  commemoration 
of  that  one  offering  up  of  himself  by  himself,  upon  the  cross  once  for  all,  and  a 
spiritual  oblation  of  all  possible  praise  unto  God  for  the  same ;  so  that  the  popish 
sacrifice  of  the  mass,  as  they  call  it,  is  most  abominably  injurious  to  Christ's  one 
only  sacrifice,  the  alone  propitiation  for  all  the  sins  of  the  elect. 

The  Lord  Jesus  hath,  in  this  ordinance,  appointed  his  ministers  to  declare  his  word 
of  institution  to  the  people,  to  pray,  and  bless  the  elements  of  bread  and  wine,  and 
thereby  to  set  them  apart  from  a  common  to  an  holy  use;  and  to  take  aud  break 
the  bread,  to  take  the  cup,  and  (they  communicating  also  themselves)  to  give 
both  to  the  communicants ;  but  to  none  who  are  not  then  present  in  the  congrega- 
tion. 

Private  masses,  or  receiving  this  sacrament  hy  a  priest  or  any  other  alone ;  as 
likewise  the  denial  of  the  cup  to  the  people ;  worshipping  the  elements,  the  lifting 
them  up,  or  earning  them  about  for  adoration,  and  the  reserving  them  for  any  pre- 
tended religious  use,  are  all  contrary  to  the  nature  of  this  sacrament,  and  to  the  in- 
stitution of  Christ. 

The  outward  elements  in  this  sacrament,  duly  set  apart  to  the  uses  ordained  by 
Christ,  have  such  relation  to  him  crucified,  as  that  truly,  yet  sacramentally  only, 
they  are  sometimes  called  by  the  name  of  the  things  they  represent,  to  wit,  the  body 
and  blood  of  Christ ;  albeit,  in  substance  and  nature,  they  still  remain  truly  and  only 
bread  and  wine,  as  they  were  before. 

That  doctrine  which  maintains  a  change  of  the  substance  of  bread  and  wine,  into 


188  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

the  substance  of  Christ's  body  and  blood  (commonly  called  transubstantiation)  by 
consecration  of  a  priest,  or  by  any  other  way,  is  repugnant,  not  to  Scripture  alone, 
but  even  to  common  sense  and  reason ;  overthroweth  the  nature  of  the  sacrament ; 
and  hath  been,  and  is,  the  cause  of  manifold  superstitions,  yea  of  gross  idolatries. 

Worthy  receivers,  outwardly  partaking  of  the  visible  elements  in  this  sacrament, 
do  then  also  inwardly  by  faith,  really  and  indeed,  yet  not  carnally  and  corporally, 
but  spiritually,  receive  and  feed  upon  Christ  crucified,  and  all  benefits  of  his  death : 
the  body  and  blood  of  Christ  being  then  not  corporally  or  carnally  in,  with,  or  under 
the  bread  and  wine  •  yet  as  really,  but  spiritually,  present  to  the  faith  of  believers  in 
that  ordinance,  as  the  elements  themselves  are  to  their  outward  senses. 

Although  ignorant  and  wicked  men  receive  the  outward  elements  in  this  sacra- 
ment, yet  they  receive  not  the  thing  signified  thereby ;  but,  by  their  unworthy  com- 
ing thereunto,  are  guilty  of  the  body  and  blood  of  the  Lord,  to  their  own  damnation. 
Wherefore  all  ignorant  and  ungodly  persons,  as  they  are  unfit  to  enjoy  communion 
with  him,  so  are  they  unworthy  of  the  Lord's  table,  and  cannot,  without  great  sin 
against  Christ,  while  they  remain  such,  partake  of  these  holy  mysteries,  or  be  ad- 
mitted thereunto. 

30.  Of  Church  Censures. — The  Lord  Jesus,  as  king  and  head  of  his  church,  hath 
therein  appointed  a  government,  in  the  hand  of  church-officers,  distinct  from  the  civil 
magistrate. 

To  these  officers .  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven  are  committed,  by  virtue 
whereof  they  have  power  respectively  to  retain  and  remit  sins,  to  shut  that  kingdom 
against  the  impenitent,  both  by  the  word  and  censures ;  and  to  open  it  unto  peni- 
tent sinners,  by  the  ministry  of  the  gospel,  and  by  absolution  from  censures,  as  oc- 
casion shall  require. 

Church  censures  are  necessary  for  the  reclaiming  and  gaining  of  offending  breth- 
ren ;  for  deterring  of  others  from  like  offences  ;  for  purging  out  of  that  leaven  which 
might  infect  the  whole  lump  ;  for  vindicating  the  honor  of  Christ,  and  the  holy  pro- 
fession of  the  gospel ;  and  for  preventing  the  wrath  of  God,  which  might  justly  fall 
upon  the  church,  if  they  should  suffer  his  covenant,  and  the  seals  thereof,  to  be  pro- 
faned by  notorious  and  obstinate  offenders. 

For  the  better  attaining  of  these  ends,  the  officers  of  the  church  are  to  proceed 
by  admonition,  suspension  from  the  sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper  for  a  season,  and 
by  excommunication  from  the  church,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  crime,  and  de- 
merit of  the  person. 

Of  Synods  and  Councils. — For  the  better  government  and  further  edification  of  the 
Church,  there  ought  to  be  such  assemblies  as  are  commonly  called  Synods  or  Councils : 
and  it  belongeth  to  the  overseers  and  other  rulers  of  the  particular  churches,  by  vir- 
tue of  their  office  and  the  power  which  Christ  hath  given  them,  for  edification,  and 
not  for  destruction,  to  appoint  such  assemblies ;  and  to  convene  together  in  them,  as 
often  as  they  shall  judge  it  expedient  for  the  good  of  the  church. 

It  belongeth  to  Synods  and  Councils  ministerially,  to  determine  controversies  of 
faith,  and  cases  of  conscience ;  to  set  down  rules  and  directions  for  the  better  ordering 
of  the  public  worship  of  God  and  government  of  his  church;  to  receive  complaints 
in  cases  of  maladministration,  and  authoritatively  to  determine  the  same  ;  which  de- 
crees and  determinations,  if  consonant  to  the  word  of  God,  are  to  be  received  with 
reverence  and  submission,  not  only  for  their  agreement  with  the  word,  but  also  for 
the  power  whereby  they  are  made,  as  being  an  ordinance  of  God,  appointed  thereunto 
in  his  word. 

All  Synods  or  Councils  since  the  Apostles'  times,  whether  general  or  particular, 
may  err,  and  many  have  erred;  therefore  they  are  not  to  be  made  the  rule  of  faith  or 
practice,  but  to  be  used  as  a  help  in  both. 

Synods  and  Councils  are  to  handle  or  conclude  nothing  but  that  which  is  ecclesi- 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  189 

astical:  and  are  not  to  intermeddle  with  civil  affairs  which  concern  the  commonwealth, 
unless  by  way  of  humble  petition  in  cases  extraordinary;  or  by  way  of  advice  for 
satisfaction  of  conscience,  if  they  be  thereunto  required  by  the  civil  magistrate. 

Of  the  State  of  Men  after  Death,  and  of  the  Resurrection  of  the  Dead. — The  bodies 
of  men,  after  death,  return  to  dust,  and  see  corruption ;  but  their  souls  (which 
neither  die  nor  sleep),  having  an  immortal  subsistence,  immediately  return  to  God  who 
gave  them.  The  souls  of  the  righteous,  being  then  made  perfect  in  holiness,  are  re- 
ceived into  the  highest  heavens,  where  they  behold  the  face  of  God  in  light  and 
glory,  waiting  for  the  full  redemption  of  their  bodies ;  and  the  souls  of  the  wicked 
are  cast  into  hell,  where  they  remain  in  torments  and  utter  darkness,  reserved  to  the 
judgment  of  the  great  day,  Besides  these  two  places  for  souls,  separate  from  their 
bodies,  the  Scripture  acknowledgeth  none. 

At  the  last  day,  such  as  are  found  alive  shall  not  die,  but  be  changed :  and  aU  the 
dead  shall  be  raised  up  with  the  self- same  bodies,  and  none  other,  although  with 
different  qualities,  which  shall  be  united  again  to  their  souls  for  ever. 

The  bodies  of  the  unjust  shall,  by  the  power  of  Christ,  be  raised  to  dishonor ;  the 
bodies  of  the  just,  by  his  Spirit,  unto  honor,  and  be  made  conformable  to  his  own  glo- 
rious body. 

Of  the  Last  Judgment. — God  hath  appointed  a  day,  wherein  he  will  judge  the 
world  in  righteousness  by  Jesus  Christ,  to  whom  all  power  and  judgment  is  given  of 
the  Father.  In  which  day,  not  only  the  apostate  angels  shall  be  judged,  but  likewise 
all  persons  that  have  lived  on  earth,  shall  appear  before  the  tribunal  of  Christ,  to 
give  an  account  of  their  thoughts,  words,  and  deeds;  and  to  receive  according  to  what 
they  have  done  in  the  body,  whether  good  or  evil. 

The  end  of  God?s  appointing  this  day  is  for  the  manifestation  of  the  glory  of  his 
mercy  in  the  eternal  salvation  of  the  elect ;  and  of  his  justice  in  the  damnation  of  the 
reprobate,  who  are  wicked  and  disobedient,  For  then  shall  the  righteous  go  into 
everlasting  life,  and  receive  that  fulness  of  joy  and  refreshing  which  shall  come  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord :  but  the  wicked,  who  know  not  God,  and  obey  not  the  gos- 
pel of  Jesus  Christ,  shall  be  cast  into  eternal  torments,  and  be  punished  with  ever- 
lasting destruction  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord.  a>nd  from  the  glory  of  his  power. 

As  Christ  would  have  us  to  be  certainly  persuaded  that  there  shall  be  a  day  of 
judgment,  both  to  deter  all  men  from  sin,  and  for  the  greater  consolation  of  the  godly 
in  their  adversity :  so  will  he  have  that  day  unknown  to  men,  that  they  may  shake 
off  all  carnal  security,  and  be  always  watchful,  because  they  know  not  at  what  hour 
the  Lord  will  come ;  and  may  be  ever  prepared  to  say,  Come,  Lord  Jesus,  come 
quickly.     Amen. 


PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH— (NEW    SCHOOL.) 

The  origin  of  this  branch  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  it  is  thought,  may  be  traced, 
by  the  careful  observer,  back  prior  to  the  existence  of  the  church  itself  in  this  coun- 
try, and  was  the  moral  outgrowth  of  the  fraternal  union  of  the  Presbyterian  and 
Congregational  denominations  of  Great  Britain  in  1639,  which  union  sent  over  one 
of  their  number,  the  Rev.  Francis  McKemie,  of  the  North  of  Ireland,  to  preach  the 
Gospel  in  the  new  settlements,  where  he  had  previously  laboured  with  apostolic  zeal. 
An  Irishman,  with  a  great,  generous,  trusting  heart,  and  a  devoted  servant  of  Christ, 
he  entered  upon  his  missionary  work  with  characteristic  ardor  and  energy,  and  had 
already  ploughed  deep,  and  harrowed  wide,  when  he  was  joined  by  a  fellow  la- 


190  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

bourer,  the  Rev.  John  Hampton,  of  Scotland,  sent  out  by  the  same  society,  and  who 
had  all  of  McKemie's  untiring  zeal  and  energy,  but  more  of  that  strict,  unbending 
spirit  which,  ever  proud,  watchful,  suspicious,  does  not  yield  one  jot  of  form  or  prin- 
ciple to  time  or  circumstance.  These  deep  characteristic  elements  necessarily  enter- 
ed more  or  less  into  the  congregations  which  grew  up  under  their  respective  hands, 
and,  with  subsequent  causes,  appealing  as  tests  to  these  distinguishing  traits,  gradu- 
ally prepared  the  way  for  that  intermediate  outgrowth  of  sentiment  between 
rigid  Scotch  Presbyterianism  and  mild,  but  no  less  firm  New  England  Congrega- 
tionalism. 

The  first  Presbytery  (see  preceding  article)  was  composed  of  corresponding  ele- 
ments, to  wit.,  a  mixture  of  Irish  (McKemie,  Davis,  and  McNish,)  and  Scotch, 
(Hampton,  Taylor,  and  Wilson,)  with  (in  Andrews)  a  tincture  of  Congregational 
Presbyterianism.  These  were  all  persons  of  strong  individualities,  and,  as  their  la- 
bours conclusively  showed,  the  very  men  to  lay  the  foundation  of  that  broad  super- 
structure which  exerts  so  powerful  an  influence  on  modern  civilization.  Under  this 
moral  combination  of  strong  individualities,  inflexible  Scotch  Presbyterianism,  Irish 
zeal  and  mellow  large-heartedness,  and  mild,  earnest,  but  ever  self-possessed  New 
England  Congregationalism,  the  genius  of  New  School  Presbyterianism  was  silently 
but  steadily  moulding.  The  Irish  element  had  caught  the  spirit  of  the  union  of 
1689;  the  Scotch  had  simply  become  a  party  to  the  union,  without  sacrificing  one 
particle  of  its  own  characteristics. 

In  1724.  the  Scotch  ministers  began  to  bear  their  testimony  against  religious  tole- 
ration. They  desired  to  carry  into  effect  the  system  to  which  they  had  been  accus- 
tomed, in  all  its  strictness,  and  demanded  that  the  entire  system  of  the  Scottish 
Church  be  received  in  the  American  Presbyterian  Church.  This  was  met  with  a 
mild  but  firm  remonstrance  by  a  majority  of  the  American  ministers,  a  few  of  whom, 
however,  carried  beyond  the  bounds  of  discretion,  so  far  forgot  what  was  due  to 
their  own  dignity,  as  to  impeach  the  motives  and  the  Christian  integrity  of  their 
Scottish  brethren,  while  others  displayed  more  of  the  character  of  church  politicians 
than  of  Christian  ministers.  The  controversy  waxed  warmer  and  sharper,  but  at 
length  subsided  with  the  adopting  act  of  1729,  which,  introduced  at  a  lull  in  the 
tempest,  fell  on  the  hearts  of  the  silent  but  defiant  disputants  like  oil  upon  a  stormy 
sea.  The  peroration  of  that  act  was  so  full  of  the  sentiment  that  subdues  indivi- 
duals and  nations,  that  we  cannot  resist  quoting  it.  It  was  in  these  words  :  ';  And 
the  Synod  do  solemnly  agree  that  none  of  us  will  traduce  or  use  any  opprobious 
terms  towards  those  who  differ  from  us  in  those  extra-essential  and  not  necessary 
points  of  doctrine,  but  treat  them  with  the  same  friendship,  kindness,  and  brotherly 
love,  as  if  nothing  had  happened."  The  storm  went  down  before  these  words,  and 
for  a  time  all  was  charity,  kindly  interest,  and  peace.  But  after  some  years,  there 
was  again  evinced  a  determination  to  enforce,  in  all  their  strictness,  the  rigid  forms 
of  the  Scotch  Church.  The  American  element  resisted,  at  first,  mildly,  then  firmly, 
then  warmly,  till  feeling  rose  on  both  sides,  first  to  a  crisis,  then  to  a  collision,  when 
the  Synod  divided,  the  "  old  side"  standing  as  before,  the  "  new"  erecting  them- 
selves into  a  new  Synod,  the  Synod  of  New  York.  They  remained  separated  fif- 
teen years,  when  noble  spirits,  in  both  Synods,  succeeded  in  effecting  a  reconciliation 
and  re-union  under  the  title  of  the  Synod  of  New  York  and  Philadelphia. 

In  1796,  eight  years  alter  the  reunion,  another  element  entered  into  the  combina- 
tion. In  that  year  the  Synod  proposed  a  convention  of  delegates  of  the  pastors  of 
the  Congregational,  Consociated  and  Presbyterian  Churches  in  North  America.  This 
convention,  held  annually  lor  ten  years,  when  it  was  interrupted  by  the  Revolution, 
did  much  towards  fostering  a  liberal  and  generous  spirit,  and  in  making  and  cement- 
ing friendships  which  could  not  fail  to  exert  a  beneficent  influence  upon  the  mass.  In 
1790,  two  years  after  the  organization  of  the  General  Assembly,  that  body,  "being 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  191 

peculiarly  desirous  to  renew  and  strengthen  every  bond  of  union  between  brethren  so 
nearly  agreed  in  doctrine  and  forms  of  worship  as  the  Presbyterian  and  Congrega- 
tional Churches  evidently  are,  do  resolve  that  the  Congregational  churches  of  New 
England  be  invited  to  renew  this  annual  convention  with  the  clergy  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church."  This  resolution,  so  fraternal  in  its  spirit,  led  to  the  memorable  Plan 
of  Union,  whose  operation  is  traced  out  in  the  preceding  article  (see  Presbyterian 
Church,  Old  School).  The  sudden'  and  rapid  multiplication  of  churches  consequent 
upon  the  union  of  the  two  denominations,  and  the  extraordinarily  wide-spread 
awakening  accompanying  it  was,  as  might  be  expected,  attended  by  certain  irregu- 
larities, of  which  the  history  of  every  revival  furnishes  too  many.  These  did  not 
escape  the  sharp  eyes  of  the  Old  Schoolists,  who  converted  them  into  weapons  for 
assailing  the  revival  itself,  which  they  did  not  hesitate  to  pronounce  a  delusion.  The 
New  Schoolists  rose  up  in  indignation  at  the  charge,  which  brought  back  in  all  their 
force,  all  the  old  prejudices  and  ill  feelings  which  it  was  thought  had  been  forever 
dissipated.  The  old  party,  however,  would  not  retreat.  On  the  contrary,  they  in- 
sisted upon  order,  in  its  strictest  sense,  and  sternly  demanded  the  bringing  to  trial 
of  every  church  that  walked  with  the  least  irregularity,  and  of  every  presbytery  that 
did  not  exact  the  strictest  account  from  its  churches.  Sentiments  like  ^these  grate 
harshly  on  generous  and  sensitive  ears.  A  whole  presbytery  went  out,  while  in 
many  that  remained  was  slowly  gathering  that  rebellious  feeling  which,  in  the  state, 
the  church,  and  minor  societies,  invariably  finds  its  vent  in  revolution. 

The  fraternal  spirit  of  the  original  union  of  1689,  which  had  been  breathed  by  the 
Irish  missionaries,  and  by  them  communicated  to  the  churches  they  had  gathered, 
contributed  to  by  the  Congregational  Presbyterianism  of  New  England,  perpetuated, 
deepened  and  widened  by  the  fraternal  Plan  of  Union  of  1801,  and  the  great  awaken- 
ing attending  the  latter,  had  now  been  moulded  into  form,  and  was  beginning  to 
show  itself  instinct  with  life. 

Two  missionary  societies — the  Domestic  Missionary  Society,  and  another  under 
the  General  Assembly — the  former  an  independent,  and  purely  voluntary  association, 
had  for  some  time  been  laboring  in  the  settlements  on  the  western  frontiers,  when, 
at  the  suggestion  of  certain  liberal  friends  of  missions,  the  former  was  merged  into 
the  American  Home  Missionary,  which  in  influence  and  success  speedily  left  the 
Assembly's  society  far  behind.  To  this  society,  the  Congregationalists  and  the  new 
school  Presbyterians  contributed  with  a  liberality  that  gave  to  them  a  corresponding 
popularity.  The  plan  of  union,  too,  was  having  another  moral  effect :  it  was  im- 
pressing its  fraternal  spirit  upon  the  churches,  with  whom  the  "new  side"  party 
was  every  day  and  everywhere,  in  the  East  and  West,  growing  more  and  more 
popular.  To  sum  up,  in  proportion  to  their  respective  numbers,  the  contributions  of 
the  new  school  party  to  the  pulpit  and  to  benevolence,  far  exceeded  those  of  the  old 
side,  while  the  growth,  in  ministers,  churches,  and  numbers,  was  chiefly  with  the 
former,  and  it  became  evident  that  that  party  was  steadily  ascending  to  the  control- 
ling influence. 

As  before  observed,  the  rapid  advance  of  the  church  was  here  and  there  attended 
with  certain  irregularities  in  form  and  alleged  errors  in  doctrine,  which  the  old  school 
now  felt  it  necessary  not  merely  to  notice,  but  to  notice  with  an  exacting  strictness 
that  should  serve  as  a  warning  to  all  the  churches.  The  Rev.  George  Duffield,  of 
Carlisle ;  the  Rev.  Albert  Barnes,  of  Philadelphia  ;  and  the  Rev.  Lyman  Beecher,  of 
Cincinnati,  were  arraigned  for  heresy,  and  a  demand  made  for  their  deposition  from 
the  ministry.  The  trials  of  these  men  each  created  a  stir  that  penetrated  to  every 
society  in  the  church.  That  of  Albert  Barnes  in  particular,  brought  out  with  greater 
distinctness  than  ever  the  doctrinal  differences  of  the  contending  parties,  and  their 
respective  sentiments  as  to  voluntary  benevolent  associations,  and  the  operations  of 
fraternity  with  other  denominations.     It  drew  the  lines,  too,  respecting  liberality  in

doctrine  and  discipline  with  a  tightness  which,  considering  the  spirit  that  had  been 
silently  leavening  the  church  since  the  nnion  of  1689  in  Great  Britain,  and  that  which 
had  entered  into  men  since  the  Kevolution,  could  have  but  one  result.  While  this 
was  foreseen  by  old  school  men,  they  did  not  hesitate  to  prepare  for  and  precipitate 
the  crisis.  Assuming  for  their  motto  and  actuating  impulse,  Purity  of  Doctrine  and 
Strict  Order  in  Discipline,  they  took  up  their  position,  intent  upon  a  struggle  they 
determined  should  be  decisive.  Two  parties  had  been  in  the  church  long  enough, 
and  they  were  resolved  that  thenceforth  there  should  be  but  one,  and  that  one  them- 
selves. They  had  carefully  taken  their  precautions,  were  entrenched  and  compact  at 
every  point,  and  united.  The  opposition,  on  the  whole,  had  the  advantage  in  num- 
bers, but  were  deficient  in  their  preparations.  They  lacked  organization,  unity,  and, 
beside,  were  wanting  in  that  resolute  spirit  of  contention  which  in  conflict  strives 
only  for  victory  Many  wanted  heart  to  oppose  brethren  whose  principles  they  re- 
spected and  whose  natures  they  loved.  Nevertheless,  as  a  body,  they  approached 
to  the  struggle.  It  was  brief,  but  sharp  and  definitive.  The  conflict  over,  a  long, 
broad,  straight  line  ran  between  them.  They  were  divided.  The  genius  of  New- 
Schoolism  had  taken  full  form,  and  now  stood  up,  drawing  vigorous  breaths,  and 
content,  now  that  it  had  full  life. 

Years  have  flown  since  then,  and  all  traces  of  the  conflict  have  long  since  passed 
away.  Separation  is  better  than  unity,  if  unity  is  only  in  name,  and  separated  the 
two  schools  are  in  concord.  Each  is  doing  its  own  good  work,  and  both  feel  that 
1  hey  are  laboring  in  the  same  vineyard  and  for  the  same  approving  smile. 

The  differences  of  doctrine  are  stated  in  the  preceding  article.  In  form  of  govern- 
ment, ecclesiastical  judicatories,  and  church  offices,  they  are,  on  all  points,  alike. 
There  is  an  important  difference,  however,  in  their  benevolent  operations.  In  the 
Old  School  body,  these  are  carried  On  through  ecclesiastical  Boards,  constituted  by, 
and  accountable  to,  the  General  Assembly.  The  New  School  churches  co-operate 
with  the  Congregationalists  in  voluntary  societies,  such  as  the  American  Board  of 
Commissioners  for  Foreign  .Missions,  American  Home  Missionary  Society,  American 
Sunday  School  Union,  American  Tract  Society,  &c,  &c. 

CONFESSION   OF    FAITH. — PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH,    (NEW   SCHOOL.) 

1 .  Of  the  Holy  Scripture. — Although  the  light  of  nature,  and  the  works  of  creation 
and  providence,  do  so  far  manifest  the  goodness,  wisdom,  and  power  of  God,  as  to 
leave  men  inexcusable ;  yet  are  they  not  sufficient  to  give  the  knowledge  of  God,  and 
of  his  will,  which  is  necessary  unto  salvation.  Therefore  it  pleased  the  Lord, 
at  sundry  times,  and  in  divers  maimers,  to  reveal  himself,  and  to  declare  that  his 
will  unto  his  church;  and  afterwards  for  the  better  preserving  and  propagating 
of  the  truth,  and  for  the  more  sure  establishment  and  comfort  of  the  church  against 
the  corruption  of  the  flesh,  and  the  malice  of  Satan  and  the  world,  to  commit  the 
same  wholly  unto  writing ;  which  maketh  the  Holy  Scripture  to  be  most  necessary ; 
those  former  ways  of  God's  revealing  his  will  unto  his  people  being  now  ceased. 

Under  the  name  of  Holy  Scripture,  or  the  word  of  God  written,  are  now  contained 
all  the  books  of  the  Old  and  New  Testament,  which  are  these  : 

Of  the  Old  Testament. — Genesis,  Exodus,  Leviticus,  Numbers,  Deuteronomy,  Joshua, 
Judges,  Ruth,  I.  Samuel,  II.  Samuel,  I.  Kings,  II.  Kings,  I.  Chronicles,  II.  Chroni- 
cles, Ezra,  Nehemiah,  Esther,  Job,  Psalms,  Proverbs,  Ecclesiastes,  The  Song  of  Songs, 
Isaiah,  Jeremiah,  Lamentations,  Ezekiel,  Daniel,  Hosea,  Joel,  Amos,  Obadiah,  Jonah, 
Micah,  Nahum,  Habakkuk,  Zephaniah,  Haggai,  Zechariah,  Malachi. 

Of  the  New  Testament. — The  Gospels  according  to  Matthew,  Mark,  Luke,  John,  The 
Acts  of  the  Apostles,  Paul's  Epistles  to  the  Romans,  I.  Corinthians,  II.  Corinthians, 
Galatians,  Ephesians,  Philippians,  Colossians,   I.  Thessalonians,  II.  Thessalonians,  I. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  193 

To  Timothy,  II.  To  Timothy,  To  Titus,  To  Philemon,  The  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews, 
The  Epistle  of  James,  The  first  and  second  Epistles  of  Peter,  The  first,  second,  and 
third  Epistles  of  John,  The  Epistle  of  Jude,  The  Revelation. 

All  which  are  given  by  inspiration  of  God,  to  be  the  rule  of  faith  and  life. 

The  books  commonly  called  Apochrypha,  not  being  of  divine  inspiration,  are  no 
part  of  the  canon  of  the  Scripture ;  and  therefore  are  of  no  authority  in  the  church  of 
God,  nor  to  be  any  otherwise  approved,  or  made  use  of,  than  other  human  writings. 

The  authority  of  the  Holy  Scripture,  for  which  it  ought  to  be  believed  and  obeyed, 
dependeth  not  upon  the  testimony  of  any  man,  or  church,  but  wholly  upon  God, 
(who  is  truth  itself,)  the  author  thereof;  and  therefore  it  is  to  be  received,  because  it 
is  the  word  of  God. 

We  may  be  moved  and  induced  by  the  testimony  of  the  church  to  an  high  and 
reverent  esteem  of  the  Holy  Scripture.  And  the  heavenliness  of  the  matter,  the  effi- 
cacy of  the  doctrine,  the  majesty  of  the  style,  the  consent  of  all  the  parts,  the  scope 
of  the  whole,  (which  is  to  give  all  glory  to  God,)  the  full  discovery  it  makes  of  the 
only  way  of  man's  salvation,  the  many  other  incomparable  excellencies,  and  the  en- 
tire perfection  thereof,  are  arguments  whereby  it  doth  abundantly  evidence  itself  to 
be  the  word  of  God ;  yet,  notwithstanding,  our  full  persuasion  and  assurance  of  the 
infallible  truth,  and  divine  anthority  thereof,  is  from  the  inward  work  of  the  Holy 
Spirit,  bearing  witness  by  and  with  the  word,  in  our  hearts. 

The  whole  counsel  of  God,  concerning  all  things  necessary  for  his  own  glory,  man's 
salvation,  faith,  and  life,  is  either  expressly  set  down  in  Scripture,  or  by  good  and 
necessary  consequence  may  be  deduced  from  Scripture  ;  unto  which  nothing  at  any- 
time is  to  be  added,  whether  by  new  revelations  of  the  Spirit,  or  traditions  of  men. 
Nevertheless,  we  acknowledge  the  inward  illumination  of  the  Spirit  of  God  to  be 
necessary,  for  the  saving  understanding  of  such  things  as  are  revealed  in  the  word ; 
and  that  there  are  some  circumstances  concerning  the  worship  of  God,  and  govern- 
ment of  the  church,  common  to  human  actions  and  societies,  which  are  to  be  ordered 
by  the  light  of  nature,  and  Christian  prudence,  according  to  the  general  rules  of  the 
word,  which  are  always  to  be  observed. 

All  things  in  Scripture  are  not  alike  plain  in  themselves,  nor  alike  clear  unto  all ; 
yet,  those  things  which  are  necessary  to  be  known,  believed,  and  observed,  for  salva- 
tion, are  so  clearly  propounded  and  opened  in  some  place  of  Scripture  or  other,  that 
not  only  the  learned,  but  the  unlearned,  in  a  due  use  of  the  ordinary  means,  may 
attain  unto  a  sufficient  understanding  of  them. 

The  Old  Testament  in  Hebrew,  (which  was  the  native  language  of  the  people  of 
God  of  old,)  and  the  New  Testament  in  Greek,  which  at  the  time  of  the  writing  of  it 
was  most  generally  known  to  the  nations,)  being  immediately  inspired  by  God,  and 
by  his  singular  care  and  providence  kept  pure  in  all  ages,  are  therefore  authentical ; 
so  as,  in  all  controversies  of  religion,  the  church  is  finally  to  appeal  unto  them.  But, 
because  these  original  tongues  are  not  known  to  all  the  people  of  God,  who  have 
right  unto,  and  interest  in  the  Scriptures,  and  are  commanded,  in  the  fear  of  God,  to 
read  and  search  them,  therefore  they  are  to  be  translated  into  the  vulgar  language  of 
every  nation  unto  which  they  come,  that  the  word  of  God  dwelling  plentifully  in  all, 
they  may  worship  him  in  an  acceptable  manner;  and,  through  patience  and  comfort 
of  the  Scriptures,  may  have  hope. 

The  infallible  rule  of  interpretation  of  Scripture  is  the  Scripture  itself;  and,  there- 
fore, when  there  is  a  question  about  the  true  and  full  sense  of  any  Scripture,  (which 
is  not  manifold,  but  one,)  it  must  be  searched  and  known  by  other  places  that  speak 
more  clearly. 

The  Supreme  Judge,  by  which  all  controversies  of  religion  are  to  be  determined, 
and  all  decrees  of  councils,  opinions  of  ancient  writers,  doctrines  of  men,  and  private

spirits,  are  to  be  examined,  and  in  whose  sentence  we  are  to  rest,  can  be  no  other 
but  the  Holy  Spirit  speaking  in  the  Scripture. 

2.  Of  God  and  of  (lie,  Holy  Trinity. — There  is  but  one  only  living  and  true  God, 
who  is  infinite  in  being  and  perfection,  a  most  pure  spirit,  invisible,  without  body, 
parts,  or  passions,  immutable,  immense,  eternal,  incomprehensible,  almighty,  most 
wise,  most  holy,  most  free,  most  absolute,  working  all  things  according  to  the  counsel 
of  his  own  immutable  and  most  righteous  will,  for  his  own  glory ;  most  loving, 
gracious,  merciful,  long-suffering,  abundant  in  goodness  and  truth,  forgiving  iniquity, 
transgression,  and  sin ;  the  rewarder  of  them  that  diligently  seek  him ;  and  withal 
most  just  and  terrible  in  his  judgments ;  hating  all  sin,  and  who  will  by  no  means 
clear  the  guilt}'. 

God  hath  all  life,  glory,  goodness,  blessedness,  in  and  of  himself;  and  is  alone  in 
and  unto  himself  all-sufficient,  not  standing  in  need  of  any  creatures  which  he  hath 
made,  nor  deriving  any  glory  from  them,  but  only  manifesting  his  own  glory,  in,  by, 
unto,  and  upon  them ;  he  is  the  alone  fountain  of  all  being,  of  whom,  through  whom, 
and  to  whom,  are  all  things,  and  hath  most  sovereign  dominion  over  them,  to  do  by 
them,  for  them,  or  upon  them,  whatsoever  himself  pleaseth.  In  his  sight  all  things 
are  open  and  manifest ;  his  knowledge  is  infinite,  infallible,  and  independent  upon 
the  creature,  so  as  nothing  is  to  him  contingent  or  uncertain.  He  is  most  holy  in  all 
his  counsels,  in  all  his  works,  and  in  all  his  commands.  To  him  is  clue  from  all  angels 
and  men,  and  every  other  creature,  whatsoever  worship,  service,  or  obedience,  he  is 
pleased  to  require  of  them. 

In  the  unity  of  the  Godhead  there  be  three  persons,  of  one  substance,  power,  and 
eternity ;  God  the  Father,  God  the  Son,  and  God  the  Holy  Ghost.  The  Father  is 
of  none,  neither  begotten,  nor  proceeding ;  the  Son  is  eternally  begotten  of  the  Fa- 
ther ;  the  Holy  Ghost  eternally  proceeding  from  the  Father  and  the  Son. 

3.  Of  God's  Eternal  Decree. — God  from  all  eternity  did,  by  the  most  wise  and  holy 
counsel  of  his  own  will,  freely  and  unchangeably  ordain  whatsoever  comes  to  pass  ; 
yet  so  as  thereby  neither  is  God  the  author  of  sin,  nor  is  violence  offered  to  the  will 
of  the  creatures,  nor  is  the  liberty  or  contingency  of  second  causes  taken  away,  but 
rather  established. 

Although  God  knows  whatsoever  may  or  can  come  to  pass  upon  all  supposed  con- 
ditions, yet  hath  he  not  decreed  anything  because  he  foresaw  it  as  future,  or  as  that 
which  would  come  to  pass  upon  such  conditions. 

By  the  decree  of  God,  for  the  manifestation  of  his  glory,  some  men  and  angels  are 
predestinated  unto  everlasting  life,  and  others  fore-ordained  to  everlasting  death. 

These  angels  and  men,  thus  predestinated  and  fore-ordained,  are  particularly  and 
unchangeably  designed  ;  and  their  number  is  so  certain  and  definite,  that  it  cannot 
be  either  increased  or  diminished. 

Those  of  mankind  that  are  predestinated  unto  life,  God,  before  the  foundation  of 
the  world  was  laid,  according  to  his  eternal  and  immutable  purpose,  and  the  secret 
counsel  and  good  pleasure  of  his  will,  hath  chosen,  in  Christ,  unto  everlasting  glory, 
out  of  his  mere  free  grace  and  love,  without  any  foresight  of  faith,  or  good  works,  or 
perseverance  in  either  of  them,  or  any  other  thing  in  the  creature,  as  conditions,  or 
causes  moving  him  thereunto  ;  and  all  to  the  praise  of  his  glorious  grace, 

As  God  hath  appointed  the  elect  unto  glory,  so  hath  he,  by  the  eternal  and  most 
free  purpu.se  of  his  will,  fore-ordained  all  the  means  thereunto.  Wherefore  they  who 
are  elected,  being  fallen  in  Adam,  are  redeemed  by  Christ,  are  effectually  called  unto 
faith  in  Christ,  by  his  Spirit  working  in  due  season  ;  are  justified,  adopted,  sanctified, 
and  kept  by  his  power  through  faith  unto  salvation.  Xeither  are  any  other  redeemed 
by  Christ,  effectually  called,  justified,  adopted,  sanctified,  and  saved,  but  the  elect 
only. 

The  rest  of  mankind  God  was  pleased,  according  to  the  unsearchable  counsel  of 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  195 

his  own  will,  whereby  he  extendeth  or  withholdeth  mercy,  as  he  pleaseth,  for  the 
glory  of  his  sovereign  power  over  his  creatures,  to  pass  by,  and  to  ordain  them  to 
dishonor  and  wrath  for  their  sin,  to  the  praise  of  his  glorious  justice. 

The  doctrine  of  this  high  mystery  of  predestination  is  to  be  handled  with  special 
prudence  and  care,  that  men^  attending  the  will  of  God  revealed  in  his  word,  and 
yielding  obedience  thereunto,  may,  from  the  certainty  of  their  effectual  vocation,  be 
assured  of  their  eternal  election."  So  shall  this  doctrine  afford  matter  of  praise,  re- 
verence, and  admiration  of  God ;  and  of  humility,  diligence,  and  abundant  consolation 
to  all  that  sincerely  obey  the  gospel. 

4.  Of  Creation. — It  pleased  God,  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost,  for  the  manifes- 
tation of  the  glory  of  his  eternal  power,  wisdom  and  goodness,  in  the  beginning,  to 
create,  or  make  of  nothing,  the  world,  and  all  things  therein,  whether  visible  or  in- 
visible, in  the  space  of  six  clays,  and  all  very  good. 

After  God  had  made  all  other  creatnres,  he  created  man,  male  and  female,  with 
reasonable  and  immortal  souls,  endued  with  knowledge,  righteousness,  and  true  ho- 
liness, after  his  own  image,  having  the  law  of  God  written  in  their  hearts,  and  power 
to  fulfill  it ;  and  yet  under  a  possibility  of  transgressing,  being  left  to  the  liberty  of 
their  own  will,  which  was  subject  unto  change.  Beside  this  law  written  in  their 
hearts,  they  received  a  command,  not  to  eat  of  the  tree  of  the  knowledge  of  good 
and  evil ;  which  while  they  kept,  they  were  happy  in  their  communion  with  God, 
and  had  dominion  over  the  creatures. 

5.  Of  Providence. — God,  the  great  Creator  of  all  things,  doth  uphold,  direct,  dis" 
pose,  and  govern  all  creatures,  actions,  and  things,  from  the  greatest  even  to  the  least, 
by  his  most  wise  and  holy  providence,  according  to  his  infallible  foreknowledge,  and 
the  free  and  immutable  counsel  of  his  own  will,  to  the  praise  of  the  glory  of  his  wis- 
dom, power,  justice,  goodness  and  mercy. 

Although,  in  relation  to  the  foreknowledge  and  decree  of  God,  the  first  Cause,  all 
things  come  to  pass  immutably  and  infallibly,  yet,  by  the  same  providence,  he  ordereth 
them  to  fall  out,  according  to  the  nature  of  second  causes,  either  necessarily,  freely, 
or  contingently. 

God,  in  his  ordinary  providence,  maketh  use  of  means,  yet  is  free  to  work  without, 
above,  and  against  them,  at  his  pleasure. 

The  almighty  power,  unsearchable  wisdom,  and  infinite  goodness  of  God  so  far 
manifest  themselves  in  his  providence,  that  it  extendeth  itself  even  to  the  first  fall, 
and  all  other  sins  of  angels  and  men,  and  that  not  by  a  bare  permission,  but  such  as 
hath  joined  with  it  a  most  wise  and  powerful  bounding,  and  otherwise  ordering  and 
governing  of  them,  in  a  manifold  dispensation,  to  his  own  holy  ends ;  yet  so,  as  the 
sinfulness  thereof  proceedeth  only  from  the  creature,  and  not  from  God,  who  being 
most  holy  and  righteous,  neither  is,  nor  can  be,  the  author  or  approver  of  sin. 

The  most  wise,  righteous,  and  gracious  God  doth  oftentimes  leave  for  a  season  his 
own  children  to  manifold  temptations,  and  the  corruption  of  their  own  hearts,  to  chas- 
tise them  for  their  former  sins,  or  to  discover  unto  them  the  hidden  strength  of  cor- 
ruption, and  deceitfulness  of  their  hearts,  that  they  may  be  humbled ;  and  to  raise 
them  to  a  more  close  and  constant  dependence  for  their  support  upon  himself,  and  to 
make  them  more  watchful  against  all  future  occasions  of  sin,  and  for  sundry  other 
just  and  holy  ends. 

As  for  those  wicked  and  ungodly  men,  whom  God,  as  a  righteous  judge,  for  former 
sins,  doth  blind  and  harden,  from  them  he  not  only  withholdeth  his  grace,  whereby 
they  might  have  been  enlightened  in  their  understandings,  and  wrought  upon  in 
their  hearts ;  but  sometimes  also  withdraweth  the  gifts  which  they  had,  and  exposeth 
them  to  such  objects  as  their  corruption  makes  occasion  of  sin;  and  withal,  gives 
them  over  to  their  own  lusts,  the  temptations  of  the  world,  and  the  power  of  Satan ; 


196  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

whereby  it  comes  to  pass  that  they  harden  themselves,  even  under  those  means  which 
God  useth  for. the  softening;  of  others. 

As  the  providence  of  God  doth,  in  general,  reach  to  all  creatures,  so,  after  a  most 
special  manner,  it  taketh  care  of  his  church,  and  disposeth  all  things  to  the  good 
thereof. 

6.  Of  the  Fall  of  Man,  of  Sin,  and  of  the  Punishment  thereof. — Our  first  parents,  being 
seduced  by  the  subtilty  and  temptation  of  Satan,  sinned  in  eating  the  forbidden  fruit. 
This  their  sin  God  was  pleased,  according  to  his  wise  and  holy  counsel,  to  permit, 
having  purposed  to  order  it  to  his  own  glory. 

By  this  sin  they  fell  from  their  original  righteousness  and  communion  with  God, 
and  so  became  dead  in  sin,  and  wholly  defiled  in  all  the  faculties  and  parts  of  soul 
and  body. 

They  being  the  root  of  all  mankind,  the  guilt  of  this  sin  was  imputed,  and  the  same 
death  in  sin,  and  corrupted  nature,  conveyed  to  all  their  posterity  descending  from 
them  by  ordinary  generation. 

Prom  this  original  corruption,  whereby  we  are  utterly  indisposed,  disabled,  and 
made  opposite  to  all  good,  and  wholly  inclined-  to  ah  evil,  do  proceed  all  actual  trans- 
gressions. 

This  corruption  of  nature,  during  this  life,  doth  remain  in  those  that  are  regener- 
ated ;  and  although  it  be,  through  Christ,  pardoned  and  mortified,  yet  both  itself,  and 
all  the  motions  thereof,  are  truly  and  properly  sin. 

Every  sin,  both  original  and  actual,  being  a  transgression  of  the  righteous  law  of 
God,  and  contrary  thereunto,  doth,  in  its  own  nature,  bring  guilt  upon  the  sinner, 
whereby  he  is  bound  over  to  the  wrath  of  God,  and  curse  of  the  law,  and  so  made 
subject  to  death,  with  all  miseries,  spiritual,  temporal,  and  eternal. 

7.  Of  God's  Covenant  with  Mom. — The  distance  between  God  and  the  creature  is  so 
great,  that  although  reasonable  creatures  do  owe  obedience  unto  him  as  their  Creator, 
yet  they  could  never  have  any  fruition  of  him  as  their  blessedness  and  reward,  but 
by  some  voluntary  condescension  on  God's  part,  which  he  hath  been  pleased  to  ex- 
press by  way  of  covenant. 

The  first  covenant  made  with  man  was  a  covenant  of  "Works,  wherein  life  was 
promised  to  Adam,  and  in  him  to  his  posterity,  'upon  condition  of  perfect  and  per- 
sonal obedience. 

Man  by  'his  fall,  having  made  himself  incapable  of  life  by  that  covenant,  the  Lord 
was  pleased  to  make  a  second,  commonly  called  the  covenant  of  Grace ;  wherein  he 
freely  offereth  unto  sinners  life  and  salvation  by  Jesus  Christ,  requiring  of  them  faith 
in  him,  that  they  may  be  saved,  and  promising  to  give,  unto  all  those  that  are  or- 
dained unto  life,  his  Holy  Spirit,  to  make  them  willing  and  able  to  believe. 

This  covenant  of  grace  is  frequently  set  forth  in  the  Scripture  by  the  name  of  a 
testament,  in  reference  to  the  death  of  Jesus  Christ,  the  testator,  and  to  the  ever- 
lasting inheritance,  with  all  things  belonging  to  it,  therein  bequeathed. 

This  covenant  was  differently  administered  in  the  time  of  the  law,  and  in  the  time 
of  the  gospel ;  under  the  law  it  was  administered  by  promises,  prophecies,  sacrifices, 
circumcision,  the  paschal  lamb,  and  other  types  and  ordinances,  delivered  to  the 
people  of  the  Jews,  all  fore-signifying  Christ  to  come,  which  were,  for  that  time, 
sufficient  and  efficacious,  through  the  operation  of  the  Spirit,  to  instruct  and  build  up 
the  elect  in  faith  in  the  promised  Messiah,  by  whom  they  had  full  remission  of  sins, 
and  eternal  salvation ;  and  is  called  the  Old  Testament. 

Under  the  gospel,  when  Christ,  the  substance,  was  exhibited,  the  ordinances  in 
which  this  covenant  is  dispensed,  are  the  preaching  of  the  word,  and  the  adminis- 
tration of  the  sacraments  of  Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper ;  which,  though  fewer 
in  number,  and  administered  with  more  simplicity,  and  less  outward  glory,  yet  in 
them  it  is  held  forth  in  more  fullness,  evidence,  and  spiritual  efficacy,  to  all  nations, 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  197 

both  Jews  and  Gentiles;  and  is  called  the  New  Testament.  There  are  not,  there- 
fore,  two  covenants  of  grace,  differing  in  substance,  but  one  and  the  same  under 
various  dispensations. 

8.  Of  Christ  the  Mediator. — It  pleased  God,  in  his  eternal  purpose,  to  choose  and 
ordain  the  Lord  Jesus,  his  only-begotten  Son,  to  be  the  mediator  between  God  and 
man ;  the  prophet,  priest,  and  king ;  the  head  and  saviour  of  his  church,  the  heir  of 
all  things,  and  judge  of  the  world :  unto  whom  he  did,  from  all  eternity,  give  a  peo- 
ple to  be  his  seed,  and  to  be  by  him  in  time  redeemed,  called,  justified,  sanctified, 
and  glorified. 

The  Son  of  God,  the  second  person  in  the  Trinity,  being  very  and  eternal  God,  of 
one  substance,  and  equal  with  the  Father,  did,  wrhen  the  fullness  of  time  was  come, 
take  upon  him  man's  nature,  with  all  the  essential  properties  and  common  infirmi- 
ties thereof,  yet  without  sin :  being  conceived  by  the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  in 
the  womb  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  of  her  substance.  So  that  two  whole,  perfect,  and 
distinct  natures,  the  Godhead  and  the  manhood,  were  inseparably  joined  together  in 
one  person,  without  conversion,  composition,  or  confusion.  Which  person  is  very 
God,  and  very  man,  yet  one  Christ,  the  only  mediator  between  God  and  man. 

The  Lord  Jesus,  in  his  human  nature  thus  united  to  the  divine,  was  sanctified  and 
anointed  with  the  Holy  Spirit  above  measure ;  having  in  him  all  the  treasures  of 
wisdom  and  knowledge,  in  whom  it  pleased  the  Father  that  all  fullness  should  dwell : 
to  the  end  that  being  holy,  harmless,  undefiled,  and  full  of  grace  and  truth,  he  might 
be  thoroughly  furnished  to  execute  the  office  of  a  mediator  and  surety.  Which  office 
he  took  not  unto  himself,  but  was  thereunto  called  by  his  Father,  who  put  all  power 
and  judgment  into  his  hand,  and  gave  him  commandment  to  execute  the  same. 

This  office  the  Lord  Jesus  did  most  willingly  undertake :  wdiich  that  he  might  dis- 
charge, he  was  made  under  the  law,  and  did  perfectly  fulfill  it ;  endured  most  griev- 
ous torments  immediately  in  his  soul,  and  most  painful  sufferings  in  his  body ;  was 
crucified,  and  died ;  was  buried,  and  remained  under  the  power  of  death :  yet  saw 
no  corruption.  On  the  third  day  he  rose  from  the  dead,  with  the  same  body  in 
which  he  suffered ;  writh  which  also  he  ascended  into  heaven,  and  there  sitteth  at 
the  right  hand  of  his  Father,  making  intercession ;  and  shall  return  to  judge  men 
and  angels  at  the  end  of  the  world. 

The  Lord  Jesus,  by  his  perfect  obedience  and  sacrifice  of  himself,  which  he  through 
the  eternal  spirit  once  offered  up  unto  God,  hath  fully  satisfied  the  justice  of  his  Fa- 
ther; and  purchased,  not  only  reconciliation,  but  an  everlasting  inheritance  in  the 
kingdom  of  heaven,  for  all  those  whom  the  Father  hath  given  unto  him. 

Although  the  work  of  redemption  was  not  actually  wrought  by  Christ  till  after 
his  incarnation,  yet  the  virtue,  efficacy,  and  benefits  thereof,  were  communicated 
unto  the  elect  in  all  ages  successively  from  the  beginning  of  the  world,  in  and  by 
those  promises,  types,  and  sacrifices,  wherein  he  was  revealed,  and  signified  to  be 
the  seed  of  the  woman,  which  should  bruise  the  serpent's  head,  and  the  Lamb  slain 
from  the  beginning  of  the  world,  being  yesterday  and  to-day,  the  same  and  forever. 

Christ,  in  the  work  of  mediation,  acteth  according  to  both-  natures ;  by  each  na- 
ture doing  that  which  is  proper  to  itself;  yet  by  reason  of  the  unity  of  the  person, 
that  which  is  proper  to  one  nature,  is  sometimes,  in  Scripture,  attributed  to  the  per- 
son denominated  by  the  other  nature. 

To  all  those  for  whom  Christ  hath  purchased  redemption,  he  doth  certainly  and 
effectually  apply  and  communicate  the  same,  making  intercession  for  them,  and  re- 
vealing unto  them,  in  and  by  the  word,  the  mysteries  of  salvation ;  effectually  per- 
suading them,  by  his  Spirit,  to  believe  and  obey ;  and  governing  their  hearts,  by  his 
word  and  Spirit ;  overcoming  all  their  enemies  by  his  almighty  power  and  wisdom, 
in  such  manner  and  ways  as  are  most  consonant  to  his  wonderful  and  unsearchable 
dispensation. 


193  AMERICAN*   CHRISTIAN*   RECORD. 

9.  Of  Free  Will. — God  hath  indued  the  will  of  man  with  that  natural  liberty,  that 
it  is  neither  forced,  nor  by  any  absolute  necessity  of  nature  determined  to  good  or 
evil. 

Man,  in  his  state  of  innocency,  had  freedom  and  power  to  will  and  to  do  that  which 
is  good  and  well-pleasing  to  God ;  but  yet  mutably,  so  that  he  might  fall  from  it. 

Man,  by  his  fall  into  a  state  of  sin,  hath  wholly  lost  all  ability  of  will  to  any  spir- 
itual good  accompanying  salvation ;  so  as  a  natural  man,  being  altogether  averse 
from  that  good,  and  dead  in  sin,  is  not  able,  by  his  own  strength,  Jto  convert  himself, 
or  to  prepare  himself  thereunto. 

When  God  converts  a  sinner,  and  translates  him  into  the  state  of  grace,  he  freeth 
him  from  his  natural  bondage  under  sin,  and  by  his  grace  alone  enables  him  freely 
to  will  and  to  do  that  which  is  spiritually  good ;  yet  so,  as  that,  by  reason  of  his  re- 
maining corruption,  he  doth  not  perfectly,  nor  only,  will  that  which  is  good,  but  doth 
also  will  that  which  is  evil. 

The  will  of  a  man  is  made  perfectly  and  immutably  free  to  good  alone,  in  the  state 
of  glory  only. 

10.  Of  Effectual  Calling. — All  those  whom  God  has  predestinated  unto  life,  and 
those  only,  he  is  pleased,  in  his  appointed  and  accepted  time,  effectually  to  call,  by 
his  word  and  Spirit,  out  of  that  state  of  sin  and  death,  in  which  they  are  by  nature, 
to  grace  and  salvation  by  Jesus  Christ ;  enlightening  their  minds,  spiritually  and 
savingly,  to  understand  the  things  of  God,  taking  away  their  heart  of  stone,  and 
giving  unto  them  a  heart  of  flesh ;  renewing  their  wills,  and  by  his  almighty  jjower 
determining  them  to  that  which  is  good ;  and  effectually  drawing  them  to  Jesus 
Christ ;  yet  so  as  they  come  most  freely,  being  made  willing  by  his  grace. 

This  effectual  call  is  of  God's  free  and  special  grace  alone,  not  from  any  thing  at 
all  foreseen  in  man,  who  is  altogether  passive  therein,  until,  being  quickened  and  re- 
newed by  the  Holy  Spirit,  he  is  thereby  enabled  to  answer  this  call,  and  to  embrace 
the  grace  offered  and  conveyed  in  it. 

Elect  infants,  dying  in  infancy,  are  regenerated  and  saved  by  Christ  through  the 
Spirit,  who  worketh  when,  and  where,  and  how  he  pleaseth.  So  also  are  all  other 
elect  persons  who  are  incapable  of  being  outwardly  called  by  the  ministry  of  the 
word. 

Others,  not  elected,  although  they  may  be  called  by  the  ministry  of  the  word,  and 
may  have  some  common  operations  of  the  Spirit,  yet  they  never  truly  come  to  Christ. 
and,  therefore,  cannot  be  saved ;  much  less  can  men,  not  professing  the  Christian  re- 
ligion, be  saved  in  any  other  way  whatsoever,  be  they  never  so  diligent  to  frame 
their  lives  according  to  the  light  of  nature,  and  the  law  of  that  religion  they  do  pro- 
fess ;  and  to  assert  and  maintain  that  they  may  is  very  pernicious,  and  to  be  detested. 

11.  Of  Justification. — Those  whom  God  effectually  calleth,  he  also  freely  justitieth ; 
not  by  infusiug  righteousness  into  them,  but  by  pardoning  their  sins,  and  by  account- 
ing and  accepting  their  persons  as  righteous ;  not  for  any  thing  wrought  in  them,  or 
done  by  them,  but  for  Christ's  sake  alone;  not  by  imputing  faith  itself,  the  act  of 
believing,  or  any  other  evangelical  obedience  to  them,  as  their  righteousness ;  but  by 
imputing  the  obedience  and  satisfaction  of  Christ  unto  them,  they  receiving  and  rest- 
ing on  him  and  his  righteousness  by  faith ;  which  faith  they  have,  not  of  themselves, 
it  is  the  gift  of  God. 

Faith,  "thus  receiving  and  resting  on  Christ  and  his  righteousness,  is  the  alone 
instrument  of  justification;  yet  is  it  not  alone  in  the  person  justified,  but  is 
ever  accompanied  with  all  other  saving  graces,  and  is  no  dead  faith,  but  worketh  by 
love. 

Christ,  by  his  obedience  and  death,  did  fully  discharge  the  debt  of  all  those  that 
are  thus  justified,  and  did  make  a  proper,  real  and  full  satisfaction  to  his  Father's 
justice  in  their  behalf.     Yet,   inasmuch  as  he  was  given  by  the  Father  for  them,  and 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN*   RECORD.  199 

his  obedience  and  satisfaction  accepted  in  their  stead,  and  both  freely,  not  for  any- 
thing in  them,  their  justification  is  only  of  free  grace ;  that  both  the  exact  justice, 
and  rich  grace  of  God,  might  be  glorified  in  the  justification  of  sinners. 

God  did,  from  all  eternity,  decree-  to  justify  all  the  elect ;  and  Christ  did,  in  the 
fullness  of  time,  die  for  their  sins,  and  rise  again  for  their  justification  ;  nevertheless, 
they  are  not  justified,  until  the  Holy  Spirit  doth,  in  due  time,  actually  apply  Christ 
unto  them. 

God  doth  continue  to  forgive  the  sins  of  those  that  are  justified ;  and,  although 
they  can  never  fall  from  the  state  of  justification,  yet  they  may,  by  their  sins,  fall 
under  God's  fatherly  displeasure,  and  not  have  the  light  of  his  countenance  restored 
unto  them,  until  they  humble  themselves,  confess  their  sins,  beg  pardon,  and  renew 
their  faith  and  repentance. 

The  justification  of  believers  under  the  Old  Testament  was,  in  all  these  respects, 
one  and  the  same  with  the  justification  of  believers  under  the  New  Testament. 

12.  Of  Adoption. — All  those  that  are  justified,  God  vouchsafeth,  in  and  for  his 
only  Son  Jesus  Christ,  to  make  partakers  of  the  grace  of  adoption,  by  which  they 
are  taken  into  the  number,  and  enjoy  the  liberties  and  privileges  of  the  children  of 
God ;  have  his  name  put  upon  them ;  receive  the  spirit  of  adoption  ;  have  access  to 
the  throne  of  grace  with  boldness ;  are  enabled  to  cry  Abba,  Father ;  are  pitied, 
protected,  provided  for,  and  chastened  by  him  as  by  a  father ;  yet  never  cast  off,  but 
sealed  to  the  day  of  redemption,  and  inherit  the  promises,  as  heirs  of  everlasting 
salvation. 

13.  Of  Sanctification. — They  who  are  effectually  called  and  regenerated,  having  a 
new  heart  and  a  new  spirit  created  in  them,  are  farther  sanctified,  really  and  per- 
sonally, through  the  virtue  of  Christ's  death  and  resurrection,  by  his  word  and  spirit 
dwelling  in  them ;  the  dominion  of  the  whole  body  of  sin  is  destroyed,  and  the 
several  lusts  thereof  are  more  and  more  weakened  and  mortified,  and  they  more 
and  more  quickened  and  strengthened,  in  all  saving  graces,  to  the  practice  of  true 
holiness,  without  which  no  man  shall  see  the  Lord. 

This  sanctification  is  throughout  in  the  whole  man,  yet  imperfect  in  this  life ;  there 
abideth  still  some  remnants  of  corruption  in  every  part,  whence  ariseth  a  continual 
and  irreconcileable  war,  the  flesh  lusting  against  the  spirit,  and  the  spirit  against  the 
flesh. 

In  which  war,  although  the  remaining  corruption  for  a  time  may  much  prevail, 
yet,  through  the  continual  supply  of  strength  from  the  sanctifying  spirit  of  Christ, 
the  regenerate  part  doth  overcome  ;  and  so  the  saints  grow  in  grace,  perlectin"-  holi- 
ness in  the  fear  of  God. 

14.  Of  Saving  Faith. — The  grace  of  faith,  whereby  the  elect  are  enabled  to  believe 
to  the  saving  of  their  souls,  is  the  work  of  the  Spirit  of  Christ  in  their  hearts  ;  and  is 
ordinarily  wrought  by  the  ministry  of  the  word  ;  by  which  also,  and  by  the  adminis- 
tration of  the  sacraments,  and  prayer,  it  is  increased  and  strengthened. 

By  this  faith,  a  Christian  believeth  to  be  true,  whatsoever  is  revealed  in  the  word, 
for  the  authority  of  God  himself  speaking  therein  ;  and  acteth  differently,  upon  that 
which  each  particular  passage  thereof  containeth ;  yielding  obedience  to  the  com- 
mands, trembling  at  the  threatnings,  and  embracing  the  promises  of  God  for  this  life, 
and  that  which  is  to  come.  But  the  principal  acts  of  saving  faith  are,  accepting,  re- 
ceiving, and  resting  upon  Christ  alone  for  justification,  sanctification,  and  eternal  life, 
by  virtue  of  the  covenant  of  grace. 

This  faith  is  different  in  degrees,  weak  or  strong ;  may  be  often  and  many  ways 
assailed  and  weakened,  but  gets  the  victory ;  growing  up  in  many  to  the  attainment 
of  a  full  assurance  through  Christ,  who  is  both  the  author  and  finisher  of  our  faith. 

15.  Of  Repentance  unto  Life. — Repentance  unto  life  is  an  evangelical  grace,  the  doc- 


200  AMERICAS   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

trine  whereof  is  to  be  preached  by  every  minister  of  the  gospel,  as  well  as  that  of 
faith  in  Christ. 

By  it  a  sinner,  out  of  the  sight  and  sense,  not  only  of  the  danger,  but  also  of  the 
fllthiness  and  odiousness  of  his  sins,  as  contrary  to  the  holy  nature  and  righteous  law 
of  God,  and  upon  the  apprehension  of  his  mercy  in  Christ  to  such  as  are  penitent,  so 
grieves  for,  and  hates  his  sins,  as  to  turn  from  them  all  unto  G-od,  purposing  and 
endeavoring  to  walk  with  him,  in  all  the  ways  of  his  commandments. 

Although  repentance  be  not  to  be  rested  in  as  any  satisfaction  for  sin,  or  any  cause 
of  the  pardon  thereof,  which  is  the  act  of  God's  free  grace  in  Christ ;  yet  is  it  of  such 
necessity  to  all  sinners,  that  none  may  expect  pardon  without  it. 

As  there  is  no  sin  so  small  but  it  deserves  damnation ;  so  there  is  no  sin  so  great, 
that  it  can  bring  damnation  upon  those  who  truly  repent. 

Men  ought  not  to  content  themselves  with  a  general  repentance,  but  it  is  every 
man's  duty  to  endeavor  to  repent  of  his  particular  sins,  particularly. 

As  every  man  is  bound  to  make  private  confession  of  his  sins  to  God,  praying  for 
the  pardon  thereof;  upon  which,  and  the  forsaking  of  them,  he  shall  find  mercy ;  so 
he  that  scandalizeth  his  brother,  or  the  church  of  Christ,  ought  to  be  willing,  by  a 
private  or  public  confession  and  sorrow  for  his  sin,  to  declare  his  repentance  to  those 
that  are  offended  :  who  are  thereupon  to  be  reconciled  to  him,  and  in  love  to  receive 
him. 

16.  Of  Good  ~\Yorks. — Good  works  are  only  such  as  God  hath  commanded  in  his 
holy  word,  and  not  such  as,  without  the  warrant  thereof,  are  devised  by  men  out  of 
blind  zeal,  or  upon  any  pretense  of  good  intention. 

These  good  works,  done  in  obedience  to  God's  commandments,  are  the  fruits  and 
evidence  of  a  true  and  lively  faith :  and  by  thenr  believers  manifest  their  thankful- 
ness, strengthen  their  assurance,  edify  their  brethren,  adorn  the  profession  of  the 
gospel,  stop  the  mouths  of  the  adversaries,  and  glorify  God,  whose  workmanship  they 
are,  created  in  Christ  Jesus  thereunto,  that,  having  their  fruit  unto  holiness,  they 
may  have  the  end,  eternal  life. 

Their  ability  to  do  good  works  is  not  at  all  of  themselves,  but  wholly  from  the 
Spirit  of  Christ.  And  that  they  may  be  enabled  thereunto,  besides  the  graces  they 
have  already  received,  there  is  required  an  actual  influence  of  the  same  Holy  Spirit, 
to  work  in  them  to  will  and  to  do,  of  his  good  pleasure  ;  yet  are  they  not  hereupon 
to  grow  negligent,  as  if  they  were  not  bound  to  perform  any  duty  unless  upon  a  spe- 
cial motion  of  the  Spirit ;  but  they  ought  to  be  diligent  in  stirring  up  the  grace  of 
God  that  is  in  them. 

They,  who  in  their  obedience,  attain  to  the  greatest  height  which  is  possible  in  this 
life,  are  so  far  from  being  able  to  supererogate,  and  to  do  more  than  G  od  requires,  as 
that  they  fall  short  of  much  which  in  duty  they  are  bound  to  do. 

"We  cannot,  by  our  best  works,  merit  pardon  of  sin,  or  eternal  life  at  the  hand  of 
God,  by  reason  of  the  great  disproportion  that  is  between  them  and  the  glory  to 
come,  and  the  infinite  distance  that  is  between  us  and  God,  whom,  by  them,  Ave  can 
neither  profit  nor  satisfy  for  the  debt  of  our  former  sins ;  but  when  we  have  done  all 
we  can,  we  have  done  but  our  duty,  and  are  unprofitable  servants ;  and  because,  as 
they  are  good,  they  proceed  from  his  Spirit ;  and,  as  they  are  wrought  by  us,  they 
are  defiled  and  mixed  with  so  much  weakness  and  imperfection  that  they  cannot  en- 
dure the  severity  of  God's  judgment. 

Yet  notwithstanding,  the  persons  of  believers  being  accepted  through  Christ,  their 
good  works  also  are  accepted  in  him,  not  as  though  they  were  in  this  life  wholly 
unblamable  and  irreprovable  in  God's  sight ;  but  that  he,  looking  upon  them  in  his 
Son,  is  pleased  to  accept  and  reward  that  which  is  sincere,  although  accompanied 
with  many  weaknesses  and  imperfections. 

"Works  done  by  unregenerate  men,  although  for  the  matter  of  them,  they  may  be 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  201 

things  which  G-od  commands,  and  of  good  use  both  to  themselves  and  others ;  yet 
because  they  proceed  not  from  a  heart  purified  by  faith ;  nor  are  done  in  a  right 
manner,  according  to  the  word ;  nor  to  a  right  end,  the  glory  of  God ; .  they  are 
therefore  sinful,  and  cannot  please  God,  or  make  a  man  meet  to  receive  grace  from 
God.     And  yet,  their  neglect  of  them  is  more  sinful  and  displeasing  unto  God. 

17.  Of  the  Perseverance  of  the  Saints. — They,  whom  God  hath  accepted  in  his  Beloved, 
effectually  called  and  sanctified  by  his  Spirit,  can  neither  totally  nor  finally  fall  away 
from  the  state  of  grace ;  but  shall  certainly  persevere  therein  to  the  end,  and  be 
eternally  saved. 

This  perseverance  of  the  saints  depends,  not  upon  their  own  free  will,  but  upon 
the  immutability  of  the  decree  of  election,  flowing  from  the  free  and  unchangeable  love 
of  God  the  Father ;  upon  the  efficacy  of  the  merit  and  intercession  of  Jesus  Christ ; 
the  abiding  of  the  Spirit  and  of  the  seed  of  God  within  them ;  and  the  nature  of 
the  covenant  of  grace ;  from  all  which  ariseth  also  the  certainty  and  infallibility 
thereof. 

Nevertheless,  they  may,  through  the  temptations  of  Satan  and  of  the  world,  the 
prevalence  of  corruption  remaining  in  them,  and  the  neglect  of  the  means  of  their 
preservation,  fall  into  grievous  sins,  and  for  a  time  continue  therein :  whereby  they 
incur  God's  displeasure,  and  grieve  his  Holy  Spirit ;  come  to  be  deprived  of  some 
measure  of  their  graces  and  comforts ;  have  their  hearts  hardened,  and  their  con- 
sciences wounded ;  hurt  and  scandalise  others,  and  bring  temporal  judgment  upon 
themselves. 

18.  Of  the  Assurance  of  Grane  and  Salvation. — Although  hypocrites,  and  other  un- 
regenerate  men,  may  vainly  deceive  themselves  with  false  hopes  and  carnal  pre- 
sumptions of  being  in  the  favor  of  God  and  estate  of  salvation;  which  hope  of  theirs 
shall  perish :  yet  such  as  truly  believe  in  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  love  him  in  sincerity, 
endeavoring  to  walk  in  all  good  conscience  before  him,  may  in  this  life  be  certainly 
assured  that  they  are  in  a  state  of  grace,  and  may  rejoice  in  the  hope  of  the  glory  of 
God;  which  hope  shall  never  make  them  ashamed. 

This  certainly  is  not  a  bare  conjectural  and  probable  persuasion,  grounded  upon  a 
fallible  hope ;  but  an  infallible  assurance  of  faith,  founded  upon  the  divine  truth  of 
the  promises  of  salvation,  the  inward  evidence  of  those  graces  unto  which  these 
promises  are  made,  the  testimony  of  the  Spirit  of  adoption  witnessing  with  our  spirits 
that  we  are  the  children  of  God :  which  Spirit  is  the  earnest  of  our  inheritances, 
whereby  we  are  sealed  to  the  day  of  redemption. 

This  infallible  assurance  doth  not  so  belong  to  the  essence  of  faith,  but  that  a  true 
believer  may  wait  long,  and  conflict  with  many  difficulties  before  he  be  partaker  of 
it ;  yet,  being  enabled  by  the  Spirit  to  know  the  things  which  are  freely  given  him 
of  God,  he  may,  without  extraordinary  revelation,  in  the  right  use  of  ordinary  means, 
attain  thereunto.  And  therefore  it  is  the  duty  of  every  one  to  give  all  diligence  to 
make  his  calling  and  election  sure ;  that  thereby  his  heart  may  be  enlarged  in  peace 
and  joy  in  the  Holy  G-host,  in  love  and  thankfulness  to  God,  and  in  strength  and 
cheerfulness  in  the  duties  of  obedience,  the  proper  fruits  of  this  assurance :  so  far  is 
it  from  inclining  men  to  looseness. 

True  believers  may  have  the  assurance  of  their  salvation  divers  way  shaken,  di- 
minished, and  intermitted ;  as,  by  negligence  in  preserving  of  it ;  by  falling  into  some 
special  sin,  which  woundeth  the  conscience,  and  grieveth  the  Spirit ;  by  some  sud- 
den or  vehement  temptation ;  by  God's  withdrawing  the  light  of  his  countenance, 
and  suffering  even  such  as  fear  him  to  walk  in  darkness,  and  to  have  no  light.  Yet 
are  they  never  utterly  destitute  of  that  seed  of  God,  and  life  of  faith,  that  love  of 
Christ  and  the  brethren,  that  sincerity  of  heart  and  conscience  of  duty  out  of  which, 
by  the  operation  of  the  Spirit,  this  assurance  may  in  due  time  be  revived,  and  by  the 
which,  in  the  mean  time,  they  are  supported  from  utter  despair. 


202  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD, 

19.  Of  the  law  of  God. — God  gave  to  Adam  a  law,  as  a  covenant  of  works,  "by  which 
he  bound  him  and  all  his  posterity  to  personal,  entire,  exact,  and  perpetual  obedi- 
ence ;  promised  life  upon  the  fulfilling,  and  threatened  death  upon  the  breach  of  it ; 
and  endued  him  with  power  and  ability  to  keep  it. 

This  law,  after  his  fall,  continued  to  be  a  perfect  rule  of  righteousness;  and,  as 
such,  was  delivered  by  God  upon  mount  Sinai  in  ten  commandments,  and  written  in 
two  tables ;  the  first  four  commandments  containing  our  duty  towards  God,  and 
the  other  six  our  duty  to  man. 

Besides  this  law,  commonly  called  moral,  God  was  pleased  to  give  to  the  people 
of  Israel,  as  a  church  under  age,  ceremonial  laws,  containing  several  typical  ordi- 
nances, partly  of  worship,  prefiguring  Christ,  his  graces,  actions,  sufferings,  and 
benefits ;  and  partly  holding  forth  divers  instructions  of  moral  duties.  All  which 
ceremonial  laws  are  now  abrogated  under  the  New  Testament. 

To  them  also,  as  a  body  politic,  he  gave  sundry  judicial  laws,  which  expired  to- 
gether with  the  State  of  that  people,  not  obliging  any  other  now,  further  than  the 
general  equity  thereof  may  require. 

The  moral  law  doth  for  ever  bind  all,  as  well  justified  persons  as  others,  to  the 
obedience  thereof ;  and  that  not  only  in  regard  of  the  matter  contained  in  it,  but 
also  in  respect  of  the  authority  of  God  the  Creator  who  gave  it.  Neither  doth  Christ 
in  the  gospel  any  way  dissolve,  but  much  strengthen,  this  obligation. 

Although  true  believers  be  not  under  the  law  as  a  covenant  of  works,  to  be  there- 
by justified  or  condemned;  yet  is  it  of  great  use  to  them,  as  well  as  to  others;  in 
that,  as  a  rule  of  life,  informing  them  of  the  will  of  God  and  their  duty,  it  directs  and 
binds  them  to  walk  accordingly  ;  discovering  also  the  sinful  pollutions  of  their  na- 
ture, hearts,  and  lives  ;  so  as,  examining  themselves  thereby,  they  may  come  to  fur- 
ther conviction  of.  humiliation  for,  and  hatred  against  sin  ;  together  with  a  clearer 
sight  of  the  need  they  have  of  Christ,  and  the  perfection  of  his  obedience.  It  is  like- 
wise of  use  to  the  regenerate,  to  restrain  their  corruptions,  in  that  it  forbids  sin  ;  and 
the  threatenings  of  it  serve  to  show  what  even  their  sins  deserve,  and  what  afflic- 
tions in  this  life  they  may  expect  for  them,  although  freed  from  the  curse  thereof 
threatened  in  the  law.  The  promises  of  it,  in  like  manner,  show  them  God's  appro- 
bation of  obedience,  and  what  blessings  they  may  expect  upon  the  performance 
thereof;  although  not  as  due  to  them  by  the  law  as  a  covenant  of  works :  so  as,  a 
man's  doing  good,  and  refraining  from  evil,  because  the  law  encourageth  to  the  one, 
and  deterreth  from  the  other,  is  no  evidence  of  his  being  under  the  law,  and  not  un- 
der grace. 

Neither  are  the  forementioned  uses  of  the  law  contrary  to  the  grace  of  the  gospel, 
but  do  sweetly  comply  with  it :  the  Spirit  of  Christ  subduing  and  enabling  the  will 
of  man  to  do  that  freely  and  cheerfully,  which  the  will  of  God,  revealed  in  the  law, 
requireth  to  be  done. 

20.  Of  Christian  Liberty,  and  Libert}/  of  Conscience. — The  liberty  which  Christ  hath 
purchased  for  believers  under  the  gospel  consists  in  their  freedom  from  the  guilt  of 
sin,  th-3  condemning  wrath  of  God,  the  curse  of  the  moral  law;  and  in  their  being 
delivered  from  this  present  evil  world,  bondage  to  Satan,  and  dominion  of  sin,  from 
the  evil  of  afflictions,  the  sting  of  death,  the  victory  of  the  grave,  and  everlasting  dam- 
nation ;  as  also  in  their  free  access  to  God,  and  their  yielding  obedience  uuto  him* 
not  out  of  slavish  fear,  but  a  child-like  love,  and  willing  mind.  All  which  were  com- 
mon also  to  believers  under  the  law ;  but  under  the  New  Testament,  the  liberty  of 
Christiana  is  further  enlarged  in  their  freedom  from  the  yoke  of  the  ceremonial  law, 
to  which  the  Jewish  church  was  subjected ;  and  in  greater  boldness  of  access  to  the 
throne  of  grace,  and  in  fuller  communieations  of  the  free  Spirit  of  God,  than  believers 
under  the  law  did  ordinarily  partake  of. 

God  alone  is  Lord  of  the  conscience,  and   hath  left  it  free  from  the  doctrines  and 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  203 

commandments  of  men,  which  are  in  any  thing  contrary  to  his  word,  or  beside  it,  in 
matters  of  faith  or  worship.  So  that  to  believe  such  doctrines,  or  to  obey  such  com- 
mandments  out  of  conscience,  is  to  betray  true  liberty  of  conscience ;  and  the  re- 
quiring an  implicit  faith,  and  an  absolute  and  blind  obedience,  is  to  destroy  liberty  of 
conscience,  and  reason   also. 

They  who,  upon  pretence  of  Christian  liberty,  do  practise  any  sin,  or  cherish  any 
lust,  do  thereby  destroy  the  end  of  Christian  liberty  ;  which  is.  that,  being  delivered 
out  of  the  hands  of  our  enemies,  we  might  serve  the  Lord  without  fear,  in  holiness 
and  righteousness  before  him,  all  the  days  of  our  life. 

And  because  the  powers  which  God  hath  ordained  and  the  liberty  which  Christ 
hath  purchased,  are  not  intended  by  God  to  destroy,  but  mutually  to  uphold  and 
preserve  one  another ;  they  who,  upon  pretence  of  Christian  liberty,  shall  oppose 
any  lawful  power,  or  the  lawful  exercise  of  it,  whether  it  be  civil  or  ecclesiastical, 
resist  the  ordinance  of  God.  And  for  their  publishing  of  such  opinions,  or  maintain* 
ing  of  such  practices,  as  are  contrary  to  the  light  of  nature,  or  to  the  known  prin* 
ciples  of  Christianity,  whether  concerning  faith,  worship,  or  conversation  ;  or  to  the 
power  of  godliness ;  or  such  erroneous  opinions  or  practices,  as,  either  in  their  own 
nature,  or  in  the  manner  of  publishing  or  maintaining  them,  are  destructive  to  the 
external  peace  and  order  which  Christ  hath  established  in  the  church;  they  may 
lawfully  be  called  to  account,  and  proceeded  against  by  the  censures  of  the  church. 

21.  Of  Religious  Worship  and  the  Sabbath-Day. — The  light  of  nature  showeth  that 
there  is  a  God,  who  hath  lordship  and  sovereignty  over  all ;  is  good,  and  doeth  good 
unto  all ;  and  is  therefore  to  be  feared,  loved,  praised,  called  upon,  trusted  in,  and 
served  with  all  the  heart,  and  with  all  the  soul,  and  with  all  the  might.  But  the 
acceptable  way  of  worshipping  the  true  God  is  instituted  by  himself,  and  so  limited 
by  his  own  revealed  will,  that  he  may  not  be  worshipped  according  to  the  imagina- 
tions  and  devices  of  men,  or  the  suggestions  of  Satan,  under  any  visible  representa- 
tion or  any  other  way  not  prescribed  in  the  Holy  Scripture. 

Religious  worship  is  to  be  given  to  God,  the  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost ;  and 
to  him  alone ;  not  to  angels,  saints,  or  any  other  creature ;  and  since  the  fall,  not 
without  a  Mediator,  nor  in  the  mediation  of  any  other  but  of  Christ  alone. 

Prayer  with  thanksgiving,  being  one  special  part  of  religious  worship,  is  by  God 
required  of  all  men;  and  that  it  may  be  accepted,  it  is  to  be  made  in  the  name  of 
the  Son,  by  the  help  of  his  Spirit,  according  to  his  will,  with  understanding,  rever- 
ence, humility,  fervency,  faith,  love,  and  perseverance ;  and,  if  vocal,  in  a  known 
tongue. 

Prayer  is  to  be  made  for  things  lawful,  and  for  all  sorts  of  men  livingj  or  that  shall 
live  hereafter;  but  not  for  the  dead,  nor  for  those  of  whom  it  may  be  known  that 
they  have  sinned  the  sin  unto  death. 

The  reading  of  the  Scriptures  with  godly  fear ;  the  sound  preaching,  and  conscion* 
able  hearing  of  the  word,  in  obedience  unto  God,  with  understanding,  faith,  and 
reverence;  singing  of  psalms  with  grace  in  the  heart;  as,  also,  the  due  administra- 
tion and  worthy  receiving  of  the  sacraments  instituted  by  Christ ;  ore  all  parts  cf 
the  ordinary  religious  worship  of  God ;  besides  religious  oaths,  and  vows,  solemn 
fastings,  and  thanksgivings  upon  special  occasions;  which  are,  in  their  several  times 
and  seasons,  to  be  used  in  an  holy  and  religious  manner. 

Neither  prayer,  nor  any  other  part  of  religious  worship,  is  now,  under  the  gospel, 
either  tied  unto,  or  made  more  acceptable  by  any  place  in  which  it  is  performed,  or 
towards  which  it  is  directed ;  that  God  is  to  be  worshipped  every  where,  in  spirit 
and  in  truth  ;  as  in  private  families,  daily,  and  in  secret  each  one  by  himself,  so  more 
solemnl}'"  in  the  public  assemblies,  which  are  not  carelessly  or  wilfully  to  be  neg- 
lected or  forsaken,  whom  God,  by  his  word  or  providence,  calleth  thereunto. 

As  it  is  of  the  law  of  nature,  that,  in  general,  a  due  proportion  of  time  be  set  apart 


204  AMERICAS*  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

for  the  worship  of  God ;  so,  in  his  word,  by  a  positive,  moral,  and  perpetual  com- 
mandment, binding  all  men  in  all  ages,  he  hath  particularly  appointed  one  day  in 
seven  for  a  Sabbath,  to  be  kept  holy  unto  him ;  which,  from  the  beginning  of  the 
world  to  the  resurrection  of  Christ,  was  the  last  day  of  the  week ;  and,  from  the  resur- 
rection of  Christ,  was  changed  into  the  first  day  of  the  week,  which  in  Scripture  is 
called  the  Lord's  Day,  and  is  to  be  continued  to  the  end  of  the  world,  as  the 
Christian  Sabbath* 

This  Sabbath  is  then  kept  holy  unto  the  Lord,  when  men,  after  a  due  preparing  of 
their  hearts,  and  ordering  of  their  common  affairs  beforehand,  do  not  only  observe  an 
holy  rest  all  the  day  from  their  own  works,  Words  and  thoughts,  about  their  worldly 
employments  and  recreations ;  but  also  are  taken  up  the  whole  time  in  the  public 
and  private  exercises  of  his  worship,  and  in  the  duties  of  necessity  and  mercy. 

22.  Of  Lo,wful  Oaths  and  Vows. — A  lawful  oath  is  a  part  of  religious  worship, 
wherein,  upon  just  occasion,  the  person  swearing,  solemnly  calleth  G-od  to  witness 
what  he  asserteth  or  promiseth,  and  to  judge  him  according  to  the  truth  or  falsehood 
of  what  he  sweareth. 

The  name  of  God  only  is  that  by  which  men  ought  to  swear,  and  therein  it  is  to 
b9  used  with  all  holy  fear  and  reverence ;  therefore,  to  swear  vainly  or  rashly  by 
that  glorious  and  dreadful  name,  or  to  swear  at  all  by  any  other  thing,  is  sinful,  and 
to  be  abhorred.  Yet  as,  in  matters  of  weight  and  moment,  an  oath  is  warranted  by 
the  word  of  God  under  the  New  Testament,  as  well  as  under  the  Old,  so  a  lawful 
oath,  being  imposed  by  lawful  authority,  in  such  matters  ought  to  be  taken. 

"Whosoever  taketh  an  oath  ought  duly  to  consider  the  weightiness  of  so  solemn 
an  act,  and  therein  to  avouch  nothing  but  what  he  is  fully  persuaded  is  the  truth. 
Neither  may  any  man  bind  himself  by  oath  to  any  thing  but  what  is  good  and  just, 
and  what  he  believeth  so  to  be,  and  what  he  is  able  and  resolved  to  perform.  Yet 
it  is  a  sin  to  refuse  an  oath  touching  any  thing  that  is  good  and  just,  being  imposed 
by  lawful  authoritj'. 

An  oath  is  to  be  taken  in  the  plain  and  common  sense  of  the  words,  without  equi- 
vocation or  mental  reservation.  It  cannot  oblige  to  sin;  but  in  anything  not  sinful, 
being  taken,  it  binds  to  performance,  although  to  a  man's  own  hurt ;  nor  is  it  to  be 
violated,  although  made  to  heretics  or  infidels. 

A  vow  is  of  the  like  nature  with  a  promissory  oath,  and  ought  to  be  made  with 
the  like  religious  care,  and  to  be  performed  with  the  like  faithfulness. 

It  is  not  to  be  made  to  any  creature,  but  to  God  alone ;  and  that  it  may  be  ae- 
cepted,  it  is  to  be  made  voluntarily,  out  of  faith,  and  conscience  of  duty,  in  way  of 
thankfulness  for  mercy  received,  or  for  the  obtaining  of  what  we  want;  whereby  we 
more  strictly  bind  ourselves  to  necessary  duties,  or  to  other  things,  so  far  and  so  long 
as  they  may  fitly  conduce  thereunto. 

No  man  may  vow  to  do  any  thing  forbidden  in  the  word  of  God.  or  what  would 
hinder  any  duty  therein  commanded,  or  which  is  not  in  his  own  power,  and  for  the 
performance  whereof  he  hath  no  promise  or  ability  from  God.  In  which  respects, 
popish  monaslical  vows  of  perpetual  single  life,  professed  poverty,  and  regular  obe- 
dience, are  so  far  from  being  degrees  of  higher  perfection,  that  they  are  superstitious 
and  sinful  snares,  in  which  no  Christian  may  entangle  himself. 

23.  Of  (he  Civil  Magistrate, — God,  the  Supreme  Lord  and  King  of  all  the  world, 
hath  ordained  civil  magistrates  to  be  under  him  over  the  people,  for  his  own  glory 
and  the  public  good,  and  to  this  end,  hath  armed  them  with  the  power  of  the  sword, 
for  the  defence  and  encouragement  of  them  that  are  good,  and  for  the  punishment  of 
evil  doers. 

It  is  lawful  for  Christians  to  accept  and  execute  the  office  of  a  magistrate,  when 
called  thereunto;  in  the  managing  whereof,  as  they  ought  especially  to  maintain 
piety,  justice  and  peace,  according  to  the  wholesome  laws  of  each  commonwealth, 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  205 

so,  for  that  end,  they  may  lawfully,  now  under  the  New  Testament,  wage  war  upon 
just  and  necessary  occasions. 

Civil  magistrates  may  not  assume  to  themselves  the  administration  of  the  word  and 
sacraments ;  or  the  power  of  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven ;  or,  in  the  least,  in- 
terfere in  matters  of  faith.  Yet  as  nursing  fathers,  it  is  the  duty  of  civil  magistrates 
to  protect  the  Church  of  our  common  Lord,  without  giving  the  preference  to  any  de- 
nomination of  Christians  above  the  rest,  in  such  a  manner,  that  all  ecclesiastical 
persons  whatever  shall  enjoy  the  full,  free,  and  unquestioned  liberty  of  discharging 
every  part  of  their  sacred  functions,  without  violence  or  danger.  And,  as  Jesus 
Christ  hath  appointed  a  regular  government  and  discipline  in  his  church,  no  law  of 
any  commonwealth  should  interfere  with,  let,  or  hinder,  the  due  exercise  thereof, 
among  the  voluntary  members  of  any  denomination  of  Christians,  according  to  their 
own  profession  and  belief.  It  is  the  duty  of  civil  magistrates  to  protect  the  person 
and  good  name  of  all  their  people,  in  such  an  effectual  manner  as  that  no  person  bo 
suffered,  either  upon  pretence  of  religion  or  infidelity,  to  offer  any  indignity,  violence, 
abuse,  or  injury  to  any  other  person  whatsover ;  and  to  take  order,  that  all  religious 
and  ecclesiastical  assemblies  be  held  without  molestation  or  disturbance. 

It  is  the  duty  of  people  to  pray  for  magistrates,  to  honor  their  persons,  to  pay  them 
tribute  and  other  dues,  to  obey  their  lawful  commands,  and  to  be  subject  to  their 
authority,  for  conscience'  sake.  Infidelity,  or  difference  in  religion,  doth  not  make 
void  the  magistrate's  just  and  legal  authority,  nor  free  the  people  from  their  due 
obedience  to  him ;  from  which  ecclesiastical  persons  are  not  exempted ;  much  less 
hath  the  Pope  any  power  or  jurisdiction  over  them  in  their  dominions,  or  over  any 
of  their  people ;  and  least  of  all  to  deprive  them  of  their  dominions  or  lives,  if  he 
shall  judge  them  to  be  heretics,  or  upon  any  other  pretence  whatsoever. 

24.  Of  Marriage  and  Divorce. — Marriage  is  to  be  between  one  man  and  one  woman ; 
neither  is  it  lawful  for  any  man  to  have  more  than  one  wife,  nor  for  any  woman  to 
have  more  than  one  husband  at  the  same  time. 

Marriage  was  ordained  for  the  mutual  help  of  husband  and  wife ;  for  the  increase 
of  mankind  with  a  legitimate  issue,  and  of  the  Church  with  an  holy  seed ;  and  for 
preventing  of  uncleanness. 

It  is  lawful  for  all  sorts  of  people  to  marry  who  are  able  with  judgment  to  give 
their  consent,  yet  it  is  the  duty  of  Christians  to  marry  only  in  the  Lord.  And,  there- 
fore, such  as  profess  ±he  true  reformed  religion  should  not  marry  with  Infidels,  Pa- 
pists, or  other  idolaters ;  neither  should  such  as  are  godly  be  unequally  yoked,  by 
marrying  with  such  as  are  notoriously  wicked  in  their  life,  or  maintain  damnable 
heresies. 

Marriage  ought  not  to  be  within  the  degrees  of  consanguinity  or  affinity  forbidden 
in  the  word;  nor  can  such  incestuous  marriages  ever  be  made  lawful  by  any  law  of 
man,  or  consent  of  parties,  so  as  those  persons  may  live  together  as  man  and  wife. 
The  man  may  not  marry  any  of  his  wife's  kindred  nearer  in  blood  than  he  may  of 
lus  own,  nor  the  woman  of  her  husband's  kindred  nearer  in  blood  than  of  her  own. 

Adultery  or  fornication,  committed  after  a  contract,  being  detected  before  marriage, 
giveth  just  occasion  to  the  innocent  party  to  dissolve  that  contract.  In  the  case  of 
adultery  after  marriage,  it  is  lawful  for  the  innocent  party  to  sue  out  a  divorce,  and 
after  the  divorce  to  marry  another,  as  if  "the  offending  party  were  dead. 

Although  the  corruption  of  man  be  such,  as  is  apt  to  study  arguments  unduly  to 
put  asunder  those  whom  God  hath  joined  together  in  marriage ;  yet  nothing  but 
adultery,  or  such  wilful  desertion  as  can  no  way  be  remedied  by  the  Church  or  civil 
magistrate,  is  cause  sufficient  of  dissolving  the  bond  of  marriage ;  wherein  a  public 
and  orderly  course  of  proceeding  is  to  be  observed ;  and  the  persons  concerned  in  it 
not  left  to  their  own  wills  and  discretion  in  their  own  case. 

25.  Of  the  Church. — The  catholic  or  universal  Church,  which  is  invisible,  consists 


206  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

of  the  whole  number  of  the  elect,  that  have  been,  are,  or  shall  be  gathered  into  one, 
under  Christ  the  head  thereof;  and  is  the  spouse,  the  body,  the  fullness  of  him  that 
iilleth  all  in  all. 

The  visible  Church,  which  is  also  catholic  or  universal  under  the  gospel  (not  con- 
fined to  one  nation,  as  before  under  the  law),  consists  of  all  those  throughout  the 
world,  that  profess  the  true  religion,  together  with  their  children;  and  is  the  king- 
dom of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  house  and  family  of  God,  out  of  which  there  is  no 
ordinary  possibility  of  salvation. 

Unto  this  catholic  visible  Church,  Christ  hath  given  the  ministry,  oracles,  and  or- 
dinances of  God,  for  the  gathering  and  perfecting  of  the  saints,  in  this  life,  to  the  end 
of  the  world:  and  doth  by  his  own  presence  and  Spirit,  acccording  to  his  promise, 
make  them  effectual  thereunto. 

This  catholic  Church  hath  been  sometimes  more,  sometimes  less,  visible.  And 
particular  churches,  which  are  members  thereof,  are  more  or  less  pure,  according  as 
the  doctrine  of  the  gospel  is  taught  and  embraced,  ordinances  administered,  and  pub- 
lic worship  performed  more  or  less  purely  in  them. 

The  purest  churches  under  heaven  are  subject  both  to  mixture  and  error:  and 
some  have  so  degenerated,  as  to  become  no  churches  of  Christ,  but  synagogues  of 
Satan.  Nevertheless,  there  shall  be  always  a  Church  on  earth,  to  worship  God  ac- 
cording to  his  will. 

There  is  no  other  head  of  the  Church  but  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  Nor  can  the 
Pope  of  Rome  in  any  sense  be  head  thereof;  but  is  that  anti-christ,  that  man  of  sin, 
and  son  of  perdition,  that  exalteth  himself,  in  the  Church,  against  Christ,  and  all  that 
is  called  God. 

26.  Of  Communion  of  Saints. — All  saints  that  are  united  to  Jesus  Christ  their 
head,  by  his  Spirit  and  by  faith,  have  fellowship  with  him  in  his  graces,  sufferings, 
death,  resurrection,  and  glory:  and,  being  united  to  one  another  in  love,  they  have 
communion  in  each  other's  gifts  and  graces,  and  are  obliged  to  the  performance  of 
sucb  duties,  public  and  private,  as  do  conduce  to  their  mutual  good,  both  in  the  iu- 
ward  and  outward  man. 

Saints,  by  profession,  are  bound  to  maintain  an  holy  fellowship  and  communion  in 
the  worship  of  God,  and  in  performing  such  other  spiritual  services  as  tend  to  their 
mutual  edification  ;  as  also  in  relieving  each  other  in  outward  things,  according  to 
their  several  abilities  and  necessities.  Which  communion,  as  God  oifereth  opportu- 
nity, is  to  be  extended  unto  all  those  who,  in  every  place,  call  upon  the  name  of  iho 
Lord  Jesus. 

This  communion,  which  the  saints  have  with  Christ,  doth  not  make  them  in  any 
wise  partakers  of  the  substance  of  his  Godhead,  or  to  be  equal  with  Christ  in  any 
respect:  either  of  which  to  affirm,  is  impious  and  blasphemous.  .  Nor  doth  their  com- 
munion one  with  another,  as  saints,  take  away,  or  infringe  the  title  or  property  which 
each  man  hath,  in  his  goods  and  possessions. 

27.  Of  the  Sacraments. — Sacraments  are  holy  signs  and  seals  of  the  covenant  of 
grace,  immediately  instituted  by  God,  to  represent  Christ  and  his  benefits,  and  to 
confirm  our  interest  in  him ;  as  also  to  put  a  visible  difference  between  those  that 
belong  unto  the  church,  and  the  rest  of  the  world;  and  solemnly  to  engage  them  to 
the  service  of  God  in  Chvist,  according  to  his  word. 

There  is,  in  every  sacrament,  a  spiritual  relation  or  sacramental  union,  between  the 
sign  and  the  thing  signified ;  whence  it  comes  to  pass,  that  the  names  and  effects  of 
the  one  are  attributed  to  the  other. 

The  grace  which  is  exhibited  in  or  by  the  sacraments  rightly  used,  is  not  conferred 
by  any  power  in  them ;  neither  doth  the  efficacy  of  a  sacrament  depend  upon  the 
piety  or  intention  of  him  that  doth  administer  it,  but  upon  the  work  of  the  Spirit  and 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  207 

the  word  of  institution,  which  contains,  together  with  a  precept  authorising  the  use 
thereof,  a  promise  of  benefit  to  worthy  receivers. 

There  be  only  two  sacraments  ordained  by  Christ  our  Lord  in  the  Gospel,  that  is  to 
say,  Baptism  and  the  Supper  of  the  Lord:  neither  of  which  may  be  dispensed  by  any 
but  by  a  minister  of  the  word,  lawfully  ordained. 

The  Sacraments  of  the  Old  Testament,  in  regard  of  the  spiritual  things  thereby 
signified  and  exhibited  were,  for  substance,  the  same  with  those  of  the  New. 

28.  Of  Baptism. — Baptism  is  a  sacrament  of  the  Xew  Testament,  ordained  by  Jesus 
Christ,  not  only  for  the  solemn  admission  of  the  party  baptised  into  the  visible 
church,  but  also  to  be  unto  him  a  sign  and  seal  of  the  covenant  of  grace,  of  his  in- 
grafting into  Christ,  of  regeneration,  of  remission  of  sins,  and  of  his  giving  up  iinto 
God,  through  Jesus  Christ,  to  walk  in  newness  of  life  :  which  sacrament  is,  by  Christ's 
own  appointment,  to  be  continued  in  his  Church  until,  the  end  of  the  world. 

The  outward  element  to  be  used  in  this  sacrament  is  water,  wherewith  the  party 
is  to  be  baptised  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
by  a  minister  of  the  Gospel,  lawfully  called  thereunto. 

Dipping  of  the  person  into  water  is  not  necessary ;  but  baptism  is  rightly  admin- 
istered by  pouring  or  sprinkling  water  upon  the  person. 

Not  only  those  that  do  actually  profess  faith  in  and  obedience  unto  Christ,  but  also 
the  infants  of  one  or  both  believing  parents  are  to  be  baptised. 

Although  it  be  a  great  sin  to  condemn  or  neglect  this  ordinance,  yet  grace  and 
salvation  are  not  so  inseparably  annexed  unto  it,  as  that  no  person  can  be  regen- 
erated or  saved  without  it,  or  that  all  that  are  baptised  are  undoubtedly  regen- 
erated. 

The  efficacy  of  baptism  is  not  tied  to  that  moment  of  time  wherein  it  is  adminis- 
tered ;  yet,  notwithstanding,  by  the  right  use  of  this  ordinance,  the  grace  promised 
is  not  only  offered,  but  reahy  exhibited  and  conferred  by  the  Holy  Ghost  to  such 
(whether  of  age  or  infants)  as  that  grace  belongeth  unto,  according  to  the  counsel  of 
God's  own  will,  in  his  appointed  time. 

The  sacrament  of  baptism  is  but  once  to  be  administered  to  any  person. 

29.  Of  the  Lord's  Sapper. — Our  Lord  Jesus,  in  the  night  wherein  ho  was  betrayed, 
instituted  the  sacrament  of  his  body  and  blood,  called  the  Lord's  Supper,  to  be  ob- 
served in  his  Church  unto  the  end  of  the  world;  for  the  perpetual  remembrance  of 
the  sacrifice  of  himself  in  his  death,  the  sealing  all  benefits  thereof  unto  true  believers, 
their  spiritual  nourishment  and  growth  in  him,  their  further  engagement  in  and  to 
all  duties  which  they  owe  unto  him;  and  to  be  a  bond  and  pledge  of  their  communion 
with  him,  and  with  each  other,  as  members  of  his  mystical  body. 

In  this  sacrament,  Christ  is  not  offered  up  to  his  Father,  nor  any  real  sacrifice 
made  at  all,  for  the  remission  of  sins  of  the  quick  or  dead ;  but  only  a  commemora- 
tion of  that  one  offering  up  of  himself  by  himself,  upon  the  cross,  once  for  all,  and  a 
spiritual  oblation  of  all  possible  praise  unto  God  for  the  same;  so  that  the  popish 
sacrifice  of  the  mass,  as  they  call  it,  is  most  abominably  injurious  to  Christ's  one  only 
sacrifice,  the  alone  propitiation  for  all  the  sins  of  the  elect. 

The  Lord  Jesus  hath,  in  this  ordinance,  appointed  his  ministers  to  declare  his  won' 
of  institution  to  the  people,  to  pray,  and  bless  the  elements  of  bread  and  wine,  and 
thereby  to  set  them  apart  from  a  common  to  an  holy  use ;  and  to  take  and  break  the 
bread,  to  take  the  cup,  and  (they  communicating  also  themselves)  to  give  both  to  the 
communicants ;  but  to  none  who  are  not  then  present  in  the  congregation. 

Private  masses,  or  receiving  this  sacrament  by  a  priest  or  any  other  alone ;  as  like- 
wise the  denial  of  the  cup  to  the  people,  worshipping  the  elements,  the  lifting  them 
up,  or  carrying  them  about  for  adoration,  and  the  reserving  them  for  any  pretended 
reli<>-ious  use,  are  all  contrary  to  the  nature  of  this  sacrament,  and  to  the  institution 
of  Christ. 


208  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

The  outward  elements  in  this  sacrament,  duly  set  apart  to  the  uses  ordained  by 
Christ,  have  such  relation  to  him  crucified,  as  that  truly,  yet  sacramentally  only,  they 
are  sometimes  called  by  the  name  of  the  things  they  represent,  to  wit:  the  body  and 
blood  of  Christ ;  albeit,  in  substance  and  nature,  they  still  remain  truly  and  only 
bread  and  wine,  as  they  were  before. 

That  doctrine  which  maintains  a  change  of  the  substance  of  bread  and  wine,  into 
the  substance  of  Christ's  body  and  blood  (commonly  called  transubstantiation)  by 
consecration  of  a  priest,  or  by  any  other  way,  is  repugnant,  not  to  Scripture  alone, 
but  even  to  common  sense  and  reason  ;  overthroweth  the  nature  of  the  sacrament ; 
and  hath  been,  and  is,  the  cause  of  manifold  superstitions,  yea,  of  gross  idolatries. 

Worthy  receivers,  outwardly  partaking  of  the  visible  elements  in.  this  sacrament, 
do  then  also  inwardly  by  faith,  really  and  indeed,  yet  not  carnally  and  corporally, 
but  spiritually,  receive  and  feed  upon  Christ  crucified,  and  all  benefits  of  his  death ; 
the  body  and  blood  of  Christ  being  then  not  corporally  or  carnally  in,  with,  or  under 
the  bread  aud  wine  ;  yet  as  really,  but  spiritually,  present  to  the  faith  of  believers  in 
that  ordinance,  as  the  elements  themselves  are  to  their  outward  senses. 

Although  ignorant  and  wicked  men  receive  the  outward  elements  in  this  sacra- 
ment, yet  they  receive  not  the  thing  signified  thereby ;  but,  by  their  unworthy  coming 
thereunto,  are  guilty  of  the  body  and  blood  of  the  Lord,  to  their  own  damnation. 
"Wherefore,  all  ignorant  and  ungodly  persons,  as  they  are  unfit  to  enjoy  communion 
with  him,  so  are  they  unworthy  of  the  Lord's  table,  and  cannot,  without  great  sin 
against  Christ,  while  they  remain  such,  partake  of  these  holy  mysteries,  or  be  ad- 
mitted thereunto. 

30.  Of  Church  Censures. — The  Lord  Jesus,  as  king  and  head  of  his  Church,  hath 
therein  appointed  a  government,  in  the  hand  of  church-officers,  distinct  from  the  civil 
magistrate. 

To  these  officers  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven  are  committed,  by  virtue 
whereof  they  have  power  respectively  to  retain  and  remit  sins,  to  shut  that  kingdom 
against  the  impenitent,  both  by  the  word  and  censures ;  and  to  open  it  unto  penitent 
sinners,  by  the  ministry  of  the  gospel,  and  by  absolution  from  censures,  as  occasion 
shall  require. 

Church  censures  are  necessary  for  the  reclaiming  and  gaining  of  offending  brethren ; 
for  deterring  of  others  from  the  like  offences ;  for  purging  out  of  that  leaven  which 
might  infect  the  whole  lump ;  for  vindicating  the  honor  of  Christ,  and  the  holy  pro- 
fession of  the  gospel;  and  for  preventing  the  wrath  of  God,  which  might  justly  fall 
upon  the  Church,  if  they  should  suffer  his  covenant,  and  the  seals  thereof,  to  be  pro- 
faned by  notorious  and  obstinate  offenders. 

For  the  better  attaining  of  these  ends,  the  officers  of  the  Church  are  to  proceed  by 
admonition,  suspension  irom  the  sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper  for  a  season,  and  by 
excommunication  from  the  Church,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  crime,  and  demerit 
of  the  person. 

31.  Of  Synods  and  Councils. — For  the  better  government  and  further  edification  ot 
the  Church,  there  ought  to  be  such  assemblies  as  are  commonly  called  Synods  or 
Councils;  and  it  belongeth  to  the  overseers  and  other  rulers  of  the  particular 
churches,  by  virtue  of  their  office,  and  the  power  which  Christ  hath  given  them  for 
edification,  and  not  for  destruction,  to  appoint  such  assemblies;  and  to  convene  to- 
gether in  them,  as  often  as  they  shall  judge  it  expedient  for  the  good  of  the  Church. 

It  belongeth  to  Synods  and  Councils,  ministerially  to  determine  controversies  oi 
faith,  and  cases  of  conscience ;  to  set  down  rules  and  directions  for  the  better  order- 
ing of  the  pubhc  worship  of  God,  aud  government  of  his  Church ;  to  receive  com- 
plaints incases  of  maladministration,  and  authoritatively  to  determine  the  same; 
which  decrees  and  determinations,  if  consonant  to  the  word  of  God,  are  to  be  re- 
ceived with  reverence  and  submission,  not  only  for  their  agreement  with  the  word, 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  209 

but  also  for  the  power  whereby  they  are  made,  as  being  an  ordinance  of  God,  ap- 
pointed thereunto  in  his  word. 

All  Synods  or  Councils  since  the  apostles'  times,  whether  general  or  particular, 
may  err,  and  many  have  erred ;  therefore  they  are  not  to  be  made  the  rule  of  faith 
or  practice,  but  to  be  used  as  a  help  in  both. 

Synods  and  Councils  are  to  handle  or  conclude  nothing  but  that  which  is  ecclesias- 
tical; and  are  not  to  intermeddle  with  civil  affairs  which  concern  the  common- 
wealth, unless  by  way  of  humble  petition  in  cases  extraordinary;  or  by  way  of  ad- 
vice for  satisfaction  of  conscience,  if  they  be  thereunto  required  by  the  civil  magis- 
trate. 

32.  Of  the  Slate  of  Men  after  Death,  and  of  the  Resurrection  of  the  Dead. — The  bodies 
of  men,  after  death,  return  to  dust,  and  see  corruption ;  but  their  souls  (which  neither 
die  nor  sleep),  having  an  immortal  subsistence,  immediately  return  to  God  who  gave 
them.  The  souls  of  the  righteous,  being  then  made  perfect  in  holiness,  are  received 
into  the  highest  heavens,  where  they  behold  the  lace  of  God  in  light  and  glory, 
waiting  for  the  full  redemption  of  their  bodies ;  and  the  souls  of  the  wicked  are  cast 
into  hell,  where  they  remain  in  torments  and  utter  darkness,  reserved  to  the  judg- 
ment of  the  great  day.  Besides  these  two  places  for  souls  separated  from  their 
bodies,  the  Scripture  acknowledgeth  none. 

At  the  last  day,  such  as  are  found  alive  shall  not  die,  but  be  changed ;  and  all  the 
dead  shall  be  raised  up  with  the  self-same  bodies,  and  none  other,  although  with 
different  qualities,  which  shall  be  united  again  to  their  souls  for  ever. 

The  bodies  of  the  unjust  shall,  by  the  power  of  Christ,  be  raised  to  dishonor ;  the 
bodies  of  the  just,  by  his  Spirit,  unto  honor,  and  be  made  conformable  to  his  own 
glorious  body. 

33.  Of  the  Last  Judgment. — God  hath  appointed  a  day,  wherein  he  will  judge  the 
world  in  righteousness  by  Jesus,  to  whom  all  power  and  judgment  is  given  of  tho 
Father.  In  which  day,  not  only  the  apostate  angels  shall  be  judged,  but  likewise  all 
persons,  that  have  lived  upon  earth,  shall  appear  before  the  tribunal  of  Christ,  to 
give  an  account  of  their  thoughts,  words,  and  deeds;  and  to  receive  according  to 
what  they  have  done  in  the  body,  whether  good  or  evil. 

The  end  of  God's  appointing  this  day  is  fur  the  manifestation  of  the  glory  of  his 
mercy  in  the  eternal  salvation  of  the  elect ;  and  of  his  justice  in  the  damnation  of  tho 
reprobate,  who  are  wicked  and  disobedient.  For  then  shall  the  righteous  go  into 
everlasting  life,  and  receive  that  fulness  of  joy  and  refreshing  which  shall  come  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord  ;  but  the  wicked,  who  know  not  God,  and  obey  not  the  gos- 
pel of  Jesus  Christ,  shall  be  cast  into  eternal  torments,  and  be  punished  with  ever- 
lasting destruction  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord,  and  from  the  glory  of  his  power. 

As  Christ  would  have  us  to  be  certainly  persuaded  that  there  shall  be  a  day  of 
judgment,  both  to  deter  all  men  from  sin,  and  for  the  greater  consolation  of  the  godly 
in  their  adversity :  so  will  he  have  that  day  unknown  to  men,  that  they  may  shake 
off  all  carnal  security,  and  be  always  watchful,  because  they  know  not  at  what  hour 
the  Lord  will  come ;  and  may  be  ever  prepared  to  sajT,  Come,  Lord  Jesus,  come 
quickly.     Amen. 


The  Xew  School  churches  have  several  theological  seminaries,  among  which  mav 
be  mentioned  '-Lane,"  "Union,"  the  ''Philadelphia  Education  Society,"  the  "Central 
Am.  Educ.  Soc,"  &c,  &c,  all  of  which  are  liberally  sustained. 

In  literature,  New  School  pens  have  made  upon  the  recording  column  of  the  time 
marks  at  least  as  brilliant  and  enduring,  if  not  so  numerous,  as  those  of  elder 
brethren. 

In  periodicals  they  are  opulent,  having  a  considerable  number,  weekly  and  other 
that  accurately  represent  them  on  all  standard  as  well  as  passing  topics  •  amon<*

which  may  bo  mentioned,  we  trust  without  invidiousness,  The  New  York  Evan,' 
grfit.  a  weekly  of  large  size,  quarto  form,  and  edited  with  an  ability  as  marked  as 
its  wholesome  contents  are  various. 

They  have  a  Church  Erection  Fund  for  assisting  young  and  feeble  churches  in  build- 
ing houses  of  worship  ;  a  publication  house  for  the  issuing  of  doctrinal  and  other  ap- 
propriate works  ;  and  a  society  for  the  relief  of  poor  and  infirm  ministers. 

They  have  23  Synods,  108  Presbyteries,  1545  ministers,  1542  churches,  and  a 
membership  of  137,990. 


CUMBERLAND  PRESBYTERIANS. 

At  the  close  of  the  last  century,  the  religious  and  moral  state  of  Kentucky  and 
Tennessee  was  very  low.  There  were  but  few  schools  or  churches,  and  in  both 
States  but  a  limited  number  of  ministers.  The  piety  of  professing  Christians  was  of 
a  questionable  character.  Both  clergy  and  laity  were  accustomed  to  a  free  use  of 
ardent  spirits;  the  Sabbath  was  but  little  respected;  and  gambling  and  profanity 
universal. 

Early  in  1800,  certain  ministers  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  mourning  over  this 
state  of  moral  affairs,  took  counsel  together,  and  resolved  to  make  an  effort  to  bring 
about  a  better.  They  entered  into  solemn  covenants  to  observe  certain  hours  in 
concert  at  a  throne  of  grace.  They  prayed,  they  preached,  they  expostulated.  A 
great  revival  was  at  this  time  exerting  a  beneficent  influence  in  the  Eastern,  Middle, 
and  Western  States — the  South-western  alone  seemed  to  be  excluded  from  any  share 
in  the  awakening.  The  council  were  sad.  but  not  discouraged.  They  prayed  and 
preached  only  the  more  heartily,  trusting,  with  unwavering  faith,  in  the  promises  of 
God. 

At  length  their  prayers  were  heard :  a  brighter  day  dawned.  The  presence  of 
the  Spirit  became  visible  in  several  congregations.  The  interest  increased.  Congre- 
gation after  congregation,  neighborhood  after  neighborhood  awoke ;  and,  by-ancl-by, 
surrounding  counties  also,  through  which  the  holy  influence  spread  like  heavenly 
light ;  nor  staying  here,  but  deepening  and  extending,  till  even  the  neighboring 
States,  on  every  side,  had  partaken  of  the  blessing. 

A  great  want  of  ministers  was  now  felt,  to  lead  and  take  charge  of  the  numerous 
congregations  that  had  been  gathered.  But  how  to  supply  this  want  was  a  question. 
The  church  already  had  more  pulpits  than  ministers  to  fill  them ;  and  usage  and  the 
discipline  authorised  to  be  set  apart  to  the  sacred  office  only  men  of  a  sound  classical, 
as  well  as  theological  education.  What  was  to  be  clone  ?  Leave  the  sheep  without 
shepherds ;  let  the  holy  fire  expire,  the  awakened  to  fall  back  ?  The  question  was  a 
trying  one.  Pious  men,  talented  men,  men  full  up  to  all  the  requirements — except  in  a 
knowledge  of  the  dead  languages — there  were  in  plenty.  But  the  country  was  young, 
the  South-western  field  younger,  and  pious  persons  of  classical  attainments  were 
few  and  far  between.  What  was  to  be  done  ?  The  churches,  the  ministers,  the 
Presbytery  of  Transylvania  were  perplexed. 

At  length,  a  member  of  the  presbytery  was  found  willing  to  take  the  respons'- 
bility.  The  Rev.  Mr.  Rice,  the  oldest  Presbyterian  clergyman  in  Kentucky,  sug- 
gested that,  in  view  of  the  necessity  of  the  case,  it  would  be  right  and  proper  to  h- 
duct  into  the  ministry  pious  and  talented  young  men,  with  or  without  classic  attain- 
ments. The  suggestion  was  received,  and  three  persons  of  known  piet}r,  talent  and 
?,eaL  Messrs.  Anderson,  Ewing   and  King,  were  encouraged  to  prepare  and  present 


AMERICAN   CHRISrjAN    RECORD.  211 

to  the  presbytery  three  written  discourses,  which  were  found  eminently  satisfactory. 
They  were  then  examined  on  literature  and  theology,  through  which  they  also  passed 
successfully,  when  they  were  tried  article  by  article  on  the  Presbyterian  confession 
of  faith,  to  which  they  assented  on  all  points  except  those  of  predestination  and  elec- 
tion, in  which,  witli  many  even  in  the  presbytery,  they  did  not  believe.  Their  de 
nial  of  these  doctrines  caused  a  commotion;  a  portion  of  the  presbytery  warmly  in 
sisting  that  without  acceding  to  every  point  in  the  confession  of  faith,  the  candidates 
should  not  be  licensed.  The  discussion  grew  hot,  but  it  finally  subsided,  and  the 
young  men  were  licensed,  and,  in  process  of  time,  ordained. 

In  1802,  the  Synod  divided  the  Presbytery  of  Transylvania  and  created  a  new  one, 
called  Cumberland  Presbytery.  At  the  fourth  meeting  of  the  latter,  in  180-4,  a  mi- 
nority of  three  complained  to  the  Synod  of  the  irregularity  of  the  above  licenses  and 
ordinations,  and  that  body  appointed  a  commission  to  inquire  into  the  case.  The 
commission  ordered  the  presbyter}',  and  all  its  ordained  ministers  and  licentiates,  to 
appear  before  them  for  re-examination.  The  presbytery  complied;  but  the  ministers 
and  licentiates,  not  recognising  the  authority  of  the  commission,  refused.  The  pres- 
bytery jus  tilled  the  ordinations  and  licenses  on  the  ground  of  necessity;  but  the  plea 
was  not  received  by  the  commission,  who  demanded  the  surrender  of  the  ordained 
ministers  and  licentiates.  The  presbytery  declined,  as  such  a  course  was  subversive 
of  its  authority  and  independence.  The  commission  then  cited  the  presbytery  be- 
fore the  synod,  and  prohibited  the  ordained  ministers  and  licentiates  from  all  further 
exercise  of  their  offices. 

The  prohibition  fell  upon  the  churches,  the  ministers  and  the  licentiates,  like  a  ter- 
rible blow.  The  churches  saw  themselves  cut  off  from  the  ordinances;  the  ministers — 
many  of  whom  had  charge  of  several  churches,  located  in  different  neighborhoods — 
from  following  up  their  labors ;  the  licentiates — who  itinerated,  and  had  appointments 
weeks  before  them — from  keeping  their  engagements.  Divine  services,  the  ordinan- 
ces, and  engagements  for  instituting  new  preaching  stations,  organising  churches, 
solemnising  marriages,  administering  baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper,  meeting  the 
serious,  and  receiving  persons  into  the  church — all,  all  was  frustrated.  The  minis- 
ters and  licentiates  could  only  go  to  the  congregations,  and  relate,  with  humid  eyes 
and  painful  breasts,  what  had  occurred. 

The  work  was  interrupted.  Congregations  formed,  but  not  yet  organised,  fell  off 
and  dispersed.  Churches,  organised,  but  not  yet  firmly  established,  without  leaders 
to  guide  and  govern  them,  fell  to  pieces  and  were  scattered.  Of  the  serious,  num- 
bers fell  back  ;  and  whole  societies,  that  under  regular  ministrations  had  been  led 
up  to  a  high  point  in  harmony  and  discipline,  retrograded. 

The  cited  presbytery,  and  the  silenced  ministers  and  licentiates,  seeing  the  disaster 
that  followed  the  prohibition,  became  alarmed,  and  appealed  to  the  General  Assem- 
bly, pending  whose  reply  they  agreed  to  act,  not  as  a  presbyter}',  but  as  a  council,  at 
whose  conferences  they  decided  to  resume  their  labors  ;  and  though  not  without  her- 
culean efforts,  the  work  of  ruin  was  stayed,  the  dispersed  churches  were  re-collected, 
the  wavering  strengthened  and  made  firm,  and  the  field  brought  back  as  near  as 
possible  to  where  it  stood  before  the  prohibition.  The  smile  of  the  Spirit  followed 
the  efforts  of  the  strugglers,  and  the  churches  once  more  presented  the  animating 
sight  of  numbers  anxiously  enquiring  the  way  of  salvation. 

The  General  Assembly  replied  that  it  could  not  move  in  the  case,  because  it  had 
not  been  appealed  to  according  to  order.  Nevertheless  it  advised  the  Synod  to  re- 
view its  proceedings.  The  latter  complied,  confirmed  the  acts  of  the  commission, 
dissolved  the  Cumberland  presbytery,  and  ordered  the  Transylvania  presbytery  to 
settle  the  dispute  with  the  council,  which  order  only  served  to  inflame  and  irritate. 
In  1S08,  the  council  petitioned  a  second  time  the  General  Assembly,  which  again 
replied  that  it  could  take  no  step  iu  the  case,  because  no  appeal  had  been  sent  con-

cerning  it  from  the  Synod.  Another  year  of  uncertainty  passed.  In  the  mean  time 
the  council  watched,  with  unflagging  interest,  over  the  churches  under  its  care, 
which  continued  to  prosper  and  the  number  of  the  congregations  to  increase.  In 
1809,  the  S}rnod  sent  to  the  General  Assembly  a  letter  stating  all  its  proceedings 
respecting  the  Cumberland  Presbytery.  The  Assembly  received  the  letter,  and  jus- 
tified the  Synod. 

In  1807  and  1808  it  had  decided  that  it  could  not  act  upon  the  case,  because  it  had 
come  up  by  letter,  and  not  by  appeal  from  the  Synod.  In  1S09,  when  it  came  by 
letter,  and  not  by  appeal,  it  did  not  hesitate  to  act ! 

The  news  of  the  Assembly's  action  filled  the  members  of  Cumberland  Presbytery 
with  grief  and  astonishment.  They  had  been  led  by  private  intimations  from  pro- 
minent men  in  the  Assembly  to  look  for  a  very  different  result. 

After  the  first  feeling  had  subsided,  they  began  to  counsel  upon  future  action. 
They  could  not  think,  for  an  instant,  of  giving  up  the  churches  which  had  grown 
up  under  their  prayers,  their  anxious  watching,  and  their  tears,  nor  of  relinquishing 
the  sacred  labors  which  God  himself  had  sanctioned  by  the  width  and  continuous- 
ness  of  His  blessing.  What  was  to  be  done  ?  They  did  not  wish  to  go  to  other 
churches ;  they  were  Presbyterians,  and  gloried  in  the  name.  Attainments  in  the 
classics,  and  the  doctrines  of  election  and  reprobation,  they  could  not  believe  essen- 
tial to  Presbyterianisrn.     What  was  to  be  done  ? 

They  decided  to  meet  as  a  council,  to  hold  together,  and  to  appoint  two  commis- 
sioners to  Transylvania  Presbytery  and  the  Synod.  Notwithstanding  their  numer- 
ous failures,  they  still  hoped  and  prayed  for  an  amicable  adjustment.  Their  only  aim 
was  to  go  on  in  good,  and  doing  good.  No  ambition  higher  than,  or  different  from 
this,  had  thus  far  entered  into  tneir  thoughts.  They  only  desired  to  keep  their 
churches  together,  to  see  souls  converted,  and  the  cause  of  Christ  advance. 

The  commissioners  presented  themselves  before  the  Presbytery  and  the  Synod. 
They  were  heard  in  silence  and  with  indifference.  Totally  •failing,  they  returned 
with  sad  heart.-;  to  the  council  to  make,  with  quivering  lips,  their  painful  report.  A 
mournful  silence  fell  over  the  little  assembly.  Their  last  hope  and  effort  had  re- 
turned to  them,  like  the  dove  at  first  sent  out  from  the  ark,  without  having  found  a 
resting  pkiee,  and,  like  the  ark  itself,  they  were  still  drifting  with  the  flood.  It  was 
a  critical  hour — one  of  those  when  the  next  movement  is  an  event.  They  looked  at 
one  another,  each  to  ask  the  other  his  thought.  They  felt  the  crisis  ;  but  they  were 
of  those  that  walk  by  the  counsel  of  a  genius  higher  than  their  own.  They  knelt 
in  prayer;  met  again,  fasting;  yet  again,  still  fasting;  and  once  more  unitedly  asked 
for  divine  guidance. 

Light  came  to  them.  To  abandon  all,  they  could  not.  To  stand  still,  would  be 
worse  than  useless.  To  go  forward,  was  a  great  undertaking.  But,  standing  up  in 
dignity  upon  their  reserved  rights  as  men,  upon  their  duty  as  Christian  shepherds 
with  numerous  precious  flocks,  and  with  a  devout  sense  of  humility  to  Him  for 
whose  glory  alone  they  lived,  they  took  heart  and  went  forward.  In  the  fear  of 
God,  three  members  of  the  council,  Messrs.  Ewing,  King,  and  McAdam,  under  a  so- 
lemn sense  of  duty  to  their  master,  their  brethren,  and  themselves,  proceeded,  on  the 
fourth  day  of  February,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and 
ten,  to  constitute  a  new  and  independent  association,  to  which  they  gave  the  name 
of  Cumberland  Presbytery,  from  which  has  grown  the  present  large  society,  known 
as  the  Cumberland  Presbyterian  Church.  These  were  the  only  ordained  ministers  in 
the  Presbytery;  but  a  number  of  candidates  and  licentiates  immediately  placed 
themselves  under  its  care.  Other  ordained  ministers  shortly  came  into  the  new  or- 
ganisation, which  thenceforward  knew  only  prosperity.  This  ark  had  found  its 
Ararat  ! 

But  now  that  the  new  denomination  had  assumed  an  independent  existence,  waa

to  come  the  hour  of  trial.  Some  predicted  its  speedy  dissolution ;  others,  that  it 
would  run  into  the  wildest  heresies  and  extravagances ;  its  best  friends  feared  the 
worst ;  its  members  themselves  were  disturbed.  The  glory  of  Christ  was  dear  to 
them;  and  any  movement  of  theirs  that  might  prove  detrimental  to  His  cause  would 
be  a  source  of  profound  sorrow.  Still,  confident  in  the  uprightness  of  their  motives, 
they  bent  themselves  to  the  work.  Their  first  efforts  were  attended  by  the  happiest 
results.  Souls  were  converted;  the  congregations  increased;  new  churches  were 
formed,  and  new  preaching  stations  established,  with  good  prospects.  Other  minis- 
ters, who  at  first  had  wavered  as  to  what  was  duty,  seeiug  that  the  Spirit  recognised 
the  new  denomination,  now  cheerfully  came  forward,  and,  joining,  lent  it  their 
strength.  Candidates  for  the  ministry  also  advanced  in  large  numbers,  and  the  good 
work  went  on  prospering  and  to  prosper.  With  the  passage  of  time,  it  drooped  not, 
waned  not.  In  18 13,  only  three  years  after  the  founding  of  the  organisation,  the 
presbytery  had  so  swollen  in  numbers  that  it  was  found  necessary  to  divide  it  into 
three,  of  which  was  formed  a  synod.  Years  went  on,  aryl  converts,  churches,  min- 
isters, and  presbyteries  increased  with  great  rapidity.  In  1829,  the  bounds  of  the 
synod  comprised  the  States  of  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  Alabama,  Arkansas,  Illinois, 
and  embraced  eighteen  presbyteries.  The  field  was  too  broad  for  a  single  synod, 
and  in  May  of  that  year  a  General  Assembly  was  established  at  Princeton,  Ky.  In 
1831,  the  denomination  extended  into  Western  Pennsylvania,  where  a  presbytery 
was  shortly  organized,  which,  in  1844,  had  grown  into  a  synod  numbering  4  pres- 
byteries, 65  congregations,  and  about  7000  communicants.  In  1834,  the  church  had 
9  synods,  35  presbyteries,  300  ordained  preachers,  100  licentiates,  75  candidates 
for-  the  ministry,  and  about  50,000  members;  since  when  the  church  has  extended 
into  nearly  all  the  States  and  territories,  but  has  her  largest  numerical  strength  in 
the  South  and  South-West.  She  has  now  between  600  and  700  ministers,  about  030 
churches,  a  membership  but  little  short  of  75,000,  and  addresses  every  Sabbath 
nearly  a  million  souls. 

The  church  has  a  Board  of  Foreign  and  Domestic  Missions,  a  large  number  of  well 
organised  Sabbath-schools,  and  a  book  concern.  She  co-operates  with  the  leading 
national  institutions,  such  as  the  American  Bible,  Tract,  and  Missionary  Societies,  Sun- 
day School  Union,  &c,  and  takes  a  strong  stand  in  favor  of  all  legitimate  reforms. 

In  literature,  she  is  represented  by  a  respectable  body  of  well-edited  periodicals, 
and  a  few  authors,  who  make  up  in  vigor  and  perspicuity  of  style  for  the  limited- 
ness  of  their  number.  Among  the  former,  we  would  call  attention  to  the  Missouri 
Cumberland  Presbyterian,  of  St.  Louis  ;  the  Texas  Presbyterian,  at  Huntsville  ; 
the  Banner  of  Peace,  at  Nashville,  Tenn.  ;  and  the  Cumberland  Preshyterian, 
at  Uniontown,  Pa.,  as  worthy,  high-toned  family  journals,  and  alike  creditable  to  the 
press  of  their  respective  regions,  and  the  denomination  whose  principles  they  advo- 
cate. Among  the  latter,  we  would  enumerate  David  Lowry,  Reuben  Burrows,  Mil- 
ton Bird,  Robert  Donnell,  &c.,  &c. 

In  respect  to  education,  Cumberland  Presbyterians  have  been,  from  the  beginning, 
widely  misrepresented.  They  have  been  traduced,  by  the  unfriendly,  as  indifferent 
to  learning,  and  their  ministers,  in  education,  as  below  the  average,  than  which 
nothing  could  be  further  from  truth.  While  it  is  true  that  here  and  there  among 
their  clergy  may  be  found  one  deficient  in  high  culture — as,  indeed,  in  what  denomi- 
nation may  there  not  ? — yet  it  is  equally  true,  that  the  greater  number  will  compare 
with  those  of  any  other  denomination,  with  the  single  exception,  perhaps,  of  the 
Unitarian,  whose  ministers  alone,  as  is  well  knoAvn,  have,  as  a  body,  attained  to  the 
metaphysics  of  scholarship.  In  the  beginning,  she  could  not  obtain  for  her  pulpit 
men  of  classic  attainments — the  field  in  which  she  labored  was  young,  and  did  not 
furnish  them;  nor,  indeed,  were  they  needed.  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  were  then 
rude  wilds,  an)d  peopled,  with  few  exceptions,  by  spirits  equally  unpolished,  who 


214  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

required  for  preachers,  minds  of  a  sterling,  vigorous  mould,  that  could  preach  the 
simple  story  of  the  Cross,  and  the  conditions  of  salvation,  in  a  style  adapted  to  their 
comprehension.  Preachers  of  tins  description  only  were  required,  and  of  these  the 
church  supplied  sufficient,  according  to  the  demand.  "When,  with  the  advance  in 
population  and  refinement,  a  higher  order  of  minds  was  called  for,  the  church  was 
equal  to  this  also ;  as  witness  that,  throughout  her  territory,  she  has  kept  even  pace 
with  the  march  of  society,  in  numbers,  education,  and  refinement.  She  has  several 
institutions  of  learning,  of  which  Cumberland  University,  at  Lebanon,  Tenu.,  and 
Cumberland  College,  Princeton,  Ky.,  are  the  most  eminent. 

In  government,  church  offices,  and  usages,  there  is  nothing  to  distinguish  her  from 
the  parent  church,  towards  which  she  entertains  only  feelings  of  peace  and  love  ; 
never,  even  in  the  beginning,  having  harbored  any  other.  In  doctrine,  however,  as 
already  stated,  there  is  an  essential  difference.  Cumberland  Presbyterians  under- 
stand the  Westminster  Confession  of  Faith  as  teaching  absolute  and  unconditional 
election,  and  consequently,  eternal  reprobation;  that  a  part  only  of  mankind  are 
embraced  in  the  atonement,  and  the  other  part  unprovided  for;  that  Christ  died  only 
for  those  whom  God  intended,  from  before  the  foundation  of  the  world,  to  justify  and 
glorify ;  that  infants  do  not  attain  salvation ;  and  that  the  Holy  Spirit  operates,  in  a 
sufficient  degree,  only  on  the  elect — that  is,  those  whom  God,  from  all  eternity,  de- 
signed to  save.  On  these  points  they  believe — 1.  That  neither  election  nor  reproba- 
tion is  absolute,  but  that  Christians  are  elected  in  consideration  of  their  voluntary 
obedience,  and  that  the  wicked  are  reprobated  because  of  their  voluntary  rejection 
of  Christ.  2.  That  Christ  tasted  death  for  every  man.  3.  That  all  dying  in  infancy 
are  saved  through  Christ  and  the  sanctifying  agency  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  4.  That  the 
Holy  Spirit  operates  on  all  men  in  such  a  manner  that  they  might  be  saved ;  and 
that  the  reason  why  the  influence  of  the  Spirit  is  effectual  in  one  case  and  not  in 
another,  depends,  not  on  the  mode  or  extent  of  the  operation,  but  on  the  disposition 
and  conduct  of  the  individual  moved  upon. 

DOCTRINAL   BELIEF. 

1.  That  there  are  in  the  Godhead  three  persons,  co-equal  and  eternal:  the  Father, 
the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Spirit. 

2.  That  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  is  very  God,  and  very  man;  possessing  two  distinct 
natures,  human  and  divine,  in  one  person. 

3.  That  man  was  made  upright,  pure,  and  free ;  sufficient  to  have  stood,  yet  free  to 
fall,  his  will  not  being  determined  by  any  absolute  necessity,  either  to  good  or  evil, 
but  in  all  cases  left  to  the  exercise  of  a  free  choice. 

4.  That  all  Adam's  family  are  totally  depraved,  and  come  into  the  world  under  the 
curse  of  the  law. 

5.  That  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  by  the  atonement,  has  elected  all  the  human  family 
to  a  day  of  trial — to  a  state  of  probation ;  that  as  Adam,  in  the  first  state  of  proba- 
tion, represented  all  the  human  family,  so  Christ,  the  second  Adam,  represented  all 
in  the  second  probation. 

6.  That  Divine  influence  is  necessary;  that  a  measure  of  the  Spirit  is  given  to 
every  one  to  profit  withal;  that  no  man  can  obey  the  gospel  without  the  aid  of  the 
Holy  Spirit. 

7."  That  justification  is  by  faith  as  the  instrumental,  by  Christ  as  the  meritorious, 
and  by  the  operation  of  the  Spirit  as  the  efficient  cause. 

8.  That  those  who  are  elected,  or  chosen  heirs  of  glory  in  consequence  of  their 
voluntary  obedience  and  faith  in  Christ,  will  persevere  to  eternal  life ;  and  that  those 
who  believe,  are  ordained  to  oternal  life  in  consequence  of  that  belieC 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  215 

0.  That  the  Scriptures  of  the  Old  and  New  Testament  are  the  only  rule  of  faith 
and  practice  in  all  matters  of  religion. 

10.  That  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  King  of  Zion,  has  instituted  a  visible  Church, 
of  which  Christ  is  the  great  Head  and  Bishop,  and  that  it  is  composed  of  many  dif- 
ferent branches,  having  different  names. 

11.  That  Water  Baptism,  and  the  Lord's  Supper,  are  the  divinely  instituted  ordi- 
nances of  the  Church. 

12.  That  works  of  mercy,  charity,  and  obedience  to  Christ,  are  not  meritorious  to 
purchase  salvation,  but  are  imperiously  necessary  as  tests  and  expressions  of  our 
obedience,  without  which  none  are  counted  worthy  to  receive  the  gift  of  eternal  life. 

13.  That  baptism  in  the  Christian  Church  has  taken  the  place  of  circumcision  in 
the  Jewish  Church  ;  and  hence  the  propriety  of  Christian  parents  observing  this 
duty  in  respect  to  their  offspring. 

14.  That  there  is  a  divine  and  internal  call  to  the  sacred  office  of  the  holy  ministry, 
and  that  an  ample  literary  qualification  is  necessary  to  the  discharge  of  its  important 
functions. 

15.  That  Christ,  the  Judge  of  the  quick  and  dead,  will,  at  the  last  day,  reward 
the  righteous,  and  punish  the  finally  impenitent. 

16.  That  there  will  be  a  resurrection  of  the  bodies,  both  of  the  just  and  unjust. 

17.  That  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  will,  after  the  restitution  of  all  things,  and  the  com- 
pletion of  the  Judgment  scene,  surrender  the  mediatorial  government  into  the  hands 
of  the  Father,  when  God  will  be  all  in  all. 


UNITED  PRESBYTERIANS. 

Tins  body  is  composed  of  a  recent  union  of  Associate  and  Associate  Reformed 
Presbyterians,  which,  however,  is  not  wholly  complete,  a  few  of  both  societies  refusing 
to  come  into  the  union. 

The  Associate  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  is  a  branch  of  the  Asso- 
ciate Presbyterian  Church  of  Scotland,  itself  a  secession,  in  1773,  from  the  Presby- 
terian  Church  of  Scotland.  At  an  early  period  of  the  secession,  emigrants  from 
Ireland  and  Scotland  settled  in  various  parts  of  New  York,  Virginia,  Delaware,  Penn- 
sylvania, and  North  Carolina;  finding  here  no  denomination  with  whose  views  they 
wholly  concurred,  petitioned  the  mother  church  for  ministers.  Messrs.  Alexander 
Gillatly  and  Andrew  Arnot  were  sent  over,  with  instructions  to  organise  congre- 
gations, and  constitute  themselves  into  a  presbytery,  which  they  did  in  November, 
17  54,  under  the  name  of  the  Associate  Presbytery  of  Pennsylvania.  Mr.  Arnot 
returned  at  the  expiration  of  two  years,  and  four  years  later  Mr  Gillatly  was  removed 
by  death  ;  but  the  presbytery  was  kept  up  by  fresh  missionaries  from  Scotland  till 
the  Revolution,  when  the  number  of  ministers  had  increased  to  thirteen.  In  1776, 
tiie  presbytery  was  divided — those  ministers  settled  in  and  east  of  New  York 
comprising  the  Presbytery  of  New  York,  and  those  in  and  south  of  Philadelphia,  the 
Presbytery  of  Pennsylvania. 

At  this  period,  there  were  also  in  Pennsylvania  three  clergymen  of  another  body 
of  seceders  from  the  Church  of  Scotland,  called  Reformed  Presbyterians.  After  the 
division  of  the  presbytery,  an  unsuccessful  effort  was  made  to  form  a  union  between 
these  and  the  Associate  Presbytery  of  Pennsylvania.  It  was  tried  again  and  again, 
with  no  better  result.  But  these  repeated  failures  served  only  to  incite  the  movers 
to  renewed  exertion.     It  was  brought  up  and  voted  down  at  twenty  different  meetings, 


216  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN*    RECORD. 

at  the  last  of  which,  apparently,  it  received  a  quietus.  But,  nothing  daunted,  the 
movers  brought  it  up  again  at  the  next,  when,  as  it  happened,  the  members  were  not 
all  present,  and  carried  it  by  the  casting  vote  of  the  moderator.  The  opposers  of  the 
measure  had  wished  it  delayed  till  the  Synod  in  Scotland  could  be  heard  from  respect- 
ing it.  But  the  advocates  declared  themselves  no  longer  in  connection  with  that 
Synod,  and  censured  the  objectors  for  not  falling  in  with  the  union.  The  new  or- 
ganisation was  termed  the  Associate  Reformed  Synod,  from  the  names  of  the  bodies 
from  which  the  parties  came. 

The  plan  of  union  failed  in  its  design  of  combining  the  two  societies  into  one. 
The  opposers  of  the  measure,  in  the  Associate  Presbyter}-,  continued  their  proceed- 
ings as  usual,  and  their  course  was  approved  by  the  Scotch  Synod;  while  the  Ro- 
formed  Presbyterian  Synod  condemned  the  step  its  ministers  had  taken,  and  sent 
others  to  supply  their  place.  So  that  the  two  original  bodies  continued  to  exist,  and 
the  new  one  also. 

The  union  was  a  heavy  blow  to  the  Associate  Presbytery  of  Pennsylvania,  which 
it  left  with  only  two  ministers,  namely :  Win.  Marshall,  of  Philadelphia,  and  James 
Clarkson,  of  York  County,  who,  for  a  time,  were  alone,  the  Associated  Presbytery  of 
New  York  having  joined  the  union.  As  soon  as  practicable,  the  Synod  of  Scotland 
sent  over  others  to  their  assistance.  In  a  few  years,  too,  many  of  those  who 
had  gone  into  the  union  came  back,  and  the  prospects  of  the  presbytery  began  once 
more  to  brighten.- 

In  1793,  the  first  institution  for  educating  young  men  for  the  ministry  was  estab- 
lished, under  the  care  of  the  Rev.  John  Anderson,  of  Beaver  county,  Avho  continued 
sole  professor  of  theology  till  1818,  when  he  retired,  from  old  age.  In  1798,  the  Pres- 
bytery of  Philadelphia  being  unable  to  supply  the  demand  for  ministers  from  Ken- 
tucky and  Tennessee,  the  Synod  in  Scotland  sent  out  Messrs.  Robert  Armstrong  and 
Andrew  Fulton,  as  missionaries  to  the  former  of  these  two  States,  with  authority  to 
form  themselves  into  a  presbytery,  which,  with  ruling  elders,  they  organised  on  the 
28th  November  of  that  year,  under  the  name  of  the  Synod  of  Kentucky.  In  1801, 
a  Synod  was  formed,  called  the  Associate  Synod  of  North  America,  at  which,  on  the 
roil  call,  seventeen  ministers  answered  to  their  names.  These  were  divided  into  four 
presbyteries,  to  wit :  the  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia,  the  Presbytery  of  Kentucky, 
tiie  Presbyteiy  of  Cambridge,  and  the  Presbytery  of  Chartiers.  For  some  years, 
appeals  might  be  taken  from  this  Synod  to  that  of  Scotland;  but  in  1818  it  was  de- 
dared  a  co-ordiuate  Synod  by  the  General  Associate  Synod  of  Scotland.  In  1820,  an 
attempt  was  made  to  tbrm  a  union  between  the  Church  and  the  Associate  Reformed 
Synod  of  the  West,  which  had  separated  from  the  General  Associate  Reformed  Synod 
on  account  of  alleged  Latitudiuarianism  in  doctrine  on  the  part  of  the  latter;  but  it 
did  not  prove  successfnl. 

In  1S38  a  few  ministers,  suspended  for  irregularity,  withdrew,  and  formed  them- 
selves into  a  Synod  under  the  same  name  as  that  they  had  left,  viz:  The  Associate 
Synod  of  North  America.  Later,  two  other  ministers,  suspended  on  account  of  their 
connection  with  slavery,  also  assumed  the  name  of  the  Associate  Church,  but  sub- 
sequently united  with  the  Associate  Reformed  Synod  of  the  South.  Later  still,  a  min- 
ister of  tiie  presbytery  of  Miami,  joined  with  a  suspended  brother  of- the  same  pres- 
bytery and  formed  the  Free  Associate  Presbytery  of  Miami.  These  incidents  occa- 
sioned some  reduction  in  ministers  and  members,  but  the  loss  was  compensated  by 
the  harmony  and  order  that  afterward  prevailed. 

Recently  an  effort  to  unite  the  Church  and  the  Associate  Reformed  Presbyterian, 
under  the  title  of  United  Presbyterians,  has  been  attended  with  so  great  success, 
that  tne  union  has  been  effected,  though  a  minority  of  the  churches  still  refuse  to 
com©  into  it.     Appearances,  however,  indioate  that  the  union  will  ere  long  be  fully  .

accomplished.  The  General  Assembly  of  the  new  body — the  United  Presbyterians — 
will  be  held  at  Philadelphia,  in  May  of  the  present  year,  when,  it  is  thought,  a  plan 
will  be  submitted  which,  it  is. believed,  will  prove  generally  acceptable,  and  remove 
the  scruples  of  the  churches  now  standing  out.

Associate  Reformed  Church. — The  earliest  missions  to  America  were  sent  out  in 
1751,  by  the  Reformed  Synod  of  Scotland.  In  1753,  the  Rev.  James  Proudfjt  ar- 
rived, and  after  itinerating  for  some  years,  settled  at  Pequa,  Peunsylvania.  He  was 
followed,  in  1758,  by  the  Rev.  Matthew  Henderson;  in  1761,  by  John  Mason,  Robert 
Annon,  and  John  Smart;  in  1762,  by  William  Marshall;  and  in  1764,  by  Thomas 
Clarke  and  his  congregation,  who  settled  at  Salem,  N.  Y. ;  in  1766,  by  Messrs.  Tel- 
fair, Kinloch,  John  Roger,  and  John  Smith.  In  1765,  the  ministers  of  the  Associate 
and  Associate  Reformed  Churches,  sensible  of  their  weakness  as  separate  bodies, 
attempted  to  form  a  union,  but  were  unsuccessful.  Nothing  of  importance  occurred 
till  1776,  when,  as  described  in  the  foregoing,  the  Presbytery  of  Pennsylvania  was 
divided  into  two,  viz.:  the  Presbytery  of  Pennsylvania  and  the  Presbytery  of  New 
York,  shortly  after  which  the  proposal  for  a  union  of  the  Associate  and  the  Asso- 
ciate Reformed  Churches  was  again  submitted,  but  without  avail.  Convention  after 
convention  was  held  for  the  same  purpose,  but  to  no  effect,  till  1782,  when  the  fa- 
vorers of  the  measure  were  at  length  successful  in  obtaining  a  majority,  and  effecting 
the  imion ;  though  not  to  the  extent  of  their  wish,  for  the  minority  in  the  Associate 
Presbytery  continued  their  organisation  as  before,  and  a  few  of  the  congregations  in 
both  communions  refused  to  recognise  the  union.  Prom  these  minorities,  as  we  have 
in  part  seen,  issued  the  Associate  Church,  and  the  Covenanters,  or  Reformed  Pres- 
byterians. In  1782,  the  three  presbyteries  formed  themselves  into  a  synod,  under 
the  name  of  the  Associate  Reformed  Synod  of  North  America,  one  of  the  first  acts 
of  which  was  the  adoption  of  a  series  of  articles  descriptive  of  the  Church's  faith, 
the  tone  of  which,  however,  was  too  catholic  for  the  times,  and  caused  so  much  dis- 
turbance that  the  synod,  in  1799,  deemed  it  expedient  to  cast  the  articles  aside,  and 
adopt,  for  the  constitution  and  standards  of  the  Church,  the  Westminster  Confession 
of  Faith  and  Catechism,  with  such  alterations  in  the  articles  relating  to  the  magis- 
tracy as  were  in  harmony  with  the  views  of  her  ministry  and  people. 

For  twenty  years  after  the  union,  the  growth  of  the  Church  was  rapid,  and  the 
demand  for  ministers  greater  than  the  Synod  could  supply.  This  rapidity  of  increase 
led,  in  1S03,  to  a  division  of  the  Church  into  the  lour  provincial  synods  of  New 
York,  Pennsylvania,  Scioto,  and  the  Carolinas,  under  a  representative  General  Sy- 
nod— an  ill-timed  movement,  resulting  in  great  injury.  The  provincial  synods,  held 
at  great  expense  and  trouble,  shortly  found  that  they  had  no  business  to  transact 
worthy  of  the  name,  and  in  a  few  years  ceased  to  assemble.  The  affairs  of  the 
Church  fell  into  the  hands  of  a  few,  and  jealousies  were  engendered,  whose  evil  ef- 
fects continued  for  many  years. 

In  1S00,  it  was  deemed  judicious  to  take  steps  for  the  establishment  of  a  theologi- 
cal seminary,  as  the  only  means  of  supplying  the  steadily  increasing  demand  for 
ministers.  Dr.  John  M.  Mason,  a  warm  advocate  of  the  enterprise,  and  one  of  the 
most  devoted  and  eloquent  preachers  of  the  time,  was  sent  to  Great  Britain  to  pro- 
cure voluntary  contributions,  and  returned  with  five  ministers  and  $6000 — a  large 
sum  at  that  period — the  greater  part  of  which  was  expended  in  the  purchase  of  a 
library.  In  1804,  the  seminary  was  established  in  the  city  of  New  York,  with  Dr. 
Mason  as  professor  of  theology. 

Hitherto  the  usage  of  the  Church  had  been  to  observe  the  Lord's  Supper  not  oftener 
than  twice,  and  in  some  cases  only  once,  a  year.  The  sacrament  Sabbath  was  pre- 
ceded by  a  fast  day  on  the  Thursday,  and  succeeded  by  a  thanksgiving  day  on  the 
Monday,  and  so  firmly  fixed  were  these  days  of  fasting  and  thanksgiving  that  it 


218  AMERICAN    CIlRISriA'N    RECORD. 

was  deemed  almost  a  profanation  of  the  sacrament  to  celebrate  it  without  them.  Dr. 
Mason,  in  his  "Letters"  to  the  members  of  the  Associate  Reformed  Church,  set  him- 
self to  oppose  these  additions  to  the  sacrament,  which,  it  was  evident,  were  a  serious 
hindrance  to  the  spirit  of  the  Directory  winch  declares  that  "the  Lord's  Supper  is 
frequently  to  be  observed.''  The  confession  of  the  Scottish  Church  asserts  in  the 
plainest  terms  the  duty  of  communing-  with  all  who  call  on  the  name  of  the  Lord : 
and  the  practice  of  the  church  was  exclusive.  The  object  of  Dr.  Mason's  work  was 
to  bring  the  churches  into  a  correspondence  with  their  standards  in  this  respect.  But, 
as  was  to  be  expected,  the  work,  though  it  exerted  the  desired  influence  in  many 
cases,  gave  great  ofience  to  some,  who  did  not  or  would  not  see  any  difference  be- 
tween catholic  and  promiscuous  communion.  The  discussion  to  which  its  publication 
gave  rise,  and  an  attempt  at  the  same  time  to  introduce  a  new  psalter,  greatly  con- 
tributed to  previous  jealousies,  which,  ia  1S20,  terminated. in  the  withdrawal  of  the 
entire  synod  of  Scioto. 

In  1821,  the  synod  of  the  Carolinas  petitioned  the  General  Synod  to  erect  it  into 
an  independent  synod,  on  the  ground  of  its  distance  from  the  usual  meeting  place  of 
the  synod,  and  the  consequent  impossibility  of  its  being  represented  in  the  supremo 
council  of  the  church.  The  request  was  granted.  For  a  time  no  benefits  appeared 
to  accrue  from  this  movement;  but  the  new  synod  eventually  displayed  a  considerable 
increase  in  the  number  of  its  members,  and  statistics  representing  a  corresponding 
increase  in  congregations  and  communicants. 

About  the  time  of  the  withdrawal  of  the  synod  of  Scioto,  more  generally  known  as 
the  Western  Synod,  a  proposition  was  made  for  a  union  of  the  Associate  Reformed 
with  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church,  under  the  name  of  the  Reformed  Protestant  Church 
of  North  America  ;  but  some  of  the  Dutch  Reformed  classes  treating  it  with  a  cold- 
ness that  wounded  its  supporters,  it  was  abandoned. 

Another  union  was  shortly  proposed,  to  wit:  with  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church.  This  was  warmly  opposed  by  a  large  portion  of  the  churches 
and  congregations,  but  it  was  pertinaciously  urged  forward  by  certain  members  of 
the  General  Synod,  who  took  advantage,  in  1822,  of  the  non-arrival  of  other  of  the 
members,  many  of  whom  were  then  on  their  way  to  the  synod,  to  consummate  the 
measure. 

The  vote  was,  for  union,  1  ;  against  it,  6  ;  silent,  4.  The  majority  at  once  de- 
clared the  General  Synod  dissolved,  and  within  a  week  the  valuable  library  of  the 
Associate  Reformed  Church  was  removed  from  New  York  to  the  Presbyterian  Theo- 
logical Seminary  at  Princeton.  The  Church,  who,  as  a  whole,  had  had  no  hand  in 
the  precipitation  of  this  movement,  was  indignant.  Want  of  concentrated  energy, 
however,  in  her  own  body,  prevented  united  action  till  1830,  when  she  presented  a 
statement  of  the  facts  to  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterians,  and  demanded 
the  restoration  of  her  library.  The  General  Assembly  refusing,  she  instituted  an  ac- 
tion at  law  for  the  recovery"  of  the  property,  which,  after  a  long  and  warm  struggle, 
was  decided  in  her  favor.  The  library  was  then  removed  to  Newburgh,  N.  Y., 
where  she  had  established  a  theological  seminary,  under  the  care  of  the  Rev.  Joseph 
McCarroll,  D.D.,  who  was  also  chosen  professor  of  theology. 

The  Synod  of  New  York  now  resumed  its  ordinary  meetings,  and  took  the  placo 
of  the  dissolved  General  Synod  as  the  supreme  judicatory  of  the  Church  in  the 
Northern  States. 

From  the  foregoing,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Church,  since  1822,  existed  in  three 
independent  divisions,  namely :  the  Synods  of  the  North.  South,  and  West — a  state 
of  affairs  which  precluded  the  possibility  of  that  prosperity  which  invariably  arises 
from  union.  The  latter,  however,  was  not  easy  of  accomplishment,  the  Western 
Synod  having  taken  a  stand  against  slavery,  which  forbade  all  thought  of  fellowship 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  219 

with  the   Southern   Synod,  while  the  agitation  of  the  same  subject  by  the  Synod  of 
the  North  equally  barred  fellowship  with  it  by  the  Synod  of  the  South. 

For  several  years  an  effort  has  been  in  course  for  a  union  of  the  Associate  Re- 
formed and  Reformed  Presbyterian  Churches,  under  the  title  of  United  Presbyte- 
rians, which  has  at  length  been  partially  crowned  with  success.  A  number  of  con- 
gregations, doubtful  of  the  propriety  of  the  movement,  still  holdout;  but  there  can 
bo  no  doubt  that,  if  satisfied  with  its  ultimate  workings,  they,  too,  will  come  in.

REFORMED    PRESBYTERIANS. 

Reformed  Presbyterians  are  a  branch  of  the  Reformed  Synod  of  Scotland,  better 
known  as  the  Church  of  the  Covenanters,  so  called  for  their  unyielding  devotion  to 
the  principles  of  the  solemn  League  and  Covenant  in  the  dark,  trying  period  of  the 
Scottish  Reformation.  During  the  persecutions  that  followed,  several  members  of  the 
Reformed  Presbyterian  Church  sought  an  asylum  in  the  colonies,  where,  rinding  no 
ministers  of  their  society,  they  kept  up  praying  societies,  till  the  arrival  of  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Cuthbertson,  seut  out  by  the  Reformed  Presbytery  of  Scotland,  in  1752,  when  they 
had  preaching  and  the  ordinances.  Mr.  Cuthbertson  visited  and  preached  to  the  differ- 
ent societies,  and  was  for  more  than  twenty  years  the  only  minister  of  the  Reformed 
Church  in  America.  In  177-1,  Messrs.  Linn  and  Dobbin  came  over,  sent  by  the  Re- 
formed Presbyteiy  of  Ireland,  when  a  presbytery  was  formed,  which,  however,  was 
subsequently  lost  in  the  union  of  the  Reform  and  the  Associate  Presbyterians.  By 
this  union,  or  schism,  as  it  was  termed,  the  Church  was  greatly  weakened,  and  again 
reduced  to  private  fellowship  meetings,  when,  making  known  by  letter  their  condition 
to  the  Reformed  Presbytery  of  Scotland,  the  latter  sent  out  to  their  help  the  Rev. 
James"  Ried,  who,  however,  remained  only  a  few  months.  He  was  succeeded  in 
1791,  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  McGarragh,  sent  out  by  the  Reformed  Presbytery  of  Ireland, 
who  was  joined  by  the  Rev.  Wm.  King  in  1792,  who  was  followed  the  ensuing  year 
by  the  Rev.  James  McKinney,  whose  successful  labors  in  New  York  and  Pennsylva- 
nia were  an  event  in  the  history  of  the  Church.  In  1797,  Rev.  Wm.  Gibson,  of  Ire- 
laud,  arrived,  accompanied  by  Messrs.  Black  and  Wylie,  graduates  of  the  University 
of  Glasgow,  and  the  next  3rear  the  Reformed  Presbytery  of  the  United  States  of 
North  America  was  constituted.  In  1799,  Messrs.  Donelly,  Black,  Wylie  and  Mc- 
Leod,  were  licensed  to  preach.  Within  two  years  they  were  all  ordained,  and  had 
fixed  pastoral  charges.  The  Church,  now  beginning  to  feel  her  strength,  issued,  in 
1806,  the  "Testimony  of  the  Reformed  Presbyterian  Church  of  the  United  States," 
containing  her  history,  doctrines,  and  an  enumeration  of  the  errors  which  she  re- 
jects. At  the  same  session  were  passed  two  important  acts — the  one  respect- 
ing oaths  before  the  constituted  authorities  of  the  nation,  the  other  relative  to 
serving  as  jurors  in  courts  of  justice.  These  acts,  and  the  reasons  for  them,  pre- 
sent some  of  the  distinctive  features  of  the  Church,  and  caused  not  a  little  violent 
discussion. 

Owing'to  the  extended  field  over  which  the  Church  was  scattered,  the  presbytery, 
which  had  met  biennially,  was  divided  into  three  committees.  In  1809,  that  judica- 
tory was  dissolved,  all  its  acts  ratified,  and  a  synod  constituted,  which  erected  the 
committees  into  presbyteries. 

A  prominent  feature  of  the  society  is,  that  her  members  will  not  own  allegiance  to 


220  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN    RECORD. 

the  government  of  any  nation  which  docs  not  own  allegiance  to.  Christ  as  its  head. 
And  as  they  do  not  find  any  nation  rendering  such  allegiance,  they  remain  in  the 
character  of  aliens,  neither  voting  for  officers,  holding  offices,  sitting  as  juries,  nor 
taking  the  oath  of  naturalisation.  This  distinctive  feature  has  operated  as  a  serious 
bar  to  many  entering  her  communion,  and  been  the  occasion  of  offence  to  some  who 
had  been  long  in  the  enjoyment  of  her  privileges.  In  1833,  a  number  of  her  minis- 
ters and  members,  believing  that  they  had  duties  as  citizens  as  well  as  Christians  to 
perform,  and  that  the  American  was  essentially  a  Christian  government,  and  there- 
fore that  it  was  both  their  privilege  and  duty  each  to  take  a  personal  part  in  uphold- 
ing and  maintaining  the  integrity  of  its  institutions,  withdrew  and  constituted  a  sepa- 
rate synod,  called  by  the  same  name  as  that  from  which  they  had  seceded,  namely: 
The  General  Synod  of  the  Reformed  Presbyterian  Church.  These  were  variously 
termed  New  Side  men,  New  Lights,  in  contradistinction  to  the  original  members,  who 
were  denominated  by  themselves  and  others,  ''Old-side,"  Old  School,  etc.  In  this 
secession  movement.  Drs.  Wylie  and  McMaster,  Rev.  Messrs.  Crawford  Stuart,  J. 
N.  M'Leod,  W.  Wilson,  and  J.  McMaster,  bore  a  prominent  part.  The  New  Side 
branch  is  active  and  energetic ;  takes  a  deep  interest  in  both  domestic  and  foreign 
missions,  to  which  it  contributes  with  a  liberal  hand;  leaves  to  its  people  the  privi- 
lege of  taking  a  part  in  political  matters,  according  to  their  conscience ;  is  missionary 
in  its  spirit,  sparing  no  pains  to  preach  the  gospel  to  the  destitute;  gives  freely  to  all 
legitimate  objects  of  benevolence ;  is  active  in  all  enterprises  having  for  their  purpose 
honor  to  God  and  good  to  man,  and  occupies  a  high  and  honorable  place  in  the 
American  church. 

Another  distinctive  feature  of  the  Society  is  her  view  of  covenanting,  and  the  at- 
tachment of  her  sons  to  the  covenants  of  their  ancestors.  They  hold  that  it  is  the 
duty  of  the  Christian  to  dedicate  himself  to  God,  by  solemn  vow  or  oath,  which  is 
the  taking  hold  of  the  covenant  of  God,  and  engaging  in  the  strength  of  grace  to  per- 
form all  the  duties  it  requires  ;  that  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Christian  Church,  in  her  social 
capacity,  occasionally  to  vow  to  the  Lord ;  that  nations  ought,  in  their  social  capa- 
city, to  enter  into  covenants  with  God  for  the  preservation  of  their  liberties,  and  for 
maintaining  the  interests  of  the  kingdom  of  Christ,  as  the  surest  basis  of  public  peace 
and  prosperity  ;  that  the  covenants  of  a  church  or  nation,  when  founded  on  the  word 
of  God,  continue  binding  until  their  design  has  been  fully  accomplished,  and  their 
obligation  descends  upon  the  posterity  of  those  who  entered  into  them. 

A  third  prominent  feature  of  the  Society  is,  that  every  member  is  required  to  at- 
tend a  social  fellowship  meeting,  for  prayer  and  Christian  conferences.  In  other  de- 
nominations this  is  regarded  as  a  privilege ;  by  Covenanters,  it  is  viewed  as  a  divine 
ordinance,  which  may  not  be  neglected. 

A  fourth  peculiarity  is  their  use  of  the  Book  of  Psalms,  to  the  exclusion  of  all  other 
compositions,  in  divine  worship;  a  tifch,  their  hostility  to  slavery;  a  sixth,  their  op- 
position to  certain  clauses  in  the  constitution  of  the  United  States,  as  not  making  the 
glory  of  God  the  chief  aim  of  government,  and  securing  liberty  only  to  a  portion  of 
the  inhabitants. 

The  strictness  of  their  discipline  has,  by  some,  been  considered  the  prominent  fea- 
ture ;  but  they  justify  it  on  the  basis  that  the  Church  cannot  insist  too  strenuously 
upon  all  points  affecting  her  eternal  interest. 

The  Society  is  represented  among  the  periodical  press,  by the  Reformed  Presbyterian, 
published  at  Pittsburg,  Pa. 

The  Church,  which  adopts  the  Westminster  Confession  and  Catechism,  has  a  theo- 
logical seminary  at  Cincinnati ;  about  52  ministers,  80  churches,  and  -4200  members

UNITED   BRETHREN  IN   CHRIST. 

This  society,  frequently  mistaken  for  that  of  the  Moravians,  was  founded,  in  1775, 
by  Wm,  Otterbein',  born  of  pious  parents  in  Germany,  where  he  stood  deservedly 
high  as  a  scholar  and  divine  of  the  German  Reformed  Church,  and  who  came  to  this 
country  in  1752,  and  entered  the  ministry  of  that  denomination,  in  Lancaster,  Pa. 
Entertaining  high  views  of  the  duties  of  the  sacred  office,  a  prayerful  and  constant 
reader  of  the  Scriptures,  he  ere  long  after  his  arrival  became  persuaded  of  the  neces- 
sity of  a  deeper  work  of  grace  than  he  had  hitherto  experienced,  and  he  rested  not 
till  his  soul  had  realized  the  New  Birtl^when,  burning  with  ardor  to  make  known 
the  need  of  this  to  all  who  would  be  saved,  he  bent  himself  to  the  ministry  with 
fresh  zeal,  preaching  with  a  persuasive  eloquence  that  roused  numbers  of  professing 
Christians  from  their  apathy,  and  excited  mnny  who  had  previously  cared  but  little 
for  religion,  to  an  active  interest  in  spiritual  things.  The  church  being  soon  found 
too  small  to  accommodate  all  who  wished  to  hear,  meetings  were  held  during  the 
evenings  of  the  week,  when  the  interest  becoming  general,  he  appointed  speciai 
meetings  for  prayer  and  religious  conversation,  which,  though  common  now,  had 
then  so  long  fallen  into  disuse  that  the  clergy  and  Christians  of  all  parties  in  that 
region  gravely  shook  their  heads  at  them  as  innovations  and  the  offspring  of  fanati- 
cism; while  those  attending  them  were  sneered  at  by  the  multitude,  and  viewed  by 
the  conservatively  pious  with  mingled  pity  and  suspicion.  Otterbein  continuing  to 
preach  the  doctrine  of  the  New  Birth — then  new  to  the  church,  particularly  among 
the  Germans — to  keep  up  the  prayer  and  conversation  meetings,  and  to  urge  the 
necessity  of  a  true  and  vital  repentance,  many  brethren,  ministerial  and  lay,  took 
offence,  pronounced  him  over  zealous,  fanatical,  erratic,  and  raised  against  him  in  the 
church  so  violent  a  clamor,  that  it  was  regarded  by  worthy  people  as  next  to  dis- 
graceful to  countenance  him  in  any  manner.  Still,  there  were  those  who  believed 
he  preached  only  truth,  and  these  stood  by  and  for  him.  The  doctrines  themselves, 
too,  reaching  to  the  surrounding  towns  and  counties,  brought  in  numbers  to  hear 
their  advocate,  who,  though  gravely  opposed  and  broadly  ridiculed,  still  preached  to 
overthronging  audieuces,  while  at  the  prayer  and  conversation  meetings  were  wit- 
nessed scenes  which,  in  more  modern  days,  fill  ministers  and  people  with  joy  and 
thanksgiving,  but,  in  those  of  Otterbein,  were  viewed  as  irregular  and  disorderly  by 
the  staid  and  conservative,  unaccustomed  to  the  sight  of  a  whole  lecture-room  of 
human  beings  anxious  concerning  their  future,  and  sobbingly  beseeching  God  to 
have  mercy  upon  them.  Otterbein  held  another  doctrine,  also,  which  brought  down 
upon  him  the  indignation  of  the  church,  viz.:  that  all,  of  whatever  denominational 
name,  who  loved  and  served  the  Lord,  and  felt  that  they  were  acknowledged  by  Him 
as  His  children,  should  and  might  meet  and  commune  together  freely  at  the  Lord's 
table.  This  was  resisted,  as  not  only  an  innovation  upon  the  established  order  of 
thiugs,  but  a  heresy  of  which  the  Church  had  long  before  been  purged.  The  synod 
of  which  he  was  a  member  called  him  to  trial,  found  him  guilty,  and  cast  him  off. 

He  was  now  adrift,  but  his  heart,  though  wounded  by  the  action  of  the  synod, 
failed  not.  He  sought  still  to  preach,  but  every  pulpit  was  shut  against  him.  The 
fields,  however,  were  free,  as  were  the  private  houses  and  barns  of  those  he  had 
been  instrumental  in  leading  to  a  knowledge  of  salvation.  In  these  he  preached,  and 
held  prayer  meetings.  Success  followed,  and  ere  long  public  halls  were  found  neces- 
sary for  the  accommodation  of  all  wdio  wished  to  attend.  These,  also,  were  by-and- 
by  found  inadequate,  and  meetings  were  appointed  in  the  fields,  to  which  camo 
persons  from  all  denominations.  The  interest  increased,  till  the  town,  the  suburbs, 
und  the  surrounding  counties  were  all  astir.     Meetings  were  appointed  in  different 


222  AMERICAS*  CBllJSttAS*  anwiro. 

towns  and  counties,  to  accommodate  anxious  multitudes  who  wished  to  hear  but 
could  not  come  to  Lancaster.  To  these  alao  came  men  of  every  name,  who  were 
surprised  to  hear  from  this  man,  whom  the  pious  and  conservative  had  denounced  aa 
a  fanatic,  sentiments  to  Which  they  could  heartily  subscribe.  Success  largely  attend- 
ing these  meetings,  Otterbein  travelled  extensively  through  the  neighboring  coun- 
ties, preaching  every  where,  and  every  where  establishing  men  in  the  faith.  At 
length  he  appointed  a  series  of  extensive  meetings,  to  which  came  Christians  of  every 
denomination.  At  the  first  of  these,  in  Lancaster  county,  Pennsylvania,  composed 
of  ministers  and  people  of  all  sects,  the  harmonising  influence  of  the  Spirit  in  uniting 
in  concord  and  christian  energy,  persons  of  so  many  beliefs,  gave  rise  to  the  name  of 
"  United  Brethren  " — -a  name  the  Church  subsequently  thought  proper  to  adopt.  The 
ministers  who  took  part  in  these  meetings,  *^jhich,  in  form  and  spirit,  were  like  mod* 
em  union  meetings  for  prayer,  exhortation  and  preaching,  were  sharply  reproved  by 
their  several  associations  and  presbyteries,  and  warned  against  repeating  the  offence; 
They  justified  themselves  on  the  ground  that  the  meetings  were  sanctioned  by  the 
Holy  Spirit,  as  was  proven  by  the  large  numbers  brought  to  Christ  at  them  ;*  and, 
therefore,  that  it  was  both  right  and  proper  to  take  part  in  them.  To  this  the  asso- 
ciations and  presbyteries  answered  by  repeating  their  warning.  The  pastors  dis- 
obeyed, and  were  cast  out. 

They  were  grieved,  but  not  utterly  bowed  down.  They  could  labor  for  souls,  as 
well  without,  as  with,  the  approbation  of  the  judicatories.  They  were  men  of  large 
hearts,  and  deeply  imbued  with  christian  zeal.  Success  followed  their  efforts ;  large 
numbers  were  brought  to  repentance  and  to  faith. 

They  were  shortly  aided  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Asbury,  sent  out  by  John  "Wesley,  to 
preach  and  organise  churches;  Mr.  Asbury  preaching  among  those  who  spoke  in  his 
own  tongue,  Otterbein  and  the  cast  out  preachers  to  the  Germans;  and  so  harmo- 
nious and  friendly  were  they  in  their  mutual  work,  that  they  were  sometimes  called, 
the  one  English,  and  the  other  German  Methodists;  though  the  latter,  at  the  time, 
anticipated  an  organisation  of  their  own. 

The  work  prospered:  numerous  societies  were  established  in  Maryland,  Pennsyh 
vauia  and  Virginia ;  and  at  length  it  became  necessary  to  come  to  some  system  of 
organisation.  Otterbein  and  his  co-laborers  nit-t  in  council,  and  subsequently,  at  a 
large  meeting,  it  was  resolved  to  hold  a  conference  in  the  city  of  Baltimore.  At  this 
conference,  held  in  May,  1789,  the  following  preachers  were  present:  Yv  in.  Otterbein, 
Martin  Boehm,  Geo.  A.  Geeting,  Christian  Newcomer,  Adam  Lohman.  Henry  Weid- 
ner,  and  John  Ernst.  Nothing  important  was  done,  however,  till  1800,  when  an 
annual  conference  was  appointed  at  Baltimore.  This  was  an  important  meeting  in 
the  history  of  the  Church,  which  was  organised  under  the  name  of  United  Bre'hren 
■in  Christ,  and  Otterbein  and  Martin  Boehm  elected  bishops,  or  superintendents.  The 
society  throve  rapidly,  both  in  preachers  and  people,  and  the  need  of  regulations  was 
felt;  to  meet  which,  it  was  decided  to  hold  a  general  conference  of  ministers,  elected 
from  among  the  preachers  by  members  of  the  whole  Church.  The  general  confer- 
ence was  held  in  1S15.  at  Mount  Pleasant,  Pa.,  where,  after  mature  deliberation,  a 
Discipline  was  submitted,  which  met  with  general  acceptance  and  adoption. 

The  Society  cannot  be  said  to  be  a  secession  from  other  churches,  but  a  general 
coming  together  of  persons  of  all  denominations  in  the  love  and  fear  of  God.  She 
presents  no  new  doctrine,  and  is  only  distinguished  from  most  by  an  organisation  in 
which  the  ministry  and  people  have  an  equal  proportion  of  power,  and  the  rulers 
hold  office  only  by  the  authority  and  consent  of  the  governed,  who  can  remove  them 
at  pleasure. 

Though  as  old  as  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  her  numbers  are  comparatively 
small,  owing  principally  to  the  fact  that,  till  within  a  few  years,  her  field  has  been 
chiefly  among  the  Germans. 


AMERICAS  CHRISTIAN  RECORD,  223 

Sli  >  lias  several  Home  Missionary  Societies;  and  takes  an  active  interest  in  Foreign 
Missions. 

She  takers  a  decided  ftand  against  secret  societies  of  every  description;  slaver)-, 
and  the  making,  selling,  and  drinking  of  ardent  spirits,  except  for  medicinal  and 
mechanical  purposes. 

Government, — -Her  ecclesiastical  courts  consist  of  cpiarterly.  annual,  and  general 
conferences;  and  her  officers  of  ministers  or  ordained  elders,  who  alone  exercise  the 
functions  of  the  ministry;  class-leaders;  stewards,  who  attend  to  the  pecuniary  wants 
of  the  ministers  ;  preachers-in-eharge.  who  each  have  the  oversight  of  one  circuit ; 
presiding  elders,  who  are  elected  by  the  annual  conference  from  among  the  ordained 
elders,  and  who  travel  over  a  certain  number  of  circuits,  preside  at  the  quarterly 
conferences,  and  see  that  all  the  laborers  in  their  respective  districts  faithfully  perform 
their  duties;  and  bishops,  or  general  superintendents  of  the  whole  Church,  who  pre- 
side at  all  annual  and  general  conferences.  The  annual  conferences  consist  of  all  the 
preachers  within  certain  local  bounds,  examine  the  labors  and  moral  standing  of  their 
members,  define  the  boundaries  of  circuits  and  stations,  receive  and  reject  applicants 
for  the  ministry,  station  preachers,  ordain  elders,  and  elect  presiding  elders. 
General  Conferences,  held  every  four  years,  are  composed  of  elders  elected  by  the 
laity,  and  are  presided  over  by  the  bishops. 

Her  preachers,  as  a  body,  are  remarkable  for  their  devotion  to  the  cause  for  which 

they  labor,  and  their  willingness  to  endure  all  things  for  the  sake  of  winning  souls, 

Earnest,  quiet,  persevering  and  without  pretension,  they  more  closely  resemble  the 

-denying  Moravian  missionaries  than  any  other,  and  cannot  be  esteemed  too  highly 

for  their  labors  or  their  personal  worth. 

Working  modestly  and  in  silence,  the  church  is  rarely  heard  of  outside  of  her  own 
circles;  but  she  has  none  the  less  success  for  this.  Her  doctrines  may  be  briefly 
summed  up  a.^  follows: 

1.  They  believe  in  the  only  true  God,  the  Father,  Son.  and  Holy  Ghost ;  that  these 
three  are  one.  the  Father  in  the  Son,  the  Son  in  the  Father,  and  the  Holy  Ghost  equal 
in  essence  or  being  with  both.  That  this  triune  God  created  the  heavens  and  the 
earth,  and  all  that  in  them  is,  visible  as  well  as  invisible,  and  sustains,  governs  and 
supports  the  s.v 

2.  They  believe  in  Jesus  Christ,  that  he  is  very  God  and  man;  that  he  became  in- 
carnate by  the  Holy  Ghost  in  the  Virgin  Mary,  and  was  born  of  her;  that  he  is  the 
Saviour  and  Mediator  of  the  whole  human  race,  if  they  with  full  faith  accept  the  grace 
proffered  in  Jesus.  That  this  Jesus  suffered  and  died  on  the  cross  for  us ;  was  buried, 
and  rose  on  the  third  day.  ascended  into  heaven,  and  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God 
to  intercede  for  us.  and  that  he  shall  come  again  at  the  last  day  to  judge  the  quick 
and  dead. 

?,.  They  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  that  he  is  equal  in  being  with  the  Father  and 
Son ;  aud  that  he  comforts  the  faithful,  and  guides  them  into  all  truth. 

4.  They  believe  in  a  Holy  Christian  Church,  the  communion  of  saints,  the  resur- 
rection of  the  body,  and  life  everlasting. 

5.  The  believe  that  the  Holy  Bible.  Old  and  Xew  Testaments,  is  the  word  of  God; 
that  it  contains  the  only  true  way  to  our  salvation ;  that  every  true  Christian  is 
bound  to  receive  it  with  the  influence  of  the  Spirit  of  God,  as  the  only  rule  and  guide; 
that  without  faith  in  Jesus  Christ,  true  repentance,  forgiveness  of  sins,  and  following 
after  Christ,  no  one  can  be  a  true  Christian. 

G.  They  believe  that  the  fall  in  Adam  and  redemption  through  Jesus  Christ,  shall 
be  preached  throughout  the  world. 

7.  They  believe,  also,  that  the  ordinances,  namely  :  baptism,  and  the  remembrance 
of  the  sufferings  and  death  of  Christ,  are  to  be  in  use.  and  practised  by  all  Christian 
societies,  but  the  manner  of  which  ought  always  to  be  left  to  the  judgment  of  every 


2-24  AMERICAN*   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

individual.     The  example  of  washing  the  saints'  feet  is  left  to  the  judgment  of  all  to 
practise  or  not. 


SPIRITUALISTS. 

Those  calling  themselves  by  this  name  believe  in  the  moral  teachings  of  Christ,  in 
the  free  agency  of  man,  and  in  the  ability  of  every  one  to  communicate  freely,  through 
human  media,  in  a  state  of  trance,  with  disembodied  spirits.  They  have  a  consider* 
able  number  of  lecturers,  eleven  periodicals  of  various  merit^  and  a  few  writers  of 
moderate  eminence.  They  hold  meetings  at  public  halls  in  the  leading  cities,  for 
lectures  on  miscellaneous  topics,  and,  in  New  York  and  Boston,  permanent  conven- 
tions, for  the  avowed  object  of  discussing  whether  the  so-called  manifestations  pro- 
ceed from  spirits  or  not— a  question  not  yet  satisfactorily  determined.  The  subject 
some  years  since  attracted  considerable  attention,  which  has  since  largely  abated  ; 
though  this  is  denied  by  Spiritualists  themselves,  or  at  least  not  a  few  of  them,  who 
maintain  that  it  has  settled  down  upon  a  solid  basis,  and  may  now  be  fairly  consid- 
ered as  destined  to  permanence.  They  claim  several  millions  of  real  and  inclined 
believers,  in  the  United  States,  the  British  Provinces,  and  South  America;  but  with 
the  most  careful  inquiry,  in  quarters  most  likely  to  know,  and  a  liberal  allowance  for 
reported  believers,  of  whom  we  can  discover  no  trace,  we  cannot  bring  the  figures  up 
to  200,000  ;  though  we  have  no  doubt  many  in  their  ranks  will  feel  wounded  by  this 
estimate,  which,  however,  we  believe  to  be  even  higher,  by  a  few  thousands,  than 
the  real  number.  Certain  it  is,  we  have  spared  no  pains  to  get  at  the  facts,  and  the 
result  is  as  stated.  The  literature  of  the  society — which  has  no  confession  of  faith  as 
such,  no  constitution,  and  only  adhering  apparently  by  common  consent — is  compara- 
tively extensive,  but  appears  to  be  drawn  mainly  from  the  Great  Harmonia  of  its 
chief  writer,  Mr.  Andrew  Jackson  Davis;  the  alleged  facts  in  the  controversial  works 
of  Mr.  S.  B.  Brittain,  a  gentleman  of  high  intellectual  powers;  and  the  Herald  of 
Ugh',  a  periodical  edited  by  Mr.  T.  L.  Harris.  In  some  respects,  the  society  has 
been  misrepresented — innocently,  we  trust.  Its  members  have  been  charged  as  a 
body  with  countenancing  Free  Love  doctrines;  a  mistake  probably  arising  from  the 
fact  that  most  Free  Lovers — whose  total  number  in  the  United  States  we  cannot,  by 
any  possibility,  with  the  utmost  inquiry  and  liberality  of  margin,  bring  up  to  800 — 
are  also  believers  in  Spiritualism.  The  lecturers,  who  are  numerous,  are  of  both 
sexes,  and  profess,  with  few  exceptions,  to  speak  in  a  state  of  trance.  With  the  ex- 
ception of  Messrs.  A.  J.  Davis,  S.  B.  Brittain,  T.  L.  Harris,  J.  W.  Edmonds,  Joel 
Tiffany,  J.  II.  W.  Tookej-,  and  John  Pierrepont,  the  society,  as  yet,  has  brought  to 
the  surface  but  few  persons,  either  as  writers  or  speakers,  of  positive  talent. 


UNITED  SOCIETY  OF  BELIEVERS,  OR  SHAKERS. 

This  society  owes  its  existence  to  the  Camisards,  or  French  Prophets,  of  both 
sexes,  who  first  appeared  in  Dauphiny  and  Vivarias,  France,  in  1688,  professing  to 
be  inspired  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  predicting  the  near  approach  of  the  kingdom  of  God, 
the  happy  times  of  the  church,  and  the  millennial  state,  and  preaching  as  their  mes- 
sage the  acceptable  year  of  the  Lord.     Soon  amounting  to  many  thousands,  their  as- 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  225 

semblies,  composed  in  some  cases  of  only  four  or  five  hundred  persons,  but  in  others 
of  three  or  four  thousand,  presented  a  singular  sight.  When  under  the  impulse  of 
what  they  believed  to  be  the  spirit  of  prophecy,  they  trembled,  staggered,  fell  down, 
and  lay  as  if  dead.  They  recovered,  twitching,  shaking,  and  crying  for  mercy.  In 
1705,  three  of  the  most  distinguished  of  their  number,  Elias  Marlon,  John  Cavilier, 
and  Durand  Fage,  proceeded,  as  missionaries,  to  England,  where  they  had  consider- 
able success,  numbering  within  a  year  from  two  to  three  hundred  followers  of  both 
sexes.  For  a  time  they  had  no  organisation;  but  in  1747,  a  society  was  established 
without  any  particular  creed  or  mode  of  worship,  professing  perfect  resignation  and 
willingness  to  be  led  from  time  to  time  as  the  Spirit  might  dictate.  Some  years  after, 
a  married  woman  of  a  strong  will  and  very  positive  nature,  named  Ann  Stanley, 
joined  the  society,  in  which  her  piety,  bold  mind  and  general  energy,  soon  made  her 
a  prominent  and  popular  member.  Twelve  years  afterward,  that  is,  in  1770,  she  pub- 
licly claimed  to  have  received  from  the  Holy  Spirit,  a  revelation  against  the  carnal 
nature  of  the  flesh  as  the  root  of  human  depravity  and  tho  source  of  the  fall  of  man. 
Her  testimony  on  this  subject  made  such  an  impression  that  it  was  received  as  be- 
yond dispute,  the  true  gospel  of  Christ's  second  appearing.  From  this  time,  she  was 
received  by  the  prophets  as  their  spiritual  mother  in  Christ  and  the  leader  Grod  had 
appointed  for  the  society.  A  few  years  later,  she  claimed  to  have  received  a  second 
revelation  from  the  Holy  Spirit,  to  emigrate  to  America,  where  a  great  increase  and 
permanent  establishment  awaited  the  church,  and  she  immediately  made  preparations 
for  the  voyage,  in  which  she  was  joined  by  nine  persons,  including  her  husband  and 
a  niece. 

The  party  settled,  in  1776,  in  the  town  of  "Watervliet,  New  York,  where  they  re- 
mained in  retirement  till  1780,  when  they  were  joined  by  a  few  others  of  the  society 
from  England,  and  by  several  from  the  adjoining  counties  and  states,  from  which 
time  their  number  gradually  increased.  In  1784,  Mother  Ann  died,  and  was  suc- 
ceeded in  the  leading  authority  by  James  Whittaker,  one  of  the  original  emigrants, 
who  was  received  as  her  true  successor  and  known  by  the  title  of  Father  James,  un- 
der whose  administration  the  church  increased  in  zeal  and  numbers,  and  attained 
some  importance  as  a  sect.  In  July,  1787,  he  deceased,  and  was  succeeded  in  office 
by  Joseph  Meacham,  of  Enfield,  and  formerly  a  Baptist  elder  and  preacher.  Under 
Father  Joseph,  the  members  of  the  society,  who  had  hitherto  been  scattered,  in  1787 
were  gathered  into  united  communities.  The  Church  was  established  at  New  Le- 
banon, Columbia  county,  as  a  common  centre  of  union,  and  is  still  the  Mother 
Church  of  the  Society,  being,  in  the  estimation  of  the  members,  the  first  that  was 
constituted  in  gospel  order.  From  1787  to  1792,  regular  societies  were  established 
in  the  Eastern  States,  where  the  principles  of  the  church  appeared  to  be  received 
with  unusual  favor.  Father  Joseph  died  in  1796,  vesting  the  leading  authority,  by 
divine  direction,  in  a  ministry,  consisting  of  four  persons,  two  of  each  sex,  confirmed 
in  their  appointment  by  the  approbation  of  the  general  members ;  since  when,  no  par- 
ticular event  calling  for  special  mention  has  transpired  in  the  society's  history. 

Peculiirities. — The  members  lead  a  life  of  singleness,  and  regard  a  life  of  virgin 
purity  as  in  accordance  with  the  example  of  Christ,  and  the  recommendation  and 
example  of  Paul. 

They  abstain  from  all  participation  in  politics,  believing  that  the  kingdom  of 
Christ  is  not  of  this  world. 

They  are  opposed  to  all  wars  and  bloodshed,  believing  that  to  follow  peace  with 
all  men  is  a  divine  precept  not  to  be  set  aside. 

They  avoid  all  pursuits  of  pride  and  worldly  ambition. 

The  society  is  divided  into  separate  communities,  called  families,  who  own  and 
share  all  the  property  and  products  in  common. 

Communities. — Members  of  the  society  live  in  one  or  other  of  the  communities  or

not,  as  they  themselves  elect.  Those  who  live  out  of  the  communities  are  free  to 
attend  the  community  meetings  for  communion,  worship,  and  religious  instruction. 
Before  they  can  become  members  of  any  community  of  the  society,  they  must  first 
pay  all  their  debts,  make  good  all  wrongs  to  others,  become  recouciled,  if  possible, 
to  their  enemies,  and  agree  to  come  under  the  rules  of  the  society.  They  may  or 
not,  as  they  choose,  put  their  property,  or  any  part  thereof,  into  the  common  fund ; 
but  having  once  put  it  in,  they  cannot  again  withdraw  it. 

No  one  in  a  community  receives  any  thing  for  his  labor,  but  the  supply  of  his  daily 
wants  and  his  interest  in  the  common  stock,  which  ceases  with  his  death  and  his 
withdrawal  from  the  society. 

On  becoming  a  member  of  a  family,  every  person  is  secured  by  contract  for  an 
ample  provision  in  health,  sickness,  and  old  age.  This  guarantee  is  given  in-  con- 
sideration of  his  services  in  time  of  health  and  ability  to  labor.  Parties  entering 
on  this  contract,  may,  at  their  option,  give  the  improvement  of  any  part,  or  all  their 
property,  to  the  use  of  the  family.  Such  property  may  be  reclaimed  at  any  time, 
according  to  the  contract ;  but  no  interest  can  be  demanded  for  the  use  thereof. 
Parties  entering  on  this  contract  may,  also,  retain  their  property  for  any  length  of 
time  satisfactory  to  themselves ;  but  if,  after  having  sufficiently  proved  the  principles 
of  the  society,  they  choose  to  present  it  as  a  contribution  to  the  common  fund,  they 
cannot  afterward  reclaim  it. 

The  management  of  the  temporal  affairs  of  each  family  is  vested  in  trustees,  ap- 
pointed by  the  ministry  and  elders.  These  hold  the  title  of  all  the  property  in  the 
name  and  for  the  use  of  the  society,  and  all  their  transactions  must  be  in  the  name 
and  for  the  benefit  of  the  joint  members.  They  cannot  contract  any  debts  in  behalf 
of  the  society,  and  are  responsible  in  all  things  affecting  their  official  conduct  to  the 
leading  authority. 

Members. — Persons  are  not  permitted  to  unite  with  the  society  without  a  full  un- 
derstanding of  all  the  obligations  of  membership.  No  believing  husband  or  wife  is 
allowed  to  separate  from  the  unbelieving  one,  except  by  mutual  consent,  unless  the 
conduct  of  the  unbelieving  one  is  such  as  to  justify  a  separation  by  the  laws  of  God 
and  man.  Nor  can  any  husband  or  wife,  who  has  abandoned  his  or  her  partner, 
except  as  above  stated,  be  received  into  the  society. 

No  person  can  be  received  into  the  society  without  having  first  discharged  all  his 
debts  to  creditors  and  all  legal  claims  of  filial  heirs,  or  make  provision  to  that  end. 

The  society  is  not  responsible  for  the  debts  of  individual  members,  except  by 
agreement ;  and  it  insists  that  in  the  distribution  of  parental  property  among  heirs, 
an  equal  dividend  must  be  made,  according  to  reason  and  justice,  whether  the  heirs 
are  members  of  the  society  or  not.  If  an  unbelieving  wife  separate  from  a  believing 
husband,  by  agreement,  the  latter  must  give  her  a  just  and  reasonable  portion  of  his 
property ;  and  if  they  have  children  of  sufficient  understanding  to  judge  for  them- 
selves who  choose  to  go  with  their  mother,  he  must  not  disinherit  them  on  that 
account. 

Idleness  is  not  allowed  in  the  society.  No  member,  able  .to  labor,  is  permitted  to 
live  upon  the  industry  of  others. 

The  sexes  dwell  in  separate  buildings,  each  under  the  supervision  of  an  elder  of 
their  sex. 

Every  member  in  a  family  is  amply  provided  for  in  clothing,  food  and  other  neces- 
saries ;  and  order,  simplicity  and  cleanliness  reign  throughout. 

Every  family  has  a  well-selected  library,  to  which  all  have  free  access  in  common. 

Whatever  can  conduce  to  general  comfort  and  content,  is  carefully  studied  and 
provided,  if  compatible  with  the  general  regulations. 

Children. — No  children  are  taken  under  the  charge  of  the  society,  except  by  the 
consent  of  the  children  themselves  and  of  those  who,  as  parents  or  guardians,  have 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  227 

the  legal  control  of  them.  Parents  joining  the  society  are  not  required  to  give  up 
their  children,  nor  are  the  latter  always  accepted  when  offered.  Very  few  children 
are  received,  in  proportion  to  the  applications. 

Children,  in  the  society,  are  treated  with  care  and  tenderness,  and  so  trained  as  to 
develope  their  best  qualities.  They  are  well  educated  in  the  usual  English  branches, 
and  when  they  evince  a  particular  talent,  their  education  is  proportionately  extended. 
They  are  carefully  taught  the  Scriptures,  particularly  those  of  the  New  Testament, 
and  are  invariably  brought  up  to  manual  labor,  that  they  may  be  enabled  to  obtain 
a  livelihood,  whether  they  remain  with  the  society  or  not. 

Officers. — The  general  society  is  under  the  authority  of  a  ministry,  consisting  of 
four  persons,  two  of  each  sex.  Each  community,  in  temporal  affairs,  is  under  the 
direction  of  two  trustees ;  in  spiritual  matters,  under  male  and  female  elders,  who, 
with  deacons  and  care-takers,  constitute  the  officers  of  the  Church. 

Worship. — The  manner  of  worship  is  peculiar  and  various.  The  society  believe 
that  as  God  has  given  men  hands  and  feet  as  well  as  tongues  for  their  own  service, 
they  know  of  no  reason  why  they  should  not  give  to  Him  the  devotion  of  every  active 
power  of  body  and  soul  as  a  free-will  offering.  When  the  Israelites  were  delivered 
from  the  bondage  of  the  Egyptians,  they  praised  God  with  songs  and  dances,  which 
was  figurative  of  the  deliverance  of  spiritual  Israel  from  the  bondage  of  sin.  This 
dancing  before  the  Lord,  was,  too,  predicted  by  the  ancient  prophets.  David  danced 
before  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  which  they  consider  figurative  of  the  spiritual  ark  of  sal- 
vation, before  which,  they  believe,  thousands  will  yet  rejoice  in  the  dance.  In  wor- 
ship, therefore,  they  exercise  the  whole  body ;  sometimes  in  a  regular  dance  while 
formed  in  straight  lines ;  sometimes  by  marching  around  the  room,  with  singing, 
shouting,  and  clapping  of  hands ;  sometimes  by  leaping  up,  whirling  round,  etc. 
They  have  no  regular  physical  movements  in  worship  ;  the  exercises  at  each  meeting 
being,  as  they  believe,  suggested  by  the  Spirit,  whose  operations  are  so  various  that 
even  the  leaders  do  not  know  what  will  be  the  form  of  the  exercises  from  meeting  to 
meeting. 

Special  Gifts. — They  claim  a  diversity  of  gifts  not  common  to  the  Church.  For 
example :  the  gift  of  speaking  in  unknown  tongues,  as  being  often  and  extensively 
witnessed ;  the  gift  of  melodious  and  heavenly  songs ;  the  gift  of  prophecy ;  and 
the  gift  of  healing,  by  word  of  mouth,  and  laying  on  of  hands,  which,  however,  though 
often  witnessed,  is  not  so  frequent  as  many  others.

Eelijims  Beliefs. — They  believe  that  Mother  Ann  was  chosen  to  usher  into  the 
world  the  divine  spirit  of  Christ,  and  thus  prepare  the  way  for  his  second  appear- 
ance. That  this  Spirit,  in  divine  elements  of  power  and  light,  now  dwells  in  his 
Church,  which  is  his  visible  body.  That  this  Christ,  viz:  the  Church,  in  the  com- 
pleted order  of  Father  and  Mother,  can  be  found  by  every  one  willing  to  give  up  all 
to  him,  the  pearl  of  great  price.  That  this  is  the  everlasting  gospel,  which  will 
extend  through  the  world  by  increasing  degrees  till  it  establishes  the  Kingdom  of  the 
Saints  of  the  Most  High,  to  stand  for  ever.  That  their's  is  the  only  gospel  church. 
That  the  human  body  is  not  the  proper  subject  of  the  true  resurrection  ;  but  that  the 
true  resurrection  is  the  passing  from  the  first  Adam  into  the  second,  which  is  tho 
same  as  regeneration  and  is  a  progressive  work. 

PARTICULAR   TENETS. 

They  believe  in  four  great  dispensations,  in  which  the*  light  of  salvation  was  suc- 
cessively given  to  the  Church. 

The  first  light  of  dispensation  was  that  given  to  the  patriarchs,  in  the  promise  of 
a  Saviour.  Those  who  in  this  dispensation  had  faith  in  the  promise  and  obeyed 
God,  were  accounted  righteous  and  of  his  Church.  This  dispensation  was  as  waters 
to  the  ankles. 

The  second  light  of  dispensation  was  the  Law  given,  through  Moses,  to  Israel, 
which  was  a  further  manifestation  of  the  promise,  and  was  as  waters  to  the  knees. 
Those  who,  in  this  dispensation,  had  faith  in  the  promise,  viewed  the  ceremonial 
law  as  but  a  shadow  of  Christ's  coming  and  work  of  redemption,  and  performed  the 
will  of  God,  were  accounted  righteous  and  worthy  of  salvation. 

The  third  light  of  dispensation  was  the  actual  coming — the  first  appearance  of 
Christ  in  the  flesh,  and  his  work  of  redemption,  which  was  as  waters  to  the  loins. 
All  who  took  up  a  full  cross  against  the  world,  the  flesh  and  the  devil,  found  the 
resurrection  from  the  dead  and  eternal  salvation  in  that  dispensation.  As  Christ 
had  in  himself  the  power  of  salvatiou  to  all  that  obeyed  him,  he,  on  the  day  of  Pente- 
cost, committed  power  and  authority  to  the  Church  as  his  body  to  administer  tho 
power  of  God  to  as  many  as  believed,  and  to  remit  and  retain  sins ;  so  that  they 
who  believed,  denied  all  worldly  lust,  and  were  obedient,  became  dead  to  the  law, 
and  were  in  the  travail  of  the  resurrection — that  is,  in  the  process  of  regeneration,  or 
transformation  from  the  carnal  condition  of  the  first  Adam  into  the  sinless  nature  of  tho 
second.  But,  as  the  character  of  that  dispensation  was  only  as  waters  to  the  loins, 
the  mystery  of  God  was  not  finished;  and  another  day  was  predicted  for  the  second 
appear?nce  of  Christ  and  the  final  display  of  God's  grace,  when  the  mystery  should 
be  finished.  But  before  that  day  came,  there  should  be  a  falling  away  from  the 
faith,  and  Anti-Christ  was  to  reign,  whom  Christ  should  destroy  with  the  spirit  of 
his  mouth  and  the  brightness  of  his  appearance.  This  falling  away  began  soon  aftd. 
the  Apostles,  and  gradually  increased  until  about  four  hundred  and  fifty-seven, 
when  the  power  of  the  holy  people — the  Church  of  Christ — was  scattered  or  lost,  by 
reason  that  transgression,  or  Anti-Christ,  or  false  religion,  became  established.  Since 
then,  tho  witnesses  of  Christ  have  prophesied  in  sackcloth,  or  under  darkness,  even 
to  the  laying  down  of  their  lives,  for  their  testimony-  But  it  is  written  that  all  who 
livo  in  Christ  Jesus  shall  be  persecuted.     Anti-Christ  has  burnt,   tortured,  hunted 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  229 

and  slain  the  Church  of  Christ ;  for  the  true  Church  of  Christ,  harmless,  inoffensive 
and  separate  from  sin,  never  persecuted  any.  The  true  Church  of  Christ,  taking  up 
their  cross  against  the  world,  the  flesh,  the  devil,  and  all  sin,  live  in  obedience  to 
God,  and  earnestly  contend  for  the  faith.  Therefore  it  may  be  easily  seen  and 
known  where  the  true  church  is. 

The  fourth  light  of  dispensation  is  the  second  appearance  of  Christ,  or  the  last 
display  of  God's  grace,  in  which  the  mystery  of  God  will  be  finished.  This  dispen- 
sation, according  to  prophecy,  began  in  the  year  1747,  and  was  ushered  in  before  a 
number,  by  the  manifestation  of  great  light  and  mighty  tremblings,  by  the  invisible 
power  of  God,  and  by  visions,  revelations,  miracles,  and  prophecies.  These  mani- 
festations or  gifts  have  progressively  increased,  and  are  of  those  which  were  poured 
out  on  the  day  of  Pentecost,  and  were  promised  to  abide  with  Christ's  Church  to 
the  end  of  the  world.  By  these  we  find  baptism  into  Christ's  death,  and  the  power 
of  Christ's  resurrection,  which  worketh  in  us  mightily.  As  the  Church  of  Christ,  a 
dispensation  of  the  gospel  is  committed  unto  us;  and  wo  unto  us  if  we  preach  not 
the  gospel ;  for  in  sending  so  great  a  salvation  and  deliverance  from  the  law  of  sin 
and  death — in  believing  and  obeying  this  gospel — in  confessing  and  forsaking  all  sin 
— in  denying  ourselves,  and  bearing  Christ's  cross  against  the  world,  the  flesh,  and 
the  devil — we  have  found  forgiveness  of  all  sins,  and  been  made  partakers  of  the 
grace  of  God,  wherein  we  now  stand;  which  all  others,  in  believing  and  obeying, 
have  acceptance  with  God,  and  find  salvation  as  well  as  we:  God  being  no  respecter 
of  persons,  but  willing  that  all  men  should  come  to  the  truth  and  be  saved. 


UNIVERSALTSTS. 

This  society  rose  in  England  about  1750,  under  the  ministry  of  the  Rev.  John 
Kelly,  who  gathered  the  first  church  of  believers  in  its  doctrines  in  the  city  of  Lon- 
don. Its  sentiments  were  first  introduced  into  America  by  Mr.  John  Murray,  who 
had  been  converted  from  Methodism  by  the  discourses  of  Mr.  Kelly,  and  who  emi- 
grated to  this  country  in  1770,  and  soon  after  commenced  preaching  in  the  leading 
towns  of  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  New  York,  New  Jersey,  and  Pennsylvania. 
After  itinerating  several  years,  he  settled  in  Gloucester,  Massachusetts,  where  the 
first  Universalist  Society  was  organised,  in  1779.  Shortly  previous  to  this,  other 
preachers  of  the  doctrines  rose  in  various  parts  of  New  England,  some  of  whom  or- 
ganised societies  as  early  as  1780.  Among  these  were  Adam  Streeter,  Caleb  Rich, 
and  Thomas  Barnes.  Another  of  the  early  preachers  was  Elhanan  "Winchester,  cele- 
brated as  a  Calvinistic  Baptist  minister,  and  who  was  converted  to  Universahsm  at 
Philadelphia,  in  1781.  He  proved  a  valuable  acquisition,  and  divided  with  Mr.  Mur- 
ray the  honor  of  efficiency  in  building  up  the  Church.  The  most  of  these  differed 
from  Mr.  Murray  upon  many  points ;  but  all  were  harmonious  in  the  great  leading 
doctrines  of  the  Church. 

All  moved  smoothly  for  a  short  time,  and  the  prospects  of  the  young  Church  were 
looking  bright,  when  they  were  unexpectedly  assailed  by  the  Calvanistic  pulpits, 
which  launched  their  thunders  out  against  her,  loudly  and  fiercely.  Her  doctrines 
were  scoffed  at,  her  ministers  branded  as  agents  of  the  evil  one,  and  her  people  as 
deliberate  apostates  from  the  truth.  Had  a  thunderbolt  fallen  at  her  feet,  the  young 
Church  could  not  have  been  more  astounded.  Living  in  conscious  concord  with  all 
men,  unconscious  of  wrong  to  any,  pursuing  their  avocations  honestly  and  indus- 
triously, and  conducting  themselves  in  all  things  with  a  due  regard  to  the  rights  of 


230  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

others  as  their  own,  her  preachers  and  members  could  scarcely  realise  the  savage 
onslaught.  This,  however,  was  only  the  beginning.  The  opposing  pulpits  keeping 
up  the  attack,  a  deep  prejudice  against  the  new  Church  sank  by  degrees  into  the 
heart  of  the  public,  which  shortly  began  to  show  itself.  The  preachers  and  mem- 
bers were  every  where  impudently  insulted.  Mobs,  gathered  at  corners,  mocked  and 
shouted  at  them  on  their  way  to  worship.  In  New  Hampshire  and  Massachusetts, 
prosecutions  were  instituted  against  them  to  compel  them  to  support  the  established 
sects,  and  efforts  made  to  render  illegal  the  marriages  solemnised  by  their  ministers. 
"Whatever  could  humiliate,  annoy  and  harrass  them ;  whatever  promised  to  shame  or 
terrify  the  public  from  countenancing  them  in  any  manner,  was  pushed  forward  with 
a  spirit  and  feeling  not  to  be  conceived  of  by  Christian  minds  of  to-day. 

At  length,  in  self-defence,  the  young  Church  met  in  convention,  by  delegates,  at 
Oxford,  Mass.,  September  14,  1785,  and  took  the  denominational  name  of  "Inde- 
pendent Christian  Universalists."  At  a  subsequent  General  Convention,  in  1803, 
she  adopted  a  confession  of  faith,  for  the  purpose  of  complying  with  a  legal  enact- 
ment and  making  known  what  they  believed.  Legal  persecution  now  ceased ;  but 
that  of  the  unfriendly  pulpits  was  still  kept  up,  without,  however,  being  successful  in 
exciting  their  people  to  further  violence,  and  with  the  passage  of  time,  the  young 
Church  became  indifferent  to  their  hostility.  The  confession  of  faith  adopted  at  the 
latter  convention,  was  in  these  words : 

"  1.  "We  believe  that  the  Holy  Scriptures  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  contain 
a  revelation  of  the  character  and  will  of  God,  and  of  the  duty,  interest,  and  final 
destination  of  mankind. 

" 2.  We  believe  that  there  is  one  God,  whose  nature  is  love;  revealed  in  one  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  by  one  Holy  Spirit  of  Grace,  who  will  finally  restore  the  whole  family 
of  mankind  to  holiness  and  happiness. 

"3.  "We  believe  that  holiness  and  true  happiness  are  inseparably  connected ;  and 
believers  ought  to  maintain  order,  and  practice  good  works,  for  these  things  are 
profitable  unto  men." 

In  this  brief,  broad  compend  of  belief,  which  has  never  been  altered,  and  is  per- 
fectly satisfactory,  the  Church  remained  tranquil  till  1827,  when  a  few  took  excep- 
tion to  the  doctrine  of  no  punishment  after  death,  and  finally  seceded,  organising 
anew  under  the  name  of  "  Universal  Eestorationists." 

In  1833,  the  General  Convention  was  changed  to  the  General  Convention  of  the 
United  States,  which  it  still  preserves.     Its  powers  are  purely  advisory. 

In  1819,  the  first  Universalist  periodical,  the  UmversaUst  Magazine,  was  com- 
menced in  Boston,  Mass.,  with  less  than  1,000  subscribers.  It  was  subsequently 
united  with  The  Trumpet,  and  is  now  published  under  the  title  of  The  'Trumpet  and 
Universalist  Magazine. 

The  first  society  in  Massachusetts  was  gathered  in  1779  ;  the  first  house  of  worship 
built  in  1780  ;  the  first  association  organised  in  IS  16.  h\  Maine,  the  first  society 
was  established  in  1799;  the  first  meeting-house,  in  1804;  the  first  association,  in 
1800.  In  New  Hampshire,  the  first  society,  in  1781  ;  the  first  meeting-house,  in 
1808;  the  first  association,  in  1824.  Jn  Vermont,  the  first  society,  in  1795;  the 
first  association,  in  1804.  In  New  York,  the  first  society,  in  1805;  the  first  meet- 
ing-house, in  1815;  the  first  association,  in  1806.  In  Pennsylvania,  the  first  society, 
in  1781;  the  first  meeting-house,  in  1808;  the  first  association,  in  1829.  The 
Church  is  very  extensive  in  the  Eastern,  Middle  and  Western  States,  where  its  doc- 
trines find  ready  receivers,  generally  noticeable  for  the  liberality  of  their  sentiments 
and  purses,  their  genial  and  fraternal  spirit,  their  comprehensive  intelligence,  their 
integrity  as  citizens,  and  generosity  to  the  poor.  In  the  South,  the  progress  of  the 
Church  has  been  slow. 

The  society  takes  an  active  interest  in  missions,  education,  and  literature,  and  on  all 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  231 

subjects  identified  with  the  interests  of  humanity  may  be  regarded  as  conservatively 
progressive. 

Among  the  notable  literary  productions  which  its  tenets  have  drawn  forth,  are : 
"Townsend's  Gospel  News,"    "  Young's  Calvinism  and  Universalism  Contrasted," 
"  Winchester's  Dialogues,"  ''  Ballou's  Treatise  on  Atonement,"  "  Smith  on  Divine 
Government,"  "Mitchell's  Christian  Universal  is  t,"  "Balfour's  Inquiries,"  "Murray's* 
Life  and  Works,"  "  Streeter's  Familiar  Conversations,"  "Siegvolk's  Everlasting  Gos-i 
pel,"  "  Whittemore  on  the  Parables,"  and  "  Petitpierre  on  Divine  Goodness." 

Among  its  numerous  periodicals,  the  Christian  Ambassador,  of  New  York,  The 
Trumpet  and  Universalist  Magazine,  of  Boston,  and  the  Christian  Freeman  and  Family 
Visitor,  of  the  same  city,  are  fair  exponents  of  its  views,  and  contribute  not  a  little 
to  its  permanence  and  success. 


UNIVERSAL  RESTORATIONISTS. 

Universal  Restorationists  are  a  secession  from  the  Universalist  Convention,  which, 
for  the  first  twenty-five  years,  believed  in  a  future  retribution,  from  which  it  was 
persuaded  by  the  Rev.  Hosea  Ballou,  who  held  that  all  retribution  is  confined  to  this 
world.  Subsequently,  some  ministers  claimed  that  the  whole  man,  body  and  soul, 
died  a  temporal  death,  and  that  the  resurrection  was  the  instrumentality  which 
would  introduce  all  men  into  heavenly  felicity.  A  minority  protested  against  these 
sentimeuts,  but  finding  the  majority  against  them,  and  that  their  opposition  only 
served  to  keep  the  Church  in  a  ferment,  without  accomplishing  any  good,  they 
finally  withdrew  from  the  society,  and,  at  a  convention  of  ministers  and  laymen,  in 
the  village  of  Mendon,  Mass.,  August  17,  1831,  formed  themselves  into  a  distinct  de- 
nomination, under  the  name  of  Universal  Restorationists. 

The  ministerial  members  of  this  convention  were  Paul  Dean,  David  Pickering, 
Charles  Hudson,  Adin  Ballou,  Lyman  Maynard,  Nathaniel  Wright,  Philemon  R. 
Russell,  and  Seth  Chandler,  whose  number  was  subsequently  added  to  by  accessions 
of  six  or  seven  clergymen,  nearly  all  of  whom  represented  established  societies. 

The  Church  is  congregational  in  government ;  agrees  with  Unitarians  in  respect  to 
the  Godhead,  atonement,  and  free  will ;  maintains  that  baptism — which  it  does  not  view 
as  a  saving  ordinance — may  be  administered  by  immersion,  suffusion,  or  sprinkling, 
either  to  adults  or  infants ;  and,  while  admitting  the  right  of  every  society  to  manage 
its  own  affairs,  does  not  recognise  the  right  of  any  church  to  exclude  believers  of 
other  denominations  from  the  table  of  the  Lord. 

The  difference  between  Restorationists  and  Universalists  lies  principally  in  the 
subject  of  a  future  retribution.  The  latter  hold  that  a  full  and  perfect  retribution 
takes  place  on  earth ;  that  man's  conduct  in  time  does  not  affect  his  condition  in 
eternity ;  and  that,  at  death,  he  becomes  pure  and  happy.  The  former  believe  that 
a  just  retribution  does  not  take  place  in  time;  -that  the  conscience  of  the  sinner  does 
not  increase  in  the  severity  of  its  reproaches  with  the  increase  of  guilt ;  that  men  are 
invited  to  act  with  reference  to  the  future;  that  if  all  are  made  happy  at  the  com- 
mencement of  spirit  life,  they  are  not  rewarded  according  to  their  deeds ;  that  if  death 
introduces  them  into  heaven,  they  are  saved  by  death  and  not  by  Christ ;  and  that  if 
they  are  made  happy  by  being  raised  from  the  dead,  they  are  saved  by  physical,  not 
moral  means — a  sentiment  that  weakens  the  motives  to  virtue,  gives  encouragement 
to  vice,  is  unreasonable  in  itself,  and  opposed  to  many  clearly  expressed  passages  of 
Scripture. 


232  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

They  believe  that  all  men  will  ultimately  become  holy  and  happy ;  that  God,  who 
is  a  being  of  love,  created  only  to  bless;  that  he  sent  his  Son  to  be  for  salvation  to 
the  ends  of  the  earth ;  that  Christ's  kingdom  is  moral  in  its  nature,  and  extends  to 
moral  beings  in  every  state  of  existence ;  that  man's  probation,  so  far  from  being  con- 
fined to  the  present  life,  extends  through  the  mediatorial  reign ;  and  that  as  Christ 
died  for  all,  so,  before  he  shall  deliver  up  the  kingdom  to  the  Father,  all  shall  be 
brought  to  a  participation  of  the  knowledge  and  enjoyment  of  that  truth  which  makes 
free  from  the  bondage  of  sin  and  death. 

They  believe  in  a  general  resurrection  and  judgment,  when  those  who  have  im- 
proved their  probation  on  earth  will  be  raised  to  more  perfect  felicity,  and  thoso 
who  have  misimproved  time,  will  come  forward  to  shame  and  condemnation,  which 
will  continue  till  they  become  truly  penitent. 

They  believe  that  punishment  itself  is  a  mediatorial  work,  perfectly  consistent 
with  mercy,  and  is  employed  by  Christ  to  subdue  the  stubborn  will,  and  prepare  the 
mind  to  receive  a  manifestation  of  the  goodness  of  God,  which  leads  to  true  repent- 
ance. 

The  society  is  principally  confined  to  Massachusetts,  though  there  are  churches  in 
Rhode  Island  and  elsewhere.

Book  of  Common  Prayer. — In  June,  1858,  the  Society  was  enabled,  by  the  liberal- 
ity of  a  few  individuals,  to  bring  out  a  32mo  Prayer-book,  at  a  very  low  price,  and 
designed  particularly  for  the  children  of  Sunday  schools.  During  the  same  morith, 
there  was  also  brought  out,  through  the  liberality  of  two  persons,  an  8vo  Prayer- 
book,  in  large,  heavy  type,  suited  to  old  people.  In  July,  1859,  a  gentleman  of  New 
York  supplied  the  means  of  bringing  out  an  18mo  Prayer-book,  of  large,  plain  type, 
suitable  for  general  use.  These  books  are  printed  on  good  paper,  and  well  bound, 
and  are  furnished  at  the  following  prices:  32mo,  10  cents  per  copy;  18mo,  25  cents; 
8vo,  50  cents. 

Since  the  first  book  was  issued,  in  June,  1858,  the  Society  has  put  into  circulation, 
by  sale,  over  20,000  copies. 

Gratuitous  Distribution. — The  applications  for  donations  of  the  Society's  publica- 
tions are  far  beyond  their  abilit}r  to  meet.  The  amount  received  during  the  year 
past  for  this  purpose,  has  been  $1,373  38;  while  the  grants  made  have  amounted  to 
about  $2,150.  Sets  of  the  Evangelical  Biographies  have  been  presented  to  the  stu- 
dents who  graduated  during  the  year  from  the  General  Seminary  and  the  Virginia 
and  Ohio  seminaries.  These  books  were  most  gladly  received,  and  cannot  fail  to  be 
very  useful. 

Lejacies. — The  following  legacies  have  been  paid  in  during  the  year : 
Legacy  of   the   late   John   Johns,    Esq.,   Baltimore    County,    Maryland, 

amounting  to,  after  deducting  taxes  and  other  expenses,  -         -         -$9,429  32

$10,449  32 
This  fund  the  Committee  have  kept  in  a  measure  separate  from  the  common  funds 
of  the  Society,  and  have  set  it  apart  for  special  purpose. 

The  Charter. — By  an  application,  on  the  part  of  the  Executive  Committee,  to  the 
Legislature  of  Pennsylvania,  the  charter  of  the  society  has  been  so  altered  as  to  al- 
low an  increase  of  the  number  of  the  Executive  Committee  from  eight  members  to 
twelve.  Under  the  former  provision,  the  number  was  limited  to  eight— four  cler- 
ical and  four  lay  members.  Under  the  amended  charter,  the  committee  will  consist 
of  not  less  than  four,  nor  more  than  six  clerical,  and  of  not  less  than  four,  nor  more 
than  six  lay  members.

Abstract  of  the  Annual  Report  for  1839. 

Statistical  Details  of  Missions — The  number  of  missionaries  in  commission,  March 
1,  1858,  was  392,  to  which  have  been  added,  to  March  1,  1859,  208,  making  the 
whole  number  600,  and  less  by  10  than  the  year  previous. 

The  number  of  churches  arid  missionary  stations,  wholly  or  in  part  supplied  (as 
far  as  reported)  by  our  missionaries,  is  815;  of  newly  organized  churches,  50;  of 
admissions  on  examination,  2,709,  and  on  certificate,  1,801 — making  a  total  of  4,510; 
in  communion  with  churches  connected  with  the  Board,  24,015  ;  of  Sabbath  schools, 
is  355;  of  teachers,  2,900;  and  of  scholars,  11,453.  The  number  of  baptisms  is 
2,792.  Of  the  600  missionaries  in  commission  during  the  year,  175  have  sent  in  no 
special  report — over  one-fourth  of  the  whole  number;  consequently  we  must  in- 
crease all  the  returns  over  one-fourth  to  make  them  correct. 

Appropriations — The  appropriations  made  to  missionaries,  from  March  1,  1858,  to 
March  1,  1859,  have  been,  at  the  office  in  Philadelphia,  $58,360.17,  and  at  the 
office  in  Louisville,  36,116.66,  making  a  total  of  $94,476.83. 

Receipts — The  total  amount  of  receipts  from  all  sources,  from  March  1,  1858,  to 
March  1,  1859,  is  $99,673.03,  to  which  add  balances  on  hand  in  the  different  trea- 
suries, March  1,  1858,  $20,384.25  ;  making  the  available  resources  of  the  Board 
during  the  year,  $120,057.28. 

The  amount  paid  out  at  the  office  in  Philadelphia,  including  the  Presbyterial 
treasuries,  was  $74,493.34,  and  at  the  office  in  Louisville,  $17,141,75;  making  the 
total  amount  of  payments  during  the  year,  $91,635.09;  leaving  an  available  balance 
in  all  the  treasuries,  on  the  1st  of  March,  1859,  of  $28,422.19.     The  amount  due  the 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  261 

missionaries  at  the  same  date  was  $12,699.57,  leaving  an  unexpended  balance  of 
$15,722.62. 

Missions — During  the  year,  the  Board  have  established  new  missions  in  various 
sections  of  our  country,  as  well  in  larger  cities  and  towns  as  in  smaller  villages  and 
rural  districts.  They  have  also,  to  the  extent  of  their  ability,  reinforced  mission- 
aries in  the  newer  States  and  Territories.  One  missionary  has  been  added  to  the 
number  in  California,  and  another  has  been  commissioned,  who  will  in  a  short  time 
enter  that  field.  One  has  been  added  to  the  number  in  Oregon,  one  in  the  territory 
of  Washington,  one  in  the  State  of  Rhode  Island,  one  in  Ohio,  ten  in  Illinois,  two  in 
North  Carolina,  two  in  Louisiana,  two  in  Mississippi,  one  in  Arkansas,  three  in 
Iowa,  two  in  Minnesota,  and  one  in  the  territory  of  Nebraska. 

As  heretofore,  we  have  continued  to  employ  a  number  of  missionaries  among  our 
foreign  population.  One  has  labored  among  the  French,  one  among  the  "Welsh,  and 
twenty-four  among  the  Germans.  Many  of  our  missionaries  laboring  in  the  southern 
States,  devote  a  portion  of  their  time  to  the  colored  population. 

During  the  year,  twenty-seven  missionaries  have  been  commissioned  and  em- 
ployed as  itinerants.  A  large  portion  of  missionaries  perform  more  or  less  of  such 
service,  but  the  above  number  are  either  wholly  or  almost  entirely  employed  as 
itinerants. 

Summary  of  Results — The  following  will  show  the  advance  that  has  been  made 
during  the  present  administration  of  the  Board,  a  period  of  six  years,  as  compared 
with  the  corresponding  number  of  years  preceding. 

1.  The  average  number  of  missionaries  from  1847-8  to  1852-3  inclusive,  was 
531 ;  the  average  number  from  1853-4  to  1858-9  inclusive,  was  569 — showing  a 
greater  average  during  the  last  six  years  by  38.  The  number  of  missionaries  the 
past  year  was  greater,  by  31,  than  the  average  number  from  1853-4  to  1858-9  ;  and 
they  were  larger  by  69  than  the  average  number  from  1847-8  to  1852-3  inclusive. 

2.  The  average  amount  of  the  annual  receipts  from  1847-8  to  1852-3  inclusive, 
was  $69,171;  from  1853-4  to  1858-9  inclusive,  it  was  $90,414.40,  being  a  larger 
annual  average  the  last  six  years  by  $21,243.40  than  the  annual  average  of  the  six 
preceding  years.  The  receipts  during  the  past  year  were  greater  than  the  average 
receipts  from  1853-4  to  1858-9,  inclusive,  by  $9,258.63;  and  they  were  larger  than 
the  average  of  receipts  from  1847-8  to  1852-3,  inclusive,  by  $30,502.03. 

3.  The  average  annual  amount  appropriated  from  1847-8  to  1852-3  inclusive,  was 
$57,953.33;  from  1853-4  to  1858-9  inclusive,  it  was  $87,300.38,  showing  a  greater 
annual  average  of  appropriations  during  the  last  six  years,  by  $29,347.05,  than  the 
annual  average  of  the  six  preceding  years.  The  amount  appropriated  the  past  year 
was  greater  by  $7,176.45  than  the  average  appropriation  from  1853-4  to  1858-9 
inclusive,  and  larger  than  the  average  appropriation  from  1847-8  to  1852-3  inclu- 
sive, by  $36,523.50. 

4.  The  average  salary  appropriated  to  the  missionaries  in  1852-3,  was  $131.82  ; 
the  average  salary  appropriated  the  past  year  was  $189.52 — a  larger  sum  by  $57.70. 
The  average  salary  appropriated  to  the  missionaries  the  last  year  was  greater,  by 
$13.50,  than  the  average  salary  appropriated  during  six  years,  from  1853-4  to 
1858-9,  inclusive.  From  the  foregoing  statement,  it  appears  that  the  average  salary 
appropriated  to  the  missionaries  by  the  Board  has  been  increased,  during  the  past  six 
years,  $43|  per  cent.

Abstract  of  the  Annual  Report  for  1859. 

Ministerial  Education — Candidates — The  number  of  new  candidates  received  has 
been  141 ;  making  in  all,  from  the  beginning  (in  1819),  2,771 ;  the  whole  number  on 
the  roll  during  this  year  has  been  391. 

The  aggregate  number  of  candidates  is  six  more  than  the  number  on  the  roll  last 
year. 

The  number  of  new  candidates  is  thirty-eight  more  than  the  number  received  last 
year.  The  total  number  of  new  candidates  is  one  hundred  and  forty-one,  which  is  the 
largest  number  received  in  any  one  year  since  the  division  of  the  Church. 

Christian  Education  in  Schools,  Academies,  and  Colleges — The  Board  of  Education 
have  been  enabled  to  do  much  good  in  sustaining  feeble  institutions  of  learning.  The 
number  of  parochial  schools  is  not  large — probably  about  100  ;  but  they  are  a  great 
blessing  to  the  children  attending  them ;  and  their  influence  upon  other  schools  is 
important ;  and  they  assist  in  keeping  before  the  community  the  great  principles  of 
Presb}rterian  education.  A  revival  occurred  in  one  of  these  schools,  in  which  eight 
of  the  older  youth  were  hopefully  converted. 

The  number  of  Presbyterkd  Academies  is  fifty-eight ;  and  these  higher  institutions, 
scattered  all  over  the  land,  are  accomplishing  important  results  for  Christian  educa- 
tion. Their  number  ought  to  be  largely  augmented,  and  every  opportunity  embraced 
for  establishing  them  which  Providence  may  offer.  A  number  of  conversions  have 
taken  place  during  the  year  in  our  academies.  The  greatest  religious  awakening 
occurred  in  the  Academy  at  Waveland,  Indiana,  under  the  care  of  the  Presbytery 
of  Crawfordsville.  In  this  revival,  twenty-three  of  the  students  united  with  the 
church. 

Revivals  of  religion  occurred  during  the  year  in  three  of  our  colleges,  viz. :  David- 
son College,  North  Carolina ;  Westminster  College,  Missouri ;  and  Centre  College, 
Kentucky.     The  number  of  students  converted  is  from  thirty  to  fifty.

The  total  receipts  for  the  year,  from  all  sources,  are  $58,057,  18. 

The  total  receipts  of  the  Candidates'  Fund  are  $52,077  92.  This  is  the  largest 
sum  for  candidates  received  into  the  Treasury  of  the  Board  since  its  organisation, 
in  1819.     The  increase  above  the  receipts  of  last  year,  in  this  fund,  is  $4,974  85. 

The  very  large  increase  of  new  candidates  this  year  -will  call  for  an  increase  of 
pecuniary  means.  Nearly  forty  new  candidates  beyond  the  number  received  last 
year,  indicates  that  the  aggregate  number  on  the  roll  for  the  coming  year  will  exceed 
four  hundred. 

Scholarships — The  sum  of  eighty  dollars  forms  a  scholarship  to  assist  a  student  in 
the  Academical  course ;  one  hundred  dollars  in  the  Collegiate  course  ;  and  one  hun- 
dred and  twenty  dollars  in  the  Theological  course. 

Honorary  Members — The  sum  of  $50  constitutes  a  person  an  honorary  member 
of  the  Board  of  Education.  A  copy  of  the  Annual  Report  is  sent  to  all  the  honorary 
members  every  year.  .

270  AMERICAN*   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

Abstract  of  the  Twenty-first  Annual  Report^  1859. — -The  colportage  operations  of  the 
Board  were  during  the  last  year  conducted,  in  consequence  of  the  pecuniary  embar- 
rassments recently  prevailing  throughout  the  country,  on  a  somewhat  reduced  scale. 
Still,  as  compared  with  former  years,  it  is  able,  by  Divine  favor,  to  report  results  in 
every  department  of  its  efforts,  highly  encouraging  to  all  who  take  an  interest  in  its 
prosperity. 

In  the  Department  of  Production — During  the  year  there  have  been  printed  70 
new  works,  of  which  51  were  new  volumes.  Of  these  volumes,  98,000  copies  have 
been  printed.  Of  19  new  tracts,  54,500  copies  have  been  printed,  and  15,000  copies 
of  the  "Presbyterian  Almanac,"  making,  in  all,  167,500  copies  of  new  publications. 
Besides  these  there  have  been  published  272,000  copies  of  new  editions  of  volumes, 
and  473,500  copies  of  tracts  and  pamphlets  before  upon  the  Board's  catalogue.  The 
total  number  of  copies  issued  during  the  year  has  been  913,000;  issued  by  the  Board 
since  its  organisation,  7,732,938  copies. 

New,  instructive,  and  popular  volumes  are  continually  added  to  the  Sabbath 
School  Library  of  the  Board,  which  is  more  and  more  in  demand. 

Teriodicals. — The  circulation  of  the  Home  and  Foreign  Record  now  amounts  to 
17,650  copies.  The  circulation  of  the  Sabbath  School  Visitor  has  increased  4,000  dur- 
ing the  year,  and  now  amounts  to  58,000  copies. 

In  the  department  of  Distribution — By  regular  trade  sales  at  the  Depository  in 
Philadelphia,  have  been  sent  out  224,400  volumes;  an  increase  of  33,007  volumes 
on  the  sales  of  the  preceding  year.  The  sales  of  tracts  at  the  same  place  have 
amounted  to  1,490,650  pages,  being  an  increase  of  783,687  pages. 

The  Executive  Committee  have  granted,  in  response  to  special  appeals,  to  minis- 
ters, ships,  humane  institutions,  &c,  and  to  individuals  for  gratuitous  distribution, 
5,345  volumes  and  347,138  pages  of  tracts. 

The  number  of  colporteurs  in  commission  during  the  year  has  been  143.  These 
have  traversed  portions  of  nearly  all  our  States  and  Territories,  besides  the  British 
Provinces  on  the  north  and  north-east.  The  books  and  tracts  of  the  Board  have 
thus  been  largely  scattered  over  all  the  frontier  and  destitute  portions  of  the  land. 

The  number  of  volumes  this  year  sold  by  colporteurs  has  been  92,068.  This  is, 
of  course,  a  much  smaller  number  than  the  aggregate  of  last  year,  but  gives  a  larger 
number  of  volumes  sold  by  each  colporteur  in  commission  this  year  than  the  last. 

The  pages  of  tracts  gratuitously  distributed  by  colporteurs  has  been  1,217,573  ; 
very  nearly  as  many  as  were  last  year  distributed  by  a  much  larger  body  of  men. 
The  number  of  volumes  gratuitously  distributed  by  colporteurs  has  been  11,184. 
The  number  of  families  visited  has  been  72,537.  Taking  into  the  account  the  smaller 
number  of  laborers  in  the  field  this  year,  all  these  figures  compare  most  favorably 
with  the  results  of  last  year. 

The  total  distribution  of  the  year  has  been  as  follows : 

Sales  at  the  Depositors',        -  .  -         -         -        -     224,400  volumes.

Being  a  decrease,  owing  to  the  smaller  number  of  colporteurs  employed,  of  4,549 
volumes.

AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  271 

Besides  the  above  matter,  the  Board  has  also  circulated  a  large  number  of  pamph- 
lets and  periodical  papers.  t 

In  the  department  of  Sustentation,  the  Treasurer's  Report  shows  an  aggregate  of 
receipts  for  the  year  of  $129,698.31,  which  is  an  increase  of  $2,738.03  over  the  re- 
ceipts of  the  year  before.  The  total  of  expenditures  of  all  kinds  has  been  $107,561.02, 
an  increase  of  $759.34  over  those  of  the  year  before,  leaving  March  1,  1859,  a  bal- 
lance  of  $22,137.29  in  the  Treasurer's  hands,  a  largo  part  of  which  would  speedily 
be  called  for,  however,  by  works  in  course  of  publication. 

The  amount  received  from  sales  of  books,  tracts,  and  Sabbath  ScJwol  Visitor,  has 
been  $76,714.35,  or  $4,128.51  less  than  the  year  before,  owing  to  the  smaller  num- 
ber of  colporteurs  in  commission. 

Colportage  Fund.  The  amount  received  from  all  sources  for  this  Fund,  has  been 
$24,817.00,  which  is  an  increase  of  $3,448.24  over  the  receipts  of  last  year.  The  con- 
tributions from  ch urches  have  amounted  to  $22,952.47,  an  increase  over  last  year's 
receipts  from  this  source  of  $5,801.55.  The  receipts  from  legacies  and  miscellaneous 
sources  have  been  $1,864.53 — less  than  half  the  sum  received  last  year  from  this 
source. 

The  balance  against  the  Colportage  Fund  on  March  1,  1858,  was  $8,628.46;  on 
March  1,  1859,  it  was  $3,300.76;  having  been  reduced  in  the  sum  of  $5,457.70. 
The  last  two  years  have  comprehended  a  period  of  almost  unexampled  pecuniary 
embarrassment;  yet  during  this  whole  time  the  Board  has  not  had  a  single  collect- 
ing agent  in  the  field.  It  has  relied  wholly  on  the  pastors  to  secure  and  forward  the 
contributions  of  the  churches,  and  experience  has  shown  that  the  Board  can  rely 
safely  upon  them.

ABSTRACT   OF  THE   FOURTH   ANNUAL  REPORT. 


"While  the  applications  for  1857-8  numbered  only  one  hundred,  calling  for  $45,000, 
they  rose  in  1858-9  to  one  hundred  and  forty-one,  calling  for  more  than  $62,000. 
Besides  these  new  applications,  there  were  on  rile  and  undisposed  of,  April  1,  1858, 
sixty  applications,  calling  for  not  less  than  $25,000.  The  committee,  therefore,  had 
before  them  during  the  last  year,  two  hundred  and  one  applications,  asking  for  more 
than  $87,000.  Various  causes  combined  to  swell  so  largely  the  list  of  applications. 
The  great  revival  of  1858  caused  many  churches  to  arise  and  build.  The  diminished 
cost  of  labor  and  materials  encouraged  others  to  undertake  the  work.  Successive 
failures  of  the  crops  in  large  sections  of  the  south-west  and  north-west,  and  the 
general  prostration  of  business  everywhere,  forced  some  to  ask  for  aid,  who  in  or- 
dinary times  could  have  built  without  help. 

Notwithstanding  these  difficulties,  God  prospered  the  work  of  church  building 
through  the  committee  during  the  year  ending  April  1,  1859.  During  that  time 
every  appropriation  was  paid  as  soon  as  properly  called  for,  without  borrowing  a 
dollar.  The  number  of  churches  to  whom  appropriations  were  thus  paid,  was 
seventy-six — being  eleven  more  than  during  the  previous  year.  In  the  same  time,  ap- 
propriations were  made  to  eighty-three  churches,  or  seven  more  than  in  the  preceding 
twelve  months.  The  receipts  of  1858-9  exceed  those  of  1857-8  $46.00,  and  the 
number  of  contributing  churches  named  in  the  present  report  is  565,  against  518  re- 
ported last  year.     Only  five  applications  were  declined  during  the  year. 

The  withdrawal  of  thirty-two  applications  referred  to  above,  left  on  file,  April  1, 
1859,  awaiting  the  receipt  of  additional  information,  and,  therefore,  not  yet  acted 
upon,  ?iinety-one  applications.     They  may  safely  be  said  to  ask  for  $41,000. 

Appropriations. — During  the  year  ending  April  1,  1859,  appropriations  amounting 
to  $23,970.15,  were  made  to  eighty-three  churches,  in  thirty  Synods,  sixty  Presby- 
teries, and  twenty-five  States  and  Territories. 

Receipts  and  Expenditures. — The  appropriated  balance  in  the  treasury  of  the  Church 
Extension  Committee,  April  1,  1858,  was  $8,991.70.  The  receipts  from  all  sources, 
from  April  1,  1858,  to  April  1,  1859,  were  $29,342.32;  of  which  $23,744.91  was 
from  churches,  $2,600  from  legacies,  $2,513.92  from  individuals,  $138.50  from  Sab- 
bath schools,  and  $344.99  from  interest  and  exchange.  The  available  resources  of 
the  year  were,  therefore,  $38,334.02. 

The  expenditures  of  the  year,  as  shown  by  the  Treasurer's  statement,  were 
$23,538.68,  leaving  in  the  Treasur}',  April  1,  1859,  an  appropriated  balance  of 
$14,795.34.  There  were,  however,  unpaid  at  that  date,  appropriations  to  fifty-eight 
churches,  amounting  to  $16,029.75,  The  liabilities  of  the  committee,  therefore,  ex- 
ceeded their  means  on  hand  at  the  close  of  the  fourth  fiscal  year,  $1,234.41. 


FORM   OF  A  BEQUEST. 

The  Church  Extension  Committee  of  the  General  Assembly  is  not  incorporated, 
but  the  following  form  of  bequest,  it  is  supposed,  would  be  valid. 

I  bequeath  to  my  executors  the  sum  of  dollars,  in  trust,  to  pay  over  the  same

of  my  said  executors  for  the  same.

rJZd9?lTfmSi°m-~JuStlS  H'  Tint0n'  Missionai7  to  Burmah,  had  died  since  the  last 
report.  The  missions  in  Burmah  are  four— three  among  the  Sagaer  Karens  and  one 
among  the  Pwos.  The  head-quarters  of  the  three  former  are  at  Rantoon  B^sem 
and  Shwaygyen  The  Pwo  Mission  has  also  its  head-quarters  at  Rangoon  m  con! 
ZC!10V  he  Sa^aer  dePartmeQt»  ^d  occupies  a  portion  of  the  Kemendine  prem- 
wes.  _   These  two  missions  have  united  in  a  local  organisation  called  the  Karen  Home 

thlSt?a7  ^°Ciet£  throu8'Vvhose  funds  the  missionaries  at  Rangoon,  together  with 
the  schools,  have  been  chiefly  supported.  ° 

The  Pwo  churches  are  in  a  prosperous  state. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  287 

The  Karen  Testament,  rendered  into  the  Pwo  dialect  from  the  Sagaer,  by  Mr. 
Brayton,  had  been  carried  forward,  but  funds  were  wanted  to  complete  the  work. 

A  heavy  responsibility  fell  upon  Mrs.  Yinton,  at  the  death  of  her  husband,  but 
she  had  been  remarkably  sustained.  At  her  request,  and  an  urgent  appeal  from  the 
Karens,  Mr.  Kincaid  left  his  own  field,  during  a  portion  of  the  rainy  season,  to 
occupy  the  field  left  vacant  by  Mr.  Yinton.  Under  Mr.  K.;s  supervision,  the  Karen 
chapel,  costing  about  $8,000,  was  carried  forward  to  completion. 

Mr.  Rose,  in  the  government  school  at  Rangoon,  desired  to  give  himself  wholly  to 
the  missionary  work. 

The  Bassein  mission,  under  Mr.  Bucher,  had  been  highly  prospered.  A  house  had 
been  built  for  Mr.  B.,  as  no  suitable  dwelling  could  be  rented  in  that  region. 

The  salary  of  a  single  missionary  was  $400;  of  a  missionary  and  wife,  $600; 
and  for  each  child  till  the  age  of  sixteen,  $81  a  year.  For  traveling  expenses,  an 
extra  aUowance  was  made  of  two  rupees  per  day.  This  being  found  inadequate,  the 
Union  had  raised  the  salaries  of  the  missionaries  $100  per  annum. 

Since  the  defection  of  Mr.  Judd,  no  definite  information  had  been  received  respect- 
ing the  state  of  the  mission  and  mission  property  at  Port  au  Prince.  Agents  had 
been  several  times  appointed  to  visit  the  island  and  look  after  the  interests  of  the 
Society,  but  disappointment  had  attended  every  effort.  The  lot  for  a  chapel  had 
been  purchased,  of  which  the  Society  holds  the  deeds.  $1,600  of  the  chapel  fund 
now  remains  in  the  hands  of  the  former  treasurer.  Claims  against  the  Society  had 
recently  been  forwarded  from  Port  au  Prince  for  monies  paid  by  Mr.  Judd  to  native 
preachers  several  years  ago.  Other  matters  called  for  settlement.  Mr.  Newman, 
missionary  in  Canada  West,  whose  health  required  a  change  of  climate,  had  applied 
for  an  appointment  to  Hayti. 

Providence  having  opened  Japan,  the  society  desired  to  send  out  Mr.  Goble  to 
pioneer  the  cause  of  missions  in  that  field.     Mr.  GT.  was  ready  and  waiting. 

The  mission  in  Canada,  under  Messrs.  W.  P.  Newman  and  H.  S.  Davis,  had  been 
continued. 

The  Society's  missionaries  in  the  western  States  had  been  toiling  as  usual.  Mr. 
Read  had  been  called  upon  to  suffer  for  his  anti-slavery  principles,  having  been  shot 
down,  but  had  almost  miraculously  escaped.  He  has  for  some  time  been  self-sup- 
porting in  his  labors.  Mr.  Johnson,  a  veteran  missionary  in  Oregon,  requested  a 
discontinuance  of  his  appointment,  and  recommended  a  successor. 

Mr.  A.  Gladwin  had  been  laboring  for  the  society  as  an  evangelist  and  home  mis- 
sionary since  July,  in  New  York  and  vicinity,  with  much  success. 

The  American  Baptist,  the  organ  of  the  society,  to  a  certain  extent,  supplies  the 
place  of  agents.  Wherever  it  penetrates,  it  finds  funds  for  the  mission  cause.  All 
other  Baptist  journals  being  closed  against  the  Free  Mission  Society,  ©r  speaking  of 
it  only  to  oppose,  its  very  existence  would  seem  to  depend  upon  having  an  organ  of 
its  own. 

The  other  publications  of  the  Society  have  not  been  numerous.  "  Baptist  Episco- 
pacy "  has  had  an  extensive  demand,  and  added  many  friends  to  the  Society. 

The  Board  have  decided  upon  issuing  occasionally  small  tracts  of  four  pages 
each. 

Receipts,  $16,643.87  ;  expenditures,  $9,730.00  ;  notes  and  cash  on  hand,  $6,912.87  ;

WALDENSIAN  SYNOD. 

SUMMARY  OF  REPORT    FOR   1859. 

All  the  old  missionary  stations — namely,  those  at  Turin,  Pignerol,  Genoa,  Nice,  and 
Favale — have  been  sustained,  and  several  new  ones  established.  Much  has  been 
done  in  colportage,  particularly  in  the  circulation  of  the  Scriptures.  The  school, 
college,  and  theological  seminary,  at  Latour,  are  highly  prospering.  The  labors  of 
the  Society  continue  to  be  opposed  by  Romish  priests,  but  every  year  with  less  effect.

GERMAN  METHODIST   CONVENTION. 

Met  in  a  general  convention  at  Chicago,  in  July,  1859.  Delegates  were  present 
from  the  conferences  of  New  York,  North  Ohio,  Cincinnati,  Rock  River,  Upper  Iowa, 
Illinois,  and  Southern  Illinois.  Dr.  Nast  was  chosen  president,  and  Rev.  Jacob 
Rothweiler,  secretary. 

A  committee  was  appointed  to  prepare  a  plan  for  a  new  German  hymn-book,  to  be 
submitted  to  the  next  General  Conference.      * 

A  protest  was  made  against  putting  German  missions  under  the  supervision  of 
English  presiding  elders. 

A  resolution  suggested  the  propriety  of  connecting  no  less  than  two  German  dis- 
tricts within   one  annual  conference. 

A  committee  was  appointed  respecting  the  propriety  and  best  mode  of  establish- 
ing day  schools. 

It  was  decided  that  any  change  in  the  presiding  elder  system  would  be  injurious 
to  the  German  work. 

A  committee  was  appointed  to  consider  the  propriety  of  publishing  a  volume  of 
sermons  by  German  preachers.  Another,  to  report  a  plan  for  the  collection  of  mate- 
rials for  a  history  of  German  Methodism.  Still  another,  to  arrange  for  the  publication 
of  a  German  commentary. 

The  missions  among  the  Germans  were  represented  as  highly  prosperous,  and 
increased  appropriations  were  asked  for  their  support. 


AMERICAN  MISSIONARY  ASSOCIATION.

REPORT. 

The  missionaries  have  been  instructed  to  labor  for  the  overthrow  of  slavery,  as  of 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  307 

any  other  sin,  and  they  do  not  receive  slaveholders  into  the  Church,  nor  invite  them 
to  communion.  .    . 

One  of  the  vice-presidents  (Rev.  Samuel  E.  Cornish),  one  female  missionary  (Mrs. 
Brooks,  of  the   Mendi   Mission),  and   fourteen  life  members,  had  died  during  the 

Three  hundred  and  fourteen  life  members  had  been  added  during  the  year,  making 
the  whole  number  2,512.  m    m 

Twelve  missionaries  and  assistant  missionaries  had  sailed  for  their  missions,  ten 
of  them  for  the  first  time ;  and  nine,  under  appointment,  expected  to  sail  in  Novem- 
ber. 

The  number  of  foreign  missions  was  8  ;  stations  and  out-stations,  29  ;  and  9  out- 
preaching  places.  Number  of  laborers  in  the  foreign  field,  including  those  about  to 
sail,  69.°  Two  male  and  one  female  laborers  had  returned  to  this  country  from 
Africa ;  one  female  had  gone  from  the  same  mission  to  her  home  in  Scotland,  for  her 
health  ;  and  three  missionary  families  had  retired  from  the  Ojibue  mission. 

The  Good  Hope  station  was  increasing  in  interest.  Additional  members  were  re- 
ceived at  every  communion,  and  daily  religions  exercises  were  kept  up.  A  monthly 
concert  of  -prayer  was  observed,  and  collections  taken  up  for  the  missionary  work. 
There  were  three  out-posts  that  had  preaching  every  Sabbath.  A  mission  school 
under  Miss  Mcintosh  was  prospering.     An  out-school  was  under  the  Rev.  Geo.  N. 

Jowett. 

Kaw  Mendi,  an  out-station  of  Good  Hope,  had  no  native  assistant  living  there. 
Mr.  Brooks  still  prosecutes  his  work  at  the  Boom  Falls  station,  assisted  by  three 
or  four  native  assistants.    The  removal  of  Mrs.  Mair  and  Mr.  Miles,  and  the  death  of 
Mrs.  Broooks,  had  changed  the  surface  of  affairs  there  since  last  year.     There  were 
three  out-preaching  places. 

The  Salem  Hill  mission  had  not  been  commenced  for  want  of  laborers. 
The  Jamaica  mission  had  seven  stations,  three  out-stations,  and  twenty-four  mis- 
sionary laborers,  including  four  native  assistants.     The  reports  exhibit  a  less  favor- 
able condition  than  in  former  years. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Douglass  have  charge  of  the  Industrial  School  at  Richmond,  which 
had  been  without  teachers  for  a  considerable  part  of  the  year. 

The  Ojibue  mission  being  unpromising,  the  executive  committee  recommended  its 
relinquishment. 

The  Ojibue  and  Ottawa  mission  had  had  seven  additions  to  the  church  member- 
ship in  the  preceding  eight  months. 

Sixty  had  been  added  to  the  Church  at  the  Sandwich  Islands  mission. 
Several  Sunday  Schools  and  two  Churches  had  been  formed  among  the  colored 
population  in  the  Canada  mission.     Mr.  Hotchkiss  had  added  eighteen  to  the  churches 
under  his  care,  in  a  little  more  than  a  year. 

The  Siam  mission  was  at  length  beginning  to  present  cheering  indications.  _  Two 
young  men  connected  with  the  printing  office  were  endeavoring  to  live  a  Christian 
life.  °Several  had  made  a  public  profession  of  their  faith;  and  a  noon-day  prayer 
meeting  had  been  established. 

The  Coptic  mission  had  made  no  progress  during  the  year,  in  consequence  of  the 
illness  of  Mr.  Martin,  who  had  asked  and  obtained  permission  to  retire. 

At  home,  the  association  had  had  98  missionaries  and  5  colporteurs  in  the  field  dur- 
ing the  year ;  16  churches  had  been  organised,  making  the  whole  number  130 :  35  revi- 
vals of  religion  had  been  reported,  and  1,003  hopeful  conversions.  There  had  been 
640  added  to  the  churches  on  examination,  and  343  by  letter.  Whole  membership, 
3,890;  Sabbath  and  Bible  class  scholars,  5,538;  contributions  of  the  churches  to 
benevolent  objects,  $1,300. 

The  members  of  the  churches  were  pledged  to  temperance  and  anti-slavery. 


308  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

In  Kentucky,  7  missionaries  and  3  colporteurs  were  laboring  with  slight  opposition. 
Tract3  and  publications  against  slavery  were  freely  introduced ;  Bibles  were  given 
to  slaves  ;  110  acres  had  been  secured  as  a  site  for  a  literary  institution  ;  and  several 
revivals  of  religion  had  taken  place. 

The  report  concluded  by  enforcing  the  claims  of  the  slave  States,  recommending 
the  enlargement  of  missionary  work  in  all  its  operations,  and  pursuing  it  with  in- 
creasing vigor.

BOARD  OF  MISSIONS  OF  THE  PROTESTANT  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 

Twenty-fourth  annual  and  eighth  triennial  meeting  in  St.  Paul's  Church,  Richmond, 
Ya.,  October  6-20th,  inclusive;  the  Rt.  Rev.  the  Bishop  of  Virginia- in  the  chair. 

REPORT. 

Condition  of  the  Domestic  Field. — 24  stations  are  vacant ;  43  missionaries  have  been 
newly  appointed,  and  twenty  have  resigned.  Two  missionary  bishops  and  122  mis- 
sionaries are  now  laboring  in  the  field,  which  comprises  Maine,  New  Hampshire, 
Delaware,  Michigan,  Ohio,  Indiana,  IUinois,  Wisconsin,  Missouri,  Iowa,  Minnesota, 
Kansas,  Nebraska,  Tennessee,  Kentucky,  Mississippi,  Louisiana,  Arkansas,  Alabama, 
Georgia,  Florida,  California,  Oregon  and  "Washington.  What  are  122  missionaries  in 
so  extensive  a  field  ?  To  have  strong  men,  well  sustained  at  first,  working  as  itine- 
rants and  pioneers,  rather  than  as  settled  pastors  over  one  or  more  congregations, 
the  committee  believe  to  be  the  true  policy  for  all  future  efforts. 

A  growing  evil  is  the  withdrawing  so  much  of  valuable  time  and  available  labor 
from  missionary  fields,  while  the  missionaries  and  clergy  of  the  border  are  compelled 
to  seek  far  and  wide  for  scanty  aid  in  building  the  churches  committed  to  their  care. 
One  bishop  has  decided  to  encourage  no  more  of  his  clergy  to  go  abroad  for  this  pur- 
pose. When  the  church  shall  take  the  matter  into  her  own  hands,  by  the  formation 
of  a  well-devised  and  efficiently  sustained  church-building  society,  in  accordance  with 
the  past  experience  and  present  uniform  practice  of  other  Christian  bodies  around  us, 
a  great  evil  will  be  cured,  and  all  classes  of  our  clergy  and  people  have  a  sensible 
relief. 

The  older  States  we  are  not  called  upon  to  notice.  But  the  committee  may  express 
gratification  at  the  full  organisation  now  of  Texas  and  Minnesota,  who  have  bishops 
elect  awaiting  consecration  for  their  life-long  arduous  labors  in  those  extended  and 
inviting  fields,  and  they  may  anticipate  for  them,  in  the  future,  rapid  growth  and 
great  prosperity. 

In  the  important  field  of  Arkansas,  with  its  growing  population  and  great  resources, 
much  has  been  done  and  much  remains  to  be. 

In  Nebraska,  whose  population  is  as  yet  but  small  and  scattered,  missionary  opera- 
tions have  been  few  and  feeble. 

A  lamentable  destitution  exists  in  Mexico,  and  an  earnest  desire  for  the  services 
of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church. 

In  California  the  difficulties  in  religious  culture  can  scarcely  be  appreciated.  The 
rapid  growth  and  changeableness  of  the  population  are  not  the  least  of  these  difficul- 
ties. To  these  may  be  added  the  intense  and  all-absorbing  desire  for  wealth,  which 
deadens  the  conscience  and  renders  men  indifferent  themselves  to  religion,  and  to 
the  spiritual  welfare  of  their  families.  In  many  districts,  the  bishop  found  the  rising- 
generation  virtually  in  a  state  of  heathenism.  If  they  are  not  cared  for,  what  will  be 
the  condition  of  society  there  in  the  next  generation  ?  A  number  of  clergymen  have 
offered  to  go  to  the  rescue,  some  of  whom  are  already  on  their  way.  Shall  these  and 
others  not  be  sustained? 

In  Oregon  and  Washington  the  population  is  increasing,  and  commerce  will 
speedily  transfer  our  impress  to  their  shores.  What  shall  that  impress  be  ?  It  is 
for  the  Church  to  answer  this  question.

'We  regret  to  say  that  there  has  been  a  falling  off  in  the  number  of  contributing 
parishes,  the  number  this  year  being  745,  as  compared  with  S42  in  1857,  and  894 
in  1858.  With  the  large  amount  received  this  year,  from  the  few  parishes  which 
have  contributed,  we  may  see  how  large  a  sum  would  be  realised,  if  all  the  parishes 
of  the  Church  would  make  a  bona  fide  contribution,  large  or  small,  according  to  their 
several  ability.  We  can  only  renew  the  earnest  hope  that  this  may  soon  be  done. 
We  would  affectionately  remind  the  clergy  that  a  little  thoughtful  care,  in  remem- 
bering the  wants  of  the  Church  entrusted  to  us,  would  greatly  benefit  our  worthy 
missionaries  and  spreading  field. 

Belief  Fund  for  Domestic  Missions. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Board  a  resolution  was  adopted  for  a  "simultaneous 
effort  to  relieve  the  Domestic  Committee  from  its  old  burdens,  by  subscriptions  and 
spontaneous  contributions,  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Domestic  Com- 
mittee. The  desire  to  carry  on  this  work  without  interfering  with  the  ordi- 
nary receipts  of  the  committee,  made  it  a  work  of  time  and  patieuce.  By  the  bless- 
ing of  God,  and  the  aid  of  kind  friends,  we  are  happy  to  announce  that  the  work  is 
done.     The  sum  of  $10,000  has  been  secured  for  this  important  end ;  and  for  the 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  315 

first  time  in  many  years,  the  Domestic  Committee  are  relieved  from  debt,  and  able 
to  work  freely  in  their  important  and  extended  field. 

In  returning  from  his  recent  visitation  in  Kansas,  the  Missionary  Bishop  of  the 
North-west  thus  writes :  "  You  must  remember  that  the  field  of  the  Domestic  Com- 
mittee is  only  opening  in  the  "West.  Take  Kansas  for  instance.  From  the  Missouri 
there  are  two  hundred  miles  of  fine  agricultural  land ;  then  two  hundred  of  pasture 
land;  then  two  hundred  of  mountains  abounding  with  gold.  You  must  look  for- 
ward to  perhaps  a  dozen  new  territories,  even  in  your  day.  There  will  probably  be, 
by  Christmas,  one  hundred  thousand  souls  in  and  about  Pike's  Peak." 

What  a  contemplation !  Six  hundred  miles,  in  Kansas  alone,  of  grass  and  grain 
ar.d  gold,  and  the  prediction  of  a  dozen  new  territories  opening  upon  us  in  our. own 
day.

Bradish,  J.  D.  Wolfe,  Esq.,  Cyrus  Curtiss,  Esq.,  G-.  N.  Titus,  Esq. 

Secretary  and  General  Agent — The  Rev.  R.  B.  Van  Kleeck,  D.D. 

Treasurer — Isaac  Seymour,  Esq.,  44  Wall  street. 

Foreign  Field. 

The  Committee  have  been  enabled  to  increase  considerably  the  missionary  force, 
and  to  enter  upon  new  fields. 

The  Board  and  the  Church  at  large  are  now  called  upon  to  contemplate  this  work 
in  its  present  extended  limits,  and  to  realise  the  fact  that  the  amount  of  contribu- 
tions reported  from  year  to  year  will  no  longer  suffice  for  its  necessities.  Nothing 
less  than  the  income  of  the  financial  year  just  closed  will  enable  the  Committee  to 
meet  their  obligations. 

This  statement  is  now  distinctly  made,  and  pressed  upon  the  attention  of  the 
Board ;  the  Church  is  called  upon  to  sustain  the  work  upon  an  enlarged  scale,  and 
any  falling  off  in  receipts  below  those  of  the  year  now  reported  must  inevitably  lead 
to  embarrassment.

AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD:  31? 


Publications. 


The  condition  and  circulation  of  the  Spirit  of  Missions  continue  to  be  as  heretofore 
reported. 

The  Carrier  Dove  is  now  published  in  an  edition  of  30,000  copies  monthly — 2,000 
more  than  the  number  reported  last  year. 

Six  occasional  papers  have  been  published  by  the  Foreign  Committee,  within  the 
year,  and  widely  scattered.  Two  of  these  had  special  reference  to  Japan,  one  to 
China,  and  one  to  Africa;  the  other  two  were  general  in  their  character. 

Agents. 

The  committee  have  continued  to  avail  themselves,  so  far  as  practicable,  of  the 
services  of  some  of  their  clerical  brethren  in  various  portions  of  the  country,  who 
kindly  consent  to  act  without  charge  as  agents  in  behalf  of  foreign  missions. 

The  Rev.  E.  "W.  Henning  is  still  in  the  employment  of  the  Committee,  and  devotes 
his  time  to  efforts  in  behalf  of  the  African  Mission.  His  labors,  during  the  past  year, 
have  been  chiefly  in  the  Dioceses  of  Connecticut  and  Pennsylvania. 

The  mission  to  Africa  has  recently  had  the  benefit  of  the  very  efficient  labors  of 
Bishop  Payne,  whose  return  to  this  country  is  mentioned  in  another  part  of  this 
report. 

The  mission  to  China  has  had  its  claims  urged  in  various  places  by  Bishop  Boone  ; 
by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Keith,  until  the  sailing  of  that  gentleman  for  China,  in  May  last,  and 
recently  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Nelson.

China. 

Shanghai — Right  Rev.  W.  J.  Boone,  D.D.,  Missionary  Bishop ;  Rev's.  E.  TV.  Syle, 
Robert  Nelson,  Cleveland  Keith,  Henry  M.  Parker,  Thomas  S.  Yocom,  Elliot  H. 
Thomson,  Dudley  D.  Smith,  Samuel-  I.  J.  Schereschewsky,  Henry  Purdon,  Wong 
Kong-Chai,  Tong  Chu-Kiung,  Native  Deacons  ;  James  T.  Doyen,  Teacher  of  Boys' 
School  and  Candidate  for  Orders  ;  Edward  Hubbell,  Lay  Agent  and  Candidate  for

Syle,  Mrs.  Nelson,  Mrs.  Keith,  Mrs.  Parker,  Mrs.  Yocom,  Mrs.  Smith,  Mrs.  Jane  M. 
Doyen ;  Misses  Emma  G-.  Jones,  Lydia  M.  Pay,  Catherine  E.  Jones,  J.  R.  Conover. 

The  Committee,  in  their  report  of  last  year,  were  called  to  record  wonderful 
changes  in  the  condition  of  the  Empire  of  China.  The  walls  of  separation,  settled 
upon  the  deep  and  strong  foundations  of  national  pride  and  national  prejudice,  com- 
pacted and  cemented  by  centuries  of  unchanged  custom  and  habit  of  exclusiveness, 
were  broken  down. 

China  was  opened,  in  a  measure  before  unknown,  to  intercourse  with  other  na- 
tions. 

The  fact  most  wonderful  and  most  signally  displaying  the  hand  of  God  in  the 
transactions  here  referred  to,  was  the  forwardness  of  the  Chinese  officials  in  their 
voluntary  concessions  to  Christian  missionaries.  They,  of  their  own  accord,  offered 
to  concede  to  missionaries  the  privilege  of  free  access  to  all  parts  of  the  country  of 
China. 

By  the  changes  thus  wrought,  it  could  not  fail  to  be  seen  that  new  responsibilities 
were  laid  upon  the  Church  of  Christ.  The  foreign  committee  felt  the  weight  of  obli- 
gation at  once  to  strengthen  and  enlarge  the  mission  to  China,  and,  in  March  last, 
they  adopted  the  following  resolutions: 

"Resolved,  That  in  view  of  the  encouraging  tokens  of  Divine  Providence,  in  the 
recent  opening  of  China  to  the  peculiar  labors  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church, 
the  Foreign  Committee  desire  to  -send  out  immediately  ten  additional  missionaries  to 
that  important  field. 

"Resolved,  That  the  Missionary  Bishop  to  China  (then  in  this  country),  be  requested 
to  solicit  from  the  churches,  as  a  special  contribution,  an  adequate  sum  to  defray  the 
outfit,  passage-money,  and  one  year's  salary  of  the  aforesaid  missionaries." 

In  the  prosecution  of  the  agency  thus  imposed,  Bishop  Boon  visited  various  por- 
tions of  the  country,  having  previously  addressed  a  circular  letter  to  all  the  parishes. 
He,  moreover,  charged  himself  with  the  duty  of  obtaining  missionaries  also,  and  for 
this  purpose  visited  the  theological  seminaries  in  New  York  and  Virginia.  Yery  re- 
markable success  attended  his  efforts  in  both  these  departments.  The  congregations 
addressed  by  him  responded  nobly,  and  the  amount  for  which  he  asked,  viz. :  $20,000, 
was  speedily  made  up.  Many  applications  for  appointment  were  addressed  to  the 
Committee  ;  and,  of  the  various  classes  of  laborers  needed,  nine  were  appointed,  as 
follows : 

Mr.  Henry  M.  Parker,  of  the  Diocese  of  South  Carolina, 
"    Dudley  D.  Smith,  "  Alabama, 


320  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

Mr.  Henry  Purdon,  of  the   Diocese  of  Pennsylvania, 
"     Elliot  H.  Thompson,  "  Virginia, 

"     Thomas  S.  Yocom,  "  Pennsylvania, 

"     James  T.  Doven,  "  Maryland, 

"     Edward  Hubbefi,  "  New  York, 

Students  in  the  Theological  Seminary,  Fairfax  County,  Va. 

Also,  Mr.  S.  I.  J.  Schereschewsky,  of  the  Diocese  of  Maryland,  student  in  the 
General  Theological  Seminary,  N.  Y. 

And  in  addition  to  the  above,  Mrs.  Jane  M.  Doyen,  the  mother  of  Mr.  Doyen, 
above  mentioned. 

Five  of  the  persons  above  named  were  ordained  by  Bishop  Boone,  viz.:  Mr.  Schere- 
schewsky, Mr.  Smith,  Mr.  Thomson,  and  Mr.  Purdon,  in  St.  George's  Church,  New 
York,  on  the  7th  July;  and  Mr.  Parker,  in  the  Church  of  the  Ascension,  New  York, 
on  the  10th  July.  Mr.  Yocom  was  ordained  by  Bishop  Bowman,  in  the  city  of  Phil- 
adelphia. Mr.  Doyen  and  Mr.  Hubbell  are  candidates  for  orders.  Mr.  Doyen  will 
take  charge  of  the  Boys'  Boarding  School,  Shanghai,  and  Mr.  Hubbell  will  act  as 
business  agent. 

Adding  hereto  the  names  of  Mrs.  Parker,  Mrs.  Yocom,  and  Mrs.  Smith,  we  have  a 
list  of  twelve  added  to  the  missionary  force  in  China. 

In  the  Mission  at  Shanghai,  the  usual  routine  of  missionary  duties  and  labors  has 
been  pursued,  so  far  as  the  fewness  of  the  laborers  there  would  permit.  Speaking 
of  their  regular  work,  Mr.  Syle  says  : 

••  We  begin  to  see  that  true  religion  is  really  taking  root  here,  and  we  feel  that  we 
may  well  thank  God  and  take  courage.  Much,  very,  very  much  remains  to  be  done, 
but  something  has  already  been  accomplished." 

Labors  in  the  Interior. — The  Rev.  Mr.  Liggins  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Williams  continued 
their  labors  in  the  city  of  Dzang  Zok,  until  the  departure  of  Mr.  Nelson  for  this 
country  rendered  necessary  Mr.  Williams'  return  to  Shanghai. 

The  native  deacon  Chi  was  then  sent  to  Dzang  Zok  to  assist  Mr.  Liggins, 
and  they  continued  there  until  an  apparently  untoward  circumstance  caused  a 
suspension  of  the  work.  The  circumstance  referred  to,  was  as  follows-:  Mr. 
Liggins,  on  an  occasion  of  a  religious  procession  of  men  of  a  low  class,  fell  into  a 
rabble,  and  was  severely  beaten.  His  health  had  previously  been  bad,  and  the 
effect  of  this  rough  treatment  was  such  as  to  render  advisable  his  retirement  from 
the  scene  of  his  labors.  He,  together  with  the  Rev.  Mr.  Chi,  returned  to  Shaughai, 
where  he  was  induced  to  try  what  reinvigorating  effect  there  might  be  in  the  climate 
of  Nagasaki  in  Japan. 

He  sailed  for  that  city  on  the  23d  April;  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Syle  writes: 

"Mr.  Liggins  (as  I  presume  he  has  himself  informed  you)  is  fully  installed  as 
Teacher  of  the  Interpreters  in  Nagasaki,  occupying  a  house  delightfully  situated, 
which  was  provided  for  him  by  the  Japanese  Governor,  on  the  application  of  the 
United  States  Consul." 

While  these  events  were  transpiring  in  China,  the  Foreign  Committee  determined 
to  open  a  mission  in  Japan,  and  adopted  Nagasaki  as  the  first  station ;  and  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Liggins  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Williams  were  appointed  Missionaries  to  that  Empire. 
Letters  were  at  once  addressed  to  these  brethren  ;  when  those  letters  reached  Shang- 
hai, Mr.  Liggins  was  already  in  the  field.  So  that  that  which  seemed  to  be  some- 
what disastrous  at  Dzang  Zok,  proved,  under  God,  the  occasion  of  an  earlier  entrance 
than  was  anticipated,  upon  the  work  in  Japan. 

In  the  relations  of  our  Mssions  to  China  to  the  authorities  and  ministry  of  tho 
Church  of  England,  in  that  country,  there  had  been  some  reason  to  fear  a  possible 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  321 

interruption  of  harmony.  Within  the  last  year  the  spontaneous  action  of  the  Church 
of  England  has  removed  every  possible  cause  of  difficulty  of  this  kind.  It  has  been 
suggested  to  the  Bishop  of  Victoria,  by  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  that  he  should 
make  any  arrangement  that  would  be  agreeable  to  Bishop  Boone  and  himself;  and 
the  Bishop  of  Victoria  has  proposed  to  leave  Kiang-Su,  the  province  in  which  our 
missions  are  established,  to  the  occupation  of  the  American  Episcopal  Church,  while 
the  missionaries  of  the  English  Church  shall  labor  in  the  province"' of  Cheh-Kiang ; 
and  if  their  missionaries  had  any  converts  in  Kiang-Su,  he  would  delegate  his  au- 
thority to  confirm  to  Bishop  Boone,  and  vice  versa. 

This  leaves  to  us  an  unfettered  ministry  among  37,000,000  of  people  dwelling  in  a 
territory  not  larger  than  one  of  the  single  States  of  our  American  Union. 

Statiitics. — Missionary  Eorce  :  Bishop,  3  Presbyters,  6  Deacons,  2  Native  Deacons, 
3  Candidates  for  Orders  (2  Foreign,  1  Native),  12  Female  Missionaries;  total,  27, 
Baptisms,  12  ;  Communicants,  about  70. 

Japan, 

Nagasaki — Rev.  John  Biggins,  Rev.  Channing  Moore  Williams. 

The  committee  have  mentioned  already  the  entrance  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Liggins  upon 
missionary  work  in  Japan.  His  colleague,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Williams,  under  date  of 
May  26th,  1S59,  writes  as  follows: 

"  Sickness  in  Mr.  Syle's  family  has  made  it  necessary  for  him  to  try  the  benefit  of 
a  short  trip,  and  his  absence  has  prevented  my  leaving  for  Japan  immediately  after 
the  receipt  of  j-our  letter.  Soon  after  his  return,  which  will  be  in  a  week  from  this 
time,  I  expect  to  get  off." 

The  fact  demands  grateful  acknowledgment  that  the  mission  of  our  church  in 
Japan  is,  in  point  of  time,  the  first  Protestant  Mission  actually  established  in  that  empire. 

Taking  into  view  the  fact  that  the  mission  to  Japan  must  be  always  in  intimate 
connection  with  the  mission  to  China,  and  for  the  present,  at  least,  under  the  care  of 
the  bishop  of  that  mission,  the  committee  decided  to  place  it  under  the  care  of  the 
Missionary  Bishop  of  China,  until  other  arrangements  could  be  made,  and  appointed 
Dr.  H.  Ernst  Schmid  as  missionary  physician  to  the  same  field. 

South  America. 

Rev.  Richard  Holden,  of  the  Diocese  of  Ohio,  missionary. 

The  earnest  attention  of  the  committee  is  directed  to  other  portions  of  South 
America,  and  they  will  greatly  rejoice  should  a  favoring  Providence  enable  them  to 
enter  upon  missionary  labors  in  some  of  those  inviting  fields.

FORM   OF   A    BEQUEST   TO   THE   SOCIETY. 

I  give  and  bequeath  to  the  Domestic  and  Foreign  Missionary  Society  of  the  Pro- 
testant Episcopal  Church  in  the  United  States  ot  America,  incorporated  by  the  State 
of  New  York  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  forty-six,  the  sum  of 
,  to  be  applied  to  the  uses  of  said  Society. 


SPIRITUALISM. 

Modern  Spiritualism  had  its  rise,  some  twelve  years  since,  in  "Western  New  York. 
"It  came,  at  first,"  says  a  Spiritualist,  in  a  communication  to  the  editor,  "in  the 
form  of  rappings,  knoekings,  table  tippings,  and  other  noisy  and  violent  demonstra- 
tions, for  the  purpose  of  attracting  general  attention.  When  they  had  roused  gen- 
eral curiosity,  they  proceeded  to  gratify  it  by  unfolding  their  object,  to  wit:  to 
humanise  and  spiritualise  men,  and  educate  them,  by  impartations  of  truth,  up  to 
planes  of  light,  and  truth,  and  brotherhood.  When  they  had  enlisted  the  interest  of 
a  few  intelligent  minds,  they  suggested  to  them  means  by  which  communication  might 
be  held,' namely,  by  the  use  of  the  alphabet,  and  of  entranced  media.  But  that  none 
might  delude  themselves  with  the  erroneous  idea  that  they  alone  were  chosen  as 
agencies  for  this  intercommunication  of  spirits  in  the  form  with  those  out  of  the 
form,  the  power  of  mediumship  was  simultaneously  given  to  thousands  all  over  the 
country.  As  was  to  be  expected,  what  followed  filled  the  nation  with  astonishment. 
Through  the  alphabet,  called  out  letter  by  letter,  spirits  of  persons  long  as  well  as 
but  recently  deceased,  made  their  presence  known  at  circles,  and  proved  their  iden- 
tity to  the  satisfaction  of  the  most  incredulous.  Entranced  media  wrote — in  the  hand- 
writing of  departed  poets,  historians,  novelists,  theologians,  and  private  persons — 
communications,  whose  individuality  in  style  proved  them  beyond  a  doubt  to  be  dic- 
tated by  the  spirits  of  those  whose  respective  names  were  attached  to  them.  Through 
the  agency  of  these  medio,  all  classes  conversed  with  deceased  relatives  and  friends, 
or  what  purported  to  be  such.  But  there  were  matters  still  more  marvellous. 
Numbers  in  all  parts  of  the  country  suddenly  and  simultaneously  claimed  to  be 
gifted  with  the  power  of  healing  by  the  laying  on  of  hands.  Before  this  power  all 
manner  of  diseases  were  suddenly  and  permanently  cured.  More  astounding  still, 
thousands  were  cured  by  the  mere  will  of  the  healers,  when  the  patients  were  not 
only  not  present,  but  in  some  instances  hundreds  of  miles  distant. 

"  More  astounding  still,  whole  books,  sermons,  lectures,  poems,  were  claimed  to  be 
dictated  by  spirits  purporting  to  be  those  of  persons  of  high  eminence  when  in  the 
form,  and,  more  startling  still,  all  these  wonders,  and  numerous  others,  are  constantly 
repeated  to  this  hour,  so  that  hundreds  of  men  and  women  are  every  day  being  healed 
of  every  form  of  disease  by  persons,  in  some  instances,  in  no  wise  remarkable  for  their 
knowledge ;  in  some  cases  simply  by  the  laying  on  of  hands,  in  others  merely  by  an

order  of  the  will.  Lawyers  confess  to  receiving  many  of  their  most  valuable  points 
from  deceased  members  of  their  profession.  Poems,  discourses,  lectures,  books,  edi- 
torials, are  composed  by  media  in  a  state  of  trance ;  secrets  buried  with  the  dead  are 
revealed  through  media  by  the  spirits  of  those  who  died  with  them;  and,  what  is  cer- 
tainly very  singular,  these  revelations  have,  in  most  cases,  been  found  correct  in  all 
>articulars. 

"To  sum  up — thousands  on  thousands  of  communications  are  every  day  delivered 
through  media,  by  spirits  of  parties  out  of  the  form,  to  relatives  and  friends  in  the 
form ;  distressed  widows  and  friends,  greatly  to  their  relief  and  satisfaction,  are  daily 
receiving  important  information  from  the  spirits  of  those  who,  when  leaving  the  form, 
carried  with  them  facts  of  the  highest  value  to  those  they  left  behind ;  bereaved 
parents  are  raised  from  depression  by  messages  from  beloved  ones  happy  in  higher 
spheres ;  widows  receive  counsel  from  the  spirits  of  their  late  husbands,  and  vice 
versa ;  portraits  are  painted  of  deceased  persons  by  artists  who  never  saw  the  par- 
ties in  the  form,  and  these  likenesses  are  pronounced  to  the  life  by  the  friends  and 
relatives,  who,  satisfied  that  the  painter  could  never  have  seen  or  known  the  originals, 
are  filled  with  amazement. 

•'To  conclude — music  is  played  upon  instruments  by  invisible  hands ;  heavy  tables 
are  lifted,  persons  raised  from  their  chairs,  chairs  and  tables  dance,  and  a  thousand 
other  wonderful  things  are  performed  by  invisible  hands  ;  the  blind  have  their  sight 
restored ;  the  lame  and  diseased  are  made  whole,  and  lost  persons  are  found. 

'•In  addition  to  our  permanent  conventions  for  eliciting  facts,  and  our  regular 
meetings,  we  have  private  societies  for  the  purpose  of  enlightening  and  ameliorating 
the  condition  of  spirits  in  darkness,  and  thus  leading  them  out  to  light  and  progress.  These 
societies  are  numerous,  both  in  the  United  States  and  South  America.  To  these 
meetings  very  many  spirits  eagerly  and  thankfully  come,  and  manifest  their  presence. 
They  ask  and  reply  to  questions,  in  some  cases  by  the  alphabet,  and  in  others  through 
writing  media.  Not  unfrecpiently,  in  these  societies,  classes  are  formed  for  the  re- 
ligious instruction  of  spirits,  who  attend  with  regularity,  and  promptly  answer  to 
their  names  by  raps  at  the  call  of  the  roll.  What  do  we  teach  the  spirits  ?  What 
we  have  learned  from  the  Bible.  Specifically?  How  to  pray  to  the  Great  Jehovah  ; 
what  thoughts  they  must  cultivate;  the  sentiments  and  teachings  of  Jesus  of  Xaza- 
reth.  What  kind  of  spirits  come  to  these  meetings  ?  Those  in  darkness,  and  who, 
when  in  the  form,  never  heard,  or  did  not  heed,  the  inspired  preachings  of  Jesus. 
Do  we  help  any  out  of  darkness?  We  believe,  great  numbers.  How  do  we  know  ? 
The  spirits  themselves  so  inform  us. 

"As  to  our  members,  as  a  body.  This  I  cannot  intelligently  answer.  To  meet 
your  query  upon  this  point,  I  have  made  several  inquiries,  in  quarters  I  fancied  most 
likely  to  have  information  upon  it,  but  have  been  unable  to  obtain  more  than  ap- 
proximating facts.  We  have  several  newspapers,  the  most  prominent  of  which  are 
The  Spiritual  Telegraph  (published  in  New  York),  the  Banner  of  Light,  and  the  Spirit- 
ual Age  (both  of  Boston).  We  have  also  several  monthlies,  nearly  all  of  which  are 
widely  read.  Of  the  periodicals  mentioned.  The  Spiritual  Telegraph,  the  Banner  of 
Light,  and  the  Spiritual  Age.  have,  as  I  understand,  a  joint  circulation  of  not  far  from 
fifty  thousand.  The  total  circulation  of  the  others  I  estimate  at  about  twenty  thou- 
sand— in  all.  70,000.  Allowing  that  one  in  every  Jive  takes  one  or  other  of  our 
eleven,  periodicals,  we  have,  say,  fifty-five  thousand.  But  as  that  is  a  very  unusual 
proportion,  one  in  fifteen  being,  as  I  understand,  a  close  proportion,  I  presume  it 
would  not  be  far  from  the  truth  to  put  down  our  acknowledged  number  in  the  United 
States  at  165,000.  To  these  perhaps  ought  in  fairness  to  be  added,  great  numbers 
who  regularly  visit  our  media,  and  take  part  in  our  circles,  but  do  not  openly  ac- 
knowledge themselves  Spiritualists. 

"  Do  we  believe  in  Jesus  Christ  ?  Certainly. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  325 

"  As  to  our  doctrinal  beliefs,  these  are  easily  stated.  But  before  speaking  of  them, 
permit  me  to  say  a  few  words  about  our  media,  who  are  various.  We  have,  then — 
first:  "Writing  media,  who  write  in  a  state  of  trance,  and  whose  hands  are  wholly 
moved  by,  as  we  believe,  spirits,  who  have  absolute  control  of  them  for  the  time 
being.  Second  :  speaking  media,  who,  also  in  a  state  of  trance,  speak  under  the 
influence  of  spirits,  some  of  whom  prefer  such  to  writing  media.  Third  :  Seeing 
media,  who  are  so  far  developed  that  they  can  and  do  literally  behold  spirits.  Fourth  : 
healing  media,  who  by  will,  the  laying  on  of  hands,  and  the  aid  of  spirits,  heal  all 
manner  of  diseases.  Fifth  :  discerning  media,  who,  by  simply  placing  a  sealed  let- 
ter on  the  top  of  their  head,  against  their  lip,  or  on  the  palm  of  their  hand,  can  .ac- 
curately read  its  contents.  Lastly  :  normal  media,  who  seem  to  speak  in  the  natural 
state,  but  are  under  spirit  inspiration. 

"Media  are  both  public  and  private.  Public  media  are  very  numerous,  and  many 
superior  to  others;  there  being  gradations  in  these,  as  in  every  thing -else.  Private 
media,  of  high  excellence,  are  to  be  met  with  in  very  many  families,  who  would  not, 
under  any  consideration,  exhibit  in  public.  I  would  add,  here,  that  spirits  cannot 
control  all  media  so  as  to  communicate  through  them  ;  while  other  media  are  so  fa- 
vorably organised  by  nature,  and  so  easily  developed,  that  nearly  every  spirit  can 
employ  them  in  communicating ;  but  media  of  this  superior  description  are  not  com- 
mon. 

"A  word,  also,  as  to  spirits.  All  spirits  cannot  communicate,  as,  in  the  form,  all 
men  cannot  read.  As  beiore  a  child  can  read,  it  must  first  be  taught  its  letters,  and 
to  spell,  so  before  a  spirit  can  communicate,  it  must  be  developed.  This  may  sound 
strange  to  you ;  but,  I  presume,  not  more  so  than  many  other  things  I  have  men- 
tioned. All  who  left  the  form  ignorant  of  common  things,  and  the  ordinary  laws  of 
nature  and  of  science,  have  to  be  developed  up  to  these  before  they  can  employ  the 
agencies  of  communication  between  the  spirit  spheres  and  earth.  You  will,  per- 
haps, be  surprised  to  hear  that  many  spirits  smile  when  first  informed  by  other 
spirits  that  they  can  communicate  with  friends  in  the  form. 

•'"We  also  learn  from  spirits  that  the  intermediate  agency  of  communication  be- 
tween the  spirit  world  and  earth  is  a  certain  fluid  in  the  atmosphere,  finer  than 
ether,  which  they  are  permitted  to  gather  and  to  make  use  of  for  this  purpose. 
There  are  certain  states  of  weather,  when  the  atmosphere  is  so  dense  and  heavy 
that  no  communication  can  be  had  or  made — rainy,  and  what  are  usually  terme*d 
gloomy  days,  for  example." 

SPIRITUALIST   DOCTRINES. 

1.  They  believe  in  God  the  Father,  and  in  Jesus  Christ,  and  in  the  Holy  Spirit, 
They  believe  of  God  the  Father,  that  he  is  the  maker  and  ruler  of  all  things  ;  that 
he  is  inscrutable,  divine,  and  loving.  Of  Jesus  Christ,  that  he  was  a  teacher  sent  of 
God  to  break  up  error,  proclaim  divine  truth,  teach  men  how  they  might  attain 
earthly  and  future  happiness,  and  lay  the  foundations  of  a  church  which  should  be 
in  harmony  with  the  laws  of  God.  And  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  that  it  is  the  Spirit  of 
God  breathing  through  Christ  to  the  heavenly  spheres,  and  through  them  to  men,  and 
inciting,  inviting,  and  inspiring  them  severally  to  that  life  which  is  in  harmony  with 
His  own  divine  nature,  His  teachings,  and  His  laws. 

2.  That  all  men  are  media  in  greater  or  less  degree,  and  that  man  in  all  ages  has 
had  the  privilege  of  intercourse  with  inhabitants  of  the  spirit  spheres ;  but  that,  till 
recently — thanks  to  the  persecuting  spirit  of  men — but  few  availed  themselves  of 
this  privilege,  which — thanks  again  to  the  divided  condition  of  the  church — can  now 
be  exercised  with  personal  safety,  for  the  first  time  in  the  world's  history. 

3.  That  all  beings  in  the  spirit  world  once  dwelt  in  the  firm. 


326  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

4.  That  the  spirit  world  is  made  up  of  a  stated  number  of  great  or  general  spheres, 
each  of  which  is  divided  and  subdivided  into  an  incomprehensible  number  of  smaller 
spheres  or  societies,  whose  variety  is  equal  to  the  varieties  of  individualities  that 
ever  have  and  ever  shall  appear  in  all  the  earths. 

5.  That  the  next  sphere,  or  that  into  which  the  spirit  passes  after  the  change 
called  death,  is.  in  most  respects,  the  counterpart  of  this;  that  it  has  the  same  varie- 
ties of  individualities,  and  of  mental,  moral,  and  religious  organisms;  that  spirits 
there  are  in  all  things  advanced  but  one  degree  higher  than  mortals ;  that  spirits  are 
on  as  low  planes  in  ignorance,  bigotry,  selfishness,  and  stupidity,  as  the  inhabitants 
of  this  and  other  earths ;  and  that  developed  spirits  there  are  making  the  same 
struggles  for  the  rescue  of  their  fellow-beings  from  the  darkness  of  ignorance,  big- 
otry, selfishness,  and  stupidity,  as  good  men  are  here,  and  with  a  measure  of  suc- 
cess only  excelling  that  of  mortals  in  a  single  degree. 

G.  That,  as  Regards  the  great  sin  of  the  earths,  Hypocrisy,  the  next  sphere  is 
immeasurably  in  advance  of  this,  as  every  developed  spirit  is  clairvoyant  and  can 
read  the  thoughts  of  all  on  his  own  plane,  as  well  as  of  those  below  him.  Hence, 
none  can  successfully  assume  to  be  what  they  are  not,  nor  in  any  wise  deceive.  [Let 
me  be  plainer.  While  a  developed  spirit  can  read  the  thoughts  of  all  on  lower  planes 
than  himself,  the  latter  cannot  penetrate  his.  A  spirit  in  the  third  sphere,  for  exam- 
ple, can  read  the  minds  of  all  spirits  in  the  second ;  but  a  spirit  in  the  second  cannot 
discern  the  thoughts  of  a  spirit  of  the  third.  In  a  word,  every  spirit  can  read  the 
mind  of  every  other  on  his  own  and  all  lower  planes.] 

I.  That  the  inhabitants  of  the  second  sphere  owe  their  development  to  the  same 
cause  as  that  of  man — the  Spirit  of  God's  love  in  the  hearts  of  the  good ;  and  that 
the  characters  and  degrees  of  their  development  correspond  to  those  witnessed  in 
men. 

8.  That  the  stars  are  earths,  in  many  respects  like  this,  and  inhabited  by  beings 
like  ourselves,  and  subject  to  kindred  laws  and  conditions  of  existence. 

9.  As  respects  man.  They  believe  that  man  has  not,  but  that  he  is  an  immortal 
spirit,  and  exists  now  for  the  first  time ;  that  he  is,  primarily  and  presently,  in  all 
things,  a  free  agent ;  and,  as  the  immortal  offspring  of  God,  destined  to  eternal  life 
and  progress. 

10.  That  the  society  into  which  each  individual  spirit  shall  enter  in  the  next 
sphere,  is  wholly  and  exclusively  dependent  upon  himself;  that  is,  upon  the  moral 
character  formed  by  him  on  earth.  If  his  habits  of  thought  and  action  in  the  form 
are  base,  such  will  be  the  exact  character  of  the  individualities  in  the  society  or 
sphere  he  will  enter  there.  A  being,  for  example,  who  is  a  slanderer,  a  liar,  a  hypo- 
crite, a  thief,  all  in  one,  will  enter  a  society  precisely  up  or  down  to  his  standard  in 
these  and  every  other  particular.  And  so  of  beings  of  all  moral  compounds.  Hence, 
whoever  would  enter  a  society  free  from  these  vices,  must  cultivate  himself  here  so 
as  to  be  fit  for  it.  There  is  no  escaping  this  or  any  other  condition  of  spirit 
existence. 

II.  That  every  one  takes  with  him  all  the  acquired  habits,  tastes,  and  feelings  that  he 
had  at  the  close  of  his  primary  state.  Hence,  that  it  is  obviously  the  duty  and  the 
policy  of  every  one  promptly  and  firmly  to  throw  off  all  evil  practices  of  any  and 
every  nature,  pursued  for  whatever  motive,  and  to  cultivate  only  such  as  will  stand 
the  most  exacting  scrutiny,  and  entitle  him  to  a  place  among  the  elevated  and  the 
pure.  Whoever  does  not  this,  is  an  enemy  to  his  own  present  and  future  hap- 
piness. 

12.  That  everv  one  takes  with  him  all  the  knowledge  and  all  the  ignorance,  on 
every  subject,  that  he  had  when  leaving  the  form;  that  they  who  were  ignorant  on 
moral  and  other  progressive  subjects,  will  discover  that  ignorance  to  be  as  great  a 
bar  to  their  progress  in  the  spirit  world  as  it  proved  in  the  primary  state ;  that  they 


AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN*  RECORD.  327 

* 
whose  knowledge  on  all  progressive  subjects  was  crude  and  imperfect,  as  far  as  it 
went,  will  rind  that  crudeness  and  imperfection  a  material  hindrance  to  their  progress 
on  the  same  subjects  in  the  spirit  sphere.  Hence,  that  it  is  the  policy  of  all  men,  in 
whatever  they  learn  in  the  form,  to  learn  that,  be  it  great  or  little,  clearly  and 
thoroughly ;  and  in  all  progressive  acquirements;  to  master  the  principles  intelligently. 
Whoever,  in  this  respect,  is  negligent  or  indifferent,  is  laying  a  foundation  for  future 
regrets  and  personal  hindrances. 

13.  That  as  every  man  sows,  so  shall  he  reap.  That  every  one  who  purposely  of 
ignorantly  does  injury  or  wounds  the  feelings  of  others,  will  himself  be  injured  and 
wounded  in  precisely  the  same  manner,  and  exactly  to  the  same  extent,  in  the  spirit 
World.  Hence,  that  every  man  ought  in  all  things  to  be  carefully  guarded,  to  know 
what  he  does,  and  to  study  out  every  act  to  its  finality,  so  far  as  he  can  see,  before 
he  performs  it;  as  it  is  most  certain  that  every  act  and  word  of  every  man's  life, 
contrary  to  the  teaching  of  Jesus,  "  as  you  would  that  others  should  do  to  you,  do 
you  so  to  them,"  will  be  visited  upon  himself,  in  kind.  So,  also,  of  his  good  words  and 
acts.  Hence,  every  man  that  strikes  a  blow  at  the  reputation,  peace,  and  happiness 
of  another,  is  only  laying  up  like  blows  for  himself  in  the  future. 

14.  That  as  we  judge  others,  we  shall  ourselves,  literally,  be  judged.  Hence,  that 
it  is  the  policy  of  every  man  to  judge  no  other ;  and  that  all  who  make  this  a  fixed 
principle,  are  thereby  preserving  themselves  from  just  so  much  personal  unhappiness 
in  the  spirit  world. 

15.  That  for  every  wrong  to  Right,  Truth  and  Love,  every  man  will  be  repaid  in 
Kind,  and  that  none,  however  good  in  other  respects,  can,  by  any  possibility,  or  in 
any  way,  escape  this.     Hence,  that  it  is  the  policy  of  every  one  to  do  no  evil. 

16.  They  believe  in  the  supreme  wisdom,  goodness  and  love  of  Jehovah,  and  that 
these,  His  divine  attributes,  concentre  in  one  august  attribute — Justice,  which  He  will 
meet  out  to  every  one  throughout  all  everlasting ;  and  that  every  created  being  ir/jst 
and  will  receive  the  full  measure  of  reward  which  exact  justice  demands;  as  well  for 
good  as  for  evil.  Hence,  that  it  is  the  policy  of  every  one,  in  all  things,  and  at  what- 
ever personal  sacrifice  of  time,  property  and  feeling,  not  only  always  to  do  right,  but 
to  do  right  with  good  measure,  in  order,  if  possible,  at  least  to  balance  inadvertent 
wrongs. 

17.  That  man's  real  moral  status  at  death  is  his  moral  status  and  starting  point 
on  entering  spirit  life. 

18.  That  every  man  must  work  out  his  own  salvation,  and  be  his  own  saviour. 
Hence,  that  it  is  the  policy  of  every  one  on  earth  to  cultivate  in  himself  a  pure  moral 
organism. 

19.  They  believe  that  the  teachings  of  the  inspired  teacher,  Jesus,  are  incompara- 
ble, and  sufficient  in  themselves,  without  further  instruction,  to  teach  man  all  that 
is  sufficient  to  enable  him,  if  he  will  obey,  to  attain  a  high  starting  point  in  spirit 
progress. 

20.  As  to  the  spirit  spheres.  They  believe  that  all  developed  spirits  are  teachers  and 
ministering  angels  to  the  undeveloped ;  that  life  eternal  means  constant  progression ; 
that  all  the  universe  is  one  great  harmony;  that  it  is  the  interest  of  every  one  so  to 
conduct  himself  in  thought  and  action,  through  life,  as  to  be  in  accord  and  corres- 
pondence with  that  harmony;  that  every  developed  spirit,  in  anyone  sphere,  may 
communicate  with  spirits  in  all  spheres,  but  that  "only  developed  spirits  are  aware  of 
this,  and  avail  themselves  of  the  privilege ;  that  all  the  earths,  in  scenery,  occupa- 
tions and  uses,  very  closely  resemble  the  second  sphere,  which,  in  all  things,  is  but 
one  degree  higher;  that  every  one,  in  the  form,  attracts  around  him  spirits  out  of 
the  form,  in  disposition,  tastes  and  feelings  like  himself,  who  are  drawn  towards  him, 
as  like  attracts  like ;  that,  as  man's  internal  character  changes,  the  spirits  about  him 
are  not  the  same  as  before,  but  such  as  are  in  accord  with  his  change ;  that  those 


828  AMERICAN*  CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

spirits  are  soonest  developed  who,  when  in  the  form,  by  their  sincerity,  humanity 
and  virtue,  planted  seed  that  fructified  in  good;  that  when  a  spirit  is  sufficiently  de- 
veloped .to  make  him  worthy  and  in  all  things  tit  for  it,  he  is  immediately  advanced 
to  the  third  sphere,  which,  though  only  one  degree  higher  than  the  second,  yet,  in 
individual  advancement,  comprehends  a  great  deal. 

As  to  communications  between  spirits  of  the  first  and  second  spheres.  While 
every  one  may  converse  with  spirits,  yet,  when  thus  conversing,  it  is  unwise  to  ex- 
pect an  unfoldment  of  all  facts  concerning  the  spirit  spheres,  from  a  single  or  a  few 
spirits*  Such  facts  can  only  be  obtained  by  communicating  with  a  great  many  spirits. 
For,  as  on  earth,  a  man  can  positively  assert,  of  his  own  knowledge,  only  the  few 
facts  in  his  own  experience,  and  can  impart  real  information  only  upon  such  things 
as  he  has  himself  practically  had  to  do  with,  but  can  give  a  hear-say,  and  an  opinion 
concerning  many  others;  so,  in  the  spirit  world,  a  spirit,  when  communicating,  can 
give  real  information  only  on  such  subjects  as  he  has  personally  had  experience 
in,  but  can  give  an  opinion  concerning  others,  which  opinion  may  or  may  not  accord 
witli  the  facts.  Thus,  at  a  recent  private  meeting  for  the  amelioration  and  advance- 
ment of  ignorant  and  benighted  spirits,  the  question  was  asked  of  a  young  femalo 
spirit,  '•Where  are  you?-'  and  the  reply  was,  ''In  the  dark,"  ''In  what  place?" 
'"I  don't  know;  1  cannot  see;  it  is  all  dark."  "How  long  have  you  been  thus?" 
"  Ever  since  I  left  the  form."  "  How  long  is  that?"  "  Since  December  twenty-sixth, 
eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-five."  "Have  you,  in  all  that  time,  not  seen  light?" 
"No."  "Nor  any  other  person,  or  spirit?'1  No."  The  inference  here  would  be 
that  all  spirits  are  in  darkness,  which  interviews  with  other  spirits  teach  us  is 
not  the  case.  General  facts  can  only  be  arrived  at  by  communicating  with  many,  by 
avoiding  drawing  inferences  too  soon,  and  by  discriminating  between  the  facts  baa  ;d 
upon  each  spirit's  individual  experience,  and  his  opinions  and  hear-says,  which  are  of 
no  moment. 

In  regard  to  prophecies.  Spirits  can  prophesy,  but  only  as  men  can  who.  under 
standing  causes,  have  the  mental  ability  to  forecast  effects;  no  more.  Spirits  being 
clairvoyant,  can  perceive  the  depth  of  rottenness  in  a  ship's  hull,  and  thus  foretell 
disaster ;  but  only  such  as  on  earth  were  familiar  with  mathematics,  the  qualities  of  tim- 
ber, and  the  action  of  water  and  storms  upon  wood  and  metal,  or  have  been  educated 
in  these  respects  since  their  translation  into  the  spirit  world,  could  trace  shipwreck 
from  this  cause.  So  in  regard  to  prophecies  on  other  subjects.  Spirits,  in  their  solicit- 
ude for  loved  ones  in  the  lbrm,  not  unfrequently  presage  injury  if  certain  steps  are 
taken,  sometimes  with  correctness,  but  oftencr  not — their  power  in  this  regard  being 
only  as  described,  and  their  solicitude  accounting  for  the  eagerness  of  their  predic- 
tions, just  as  a  loving  friend  will  often  urge  one  beloved  not  to  take  a  given  step,  as 
the  adviser  feels  that  something  fearful  will  come  of  it. 

In  matters  of  illness,  those  spirits  who,  as  physicians,  carried  with  them  a  scientific 
knowledge  of  medicine  and  physiology,  can  use  their  clairvoyant  powers  to  advan- 
tage in  discerning  the  seat  aud  progress  of  disease,  prescribing  remedies,  and  fore- 
casting the  probable  duration  of  life.  But  their  positive  knowledge  in  this  respect  is 
no  greater  than  that  of  a  human  being  who  has  an  intelligent,  scientific  understand- 
ing on  such  subjects,  The  duration  of  life  in  any  given  individual  is  known  with 
certainty  to  no  human  being,  to  no  spirit  in  Heaven,  and  to  God  alone. 

As  to  infants.  On  entering  the  second  sphere,  infants  are  taken  in  charge  by  de- 
veloped matrons,  who  care  for  them  tenderly,  watch  over  their  education,  introduce 
and  keep  them  in  circles  where  they  will  not  learn  evil,  and  never  withdraw  their 
guardian  care  till  their  charges  have  become  adults.  Jt\  in  the  meanwhile,  the  child'3 
own  mother  should  arrive  in  the  spirit  world,  and  she  is  lit  for  the  society  into  which 
the  child  has  been  introduced,  its  care  is  transferred  to  her;  otherwise,  if  she  is  unfit. 

The  last  subject — death.     They  believe,  respecting  this,   that  with   whatever  of 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN    RECORD.  329 

knowledge  and  ignorance,  goodness  and  wickedness,  sincerity  and  hypocrisy,  a  man 
lies  down,  so  he  rises.  Whatever  he  has  acquired,  in  knowledge,  perfect  and  im- 
perfect, in  integrity  and  deceit,  he  never  loses.  He  leaves  to  the  earth  what  he  took 
from  the  earth — his  form  only.  His  moral  status,  his  tastes  and  feelings,  his  pro- 
pensities and  proclivities,  ah  the  compounds  and  peculiarities  of  his  individuality,  go 
with  him,  and  rise  with  him. 

The  process  itself — that  is,  the  separation  of  the  spirit  from  the  form — is  wholly 
without  pain.  During  the  process,  the  spirit  is  unconscious,  and  it  does  not  return 
to  sensibility  till  the  separation  is  wholly  complete,  when  it  usually  hnds  itself  in  the 
Same  place  where  the  eventful  incident  in  its  history  took  place. 

The  process  sometimes  occupies  only  a  few  minutes,  sometimes  a  few  hours,  and 
sometimes  several  hours,  according  to  the  tenacity  of  life  natural  to  the  organism  of 
the  individual;  The  spirit  of  a  Presbyterian  clergyman,  who  died  some  two  years 
since  at  Philadelphia,  recently  described  his  experience  upon  this  point,  as  follows  : 
"  I  had  been  ill  many  weeks.  One  morning,  being  worse;  I  took  leave  of  my  family. 
In  the  afternoon,  however,  a  favorable  change  seemed  to  have  taken  place.  I  felt 
more  cheerful  and  exhilarated  than  for  some  time ;  and,  with  the  exception  of  a 
coldness  at  my  extremities,  I  was  quite  tranquil  and  happy.  Towards  evening, 
slumber  gradually  came  over  me.  When  I  awoke,  I  was  standing  in  the  middle  of 
the  room,  perfectly  free  from  pain,  and  with  a  youthfulness  of  feeling  reminding  me 
of  my  school  days.  To  my  surprise,  several  gentlemen  and  lady  friends  were  sit- 
ting around  in  grave  silence  on  the  right,  while  my  wife,  with  her  arms  around  our 
two  small  boys,  was  gazing  tearfully  at  a  pale  face,  which  I  at  first  did  not  recognise, 
in  a  coffin,  resting  on  two  stools,  on  the  left.  I  approached,  and  laying  my  hand 
upon  her  shoulder,  inquired,  'Jane,  my  dear,  why  are  you  weeping?'  To  my  sur- 
prise she  did  not  answer,  nor  appear  to  be  aware  of  my  presence.  I  repeated  my 
inquiry,  but  without  catching  her  attention.  I  then  spoke  to  my  children,  but  with 
no  better  result.  I  looked  at  the  marble-like  face  in  the  coffin ;  but  though  I  seemed 
to  remember  the  profile,  I  yet  could  not  distinctly  identify  it.  I  then  turned  to  the 
nearest  male  visitor — one  of  my  deacons,  a  venerable  man — and  laying  my  hand 
upon  his  shoulder,  said:  'Deacon,  why  are  all  here  bowed  in  grief,  and  for 
whom  are  my  wife  and  children  weeping?'  To  my  astonishment,  he  neither  seemed 
to  have  heard  me,  nor  to  have  felt  the  pressure  of  my  hand.  I  looked  at  him  some 
moments  in  silence,  and  then  put  a  like  question  to  several  others,  without,  however, 
eliciting  any  reply,  or  being  a*ble  to  perceive  that  any  had  heard  me  or  were  aware 
of  my  presence.  In  the  midst  of  my  perplexity,  a  gentleman  with  an  agreeable  ex- 
terior approached,  with  a  friendly  smile,  and  kindly  taking  me  by  the  hand,  ob- 
served: 'You  are  no  longer  in  the  form,  and  these  cannot  hear  nor  see  you.  You 
are  in  the  spirit  world.  Come.'  The  truth  now  burst  upon  me,  and  I  "recognised 
the  marble  face.  I  followed  my  guide,  and  we  passed  out,  no  one  seeming  to  hear  or 
observe  us."     In  his  case  the  process  had  occupied  several  hours. 


AMERICAN  UNITARIAN  ASSOCIATION. 

Annual  meeting,  in  Hollis  street  Church,  Boston,  Mass.,  May  23.     Rev.  Dr.  Hal] 
of  Providence,  in  the  chair. 

The  Report  of  the  Executive  Committee,  read  by  their  Secretary,  Rev.  Dr.  Miles, 


330  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

of  Boston,  stated  that  returns  had  been  received  from  a  larger  number  of  societies 
than  usual,  and  the  amount  of  contributions  was  correspondingly  generous. 

The  mission  in  Kansas  had  effected  much  good  to  the  denomination  in  that  quar- 
ter, and  was  comparatively  successful. 

The  Society  in  Lawrence,  under  the  charge  of  Rev.  Mr.  Xute,  was  now  self- 
sustaining,  and  other  societies  promised  soon  to  become  so. 

The  experiment  of  the  mission  to  India,  though  attended  with  expense,  is  regarded 
with  such  deep  interest,  and  has  so  much  promise  in  the  future,  that  it  is  deemed 
wise  to  continue  its  support. 

The  publishing  department  had  recently  been  reorganised,  and  placed  under  the 
charge  of  experienced  publishers,  who  would  doubtless  make  it  a  more  efficient 
auxiliary  in  the  cause. 

Originally  the  sum  of  $27,000  was  raised  for  the  book-publishing  business,  to  be 
used  as  working  capital,  with  the  expectation  of  further  increasing  it  to  $50,000. 
In  1833  there  was  paid  out  from  the  book  fund,  for  plates,  books,  tracts,  furniture, 
&c,  the  sum  of  $6,279  for  books,  including  the  works  of  Channing,  Osgood,  Hall, 
Alger,  and  Ware;  also  for  stereotyping  and  printing  other  works,  $11,362;  for  paper, 
s7..jj9  ;  for  binding,  $4,834.     The  total  amount  thus  far  paid  out  was  $-13,090. 

The  total  income  had  been  $28,255,  and  the  present  clear  property  of  the  Associa- 
tion amounted  to  $26,235.  The  sales  of  books  yielded  nearly  $1-1,000.  Eight  of 
the  books  published  had  more  than  paid  the  expense  of  their  issue,  and  but  for  the 
gratuitous  donations  of  books  to  libraries,  missions,  &c,  the  proceeds  from  this  source 
would  be  much  larger.  In  reviewing  their  work,  the  Executive  Committee  found 
much  cause  of  encouragement  for  a  prosperous  future. 

At  the  close  of  the  Report,  the  Chairman  alluded  to  the  improved  pecuniary  pros- 
pects of  the  Association  as  highly  gratifying,  and  then  made  some  earnest  remarks 
upon  its  higher  claims  and  purposes,  as  endeavoring  to  advance  Christianity  b}^  asso- 
ciated effort,  yet  cherishing  perfect  individuality  and  independence  of  thought  and 
action. 

The  meeting  was  further  addressed  by  Rev.  A.  "Woodbury,  of  Providence,  on  the 
Relation  between  Liberal  Christianity  and  American  Life;  by  Rev.  A.  A.  Livermore, 
of  ]STew  York,  on  the  Power  o*f  the  Laity  in  the  Christian  Church ;  by  Rev.  J.  E. 
Clarke,  of  Boston,  on  the  Aims  of  the  American  Unitarian  Association,  and  its  claims 
on  the  co-operation  of  its  friends;  and  by  Rev.  Dr.  Gannett,  of  Boston,  on  the  fruits 
of  the  Unitarian  Theology  in  the  memorials  of  a  past  generation  of  believers. 

The  thirty-fourth  annual  meeting  for  the  election  of  oilieers  was  held.  May  25.  in 
the  Freeman  Plao  President,  Rev.  Dr.  Hall,  of  Providence,  in  the  chair. 

The  Treasurer,  -Mr.  Calvin  Clark,  submitted  his  annual  report,  from  which  it  ap- 
pears that  the  balance  on  hand  at  the  commencement  of  the  year  was  $1,457.30  ; 
that  the  receipts  amounted  to  $13,138.78,  including  $3,160.60  received  from  the 
Quarterly  Journal;  2.56  from  the  sale  of  books;    auxiliaries,  donations,  and 

income  of  invested  funds,  $5,554.62.  The  expenditures,  including  $6,574.62  paid 
fa-  publishing  bonks.  $600  for  Kansas  mission,  and  $925  for  Calcutta  mission, 
amounted  to  $15,103.37,  leaving  a  balance  in  the  treasury  of  $1,492.71.  The  As- 
sociation owes  $2,000  on  borrowed  money,  arid  holds  invested  property  to  the 
amount  of  $6,500. 

A  protracted  debate  occurred,  growing  out  of  an  inquiry  in  regard  to  the  condi- 
tion of  the  Permanent  Trust  Fund  of  the  Association,  for  the  maintenance  of  a 
General  .'  .  and  it  was  voted  that  a  special  committee  be  appointed  to  investi- 

gate the  matter  of  the  "Permanent  Fund  lor  a  General  Agency,"  and  if  they  find 
that  it  was  raised  for  a  special  purpose,  that  the  fund  be  hereafter  kept  separate 
from  other  funds. 

The  sub-committee,  to  whom  was  referred  the  subject  of  dividing  the  responsibili- 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  331 

tics  of  the  Secretary  anions  the  members  of  the  Executive  Committee,  submitted  a 
report  containing-  seven  recommendations  tending  to  modify  the  duties  and  reduce 
the  salary  of  that  officer.  They  recommended  the  reduction  of  the  compensation  of 
the  Secretary  from  $3,000  to  $300;  that  all  paid  agents  for  collecting  money  be 
dispensed  with,  and  that  the  duties  of  the  same  be  performed  voluntarily  by  the  clergy 
that  the  duties  of  the  Home  Missionary  and  Foreigu  departments  be  performed  bj 
sub-committees  of  the  Board. 

A  discussion  followed  upon  the  general  proposition  involved  in  the  report,  which 
was  participated  in  by  Rev.  Dr.  Bellows,  of  New  York,  Rev.  E.  E.  Hale,  of  Bos- 
ton, Rev.  Dr.  Stebbins,  of  "Woburn,  and  others.  The  design  of  the  committee  was 
stated  to  be  to  prevent  the  payment  of  $5,000  or  $6,000  officially  for  the  disburse- 
ment of  $16,000. 

A  motion  to  reduce  the  duties  of  the  Secretary  to  the  limited  requirements  of  a 
clerkship,  it  being  understood  that  a  missionary  would  be  appointed,  was  laid  upon 
the  table,  and  it  was  voted  that  the  duties  of  the  Secretary  consist  of  the  usual  office 
work  of  a  Recording  and  Corresponding  Secretary,  of  as  wide  missionary  labor,  and 
as  frequent  and  large  intercourse  with  the  congregations  of  the  denomination,  as 
shall  be  practicable,  and  whatever  other  service  the  Executive  Committee  shall 
direct,  and  that  the  salary  be  fixed  at  not  less  than  $2,000,  or  more  than  $3,000, 
subject  to  the  decision  of  the  Executive  Committee. 

The  following  gentlemen  were  elected  officers  for  the  ensuing  year: 

President,  Rev.  F.  H.  Hedge ;  Vice  Presidents,  Hon.  B.  F.  Thomas,  Rev.  R.  P 
Stebbins;  Secretary,  Rev.  James  Freeman  Clarke;  Treasurer,  Calvin  W.  Clark; 
Directors,  Rev.  H.  A.  Miles,  Rev.  "William  R.  Alger,  Rev;  C.  H.  Brigham,  Rev. 
Henry  W.  Bellows,  Rev.  George  W\  Hosmer,  Rev.  Cazneau  Palfrey,  Rev.  William 
G.  Elliot,  George  B.  Emerson,  Esq.,  Rev.  Thomas  Hill.

S.  Willard. 

Rev.  Rufus  P.  Stebbins,  of  "Woburn,  Mass.,  made  an  address  upon  the  present 
position  of  the  Unitarian  body. 

Benjamin  W.  Putnam,  Esq.,  of  Jamaica  Plain,  read  an  essay  on  religious  educa- 
tion. 

Rev.  W.  H.  Cudworth,  of  East  Boston,  Secretary  of  the  Sunday  School  Society, 
and  Editor  of  the  Sunday  School  Gazette,  offered  for  discussion  resolutions  concerning 
the  better  organisation  of  Sunday  schools,  which  were  discussed  by  Rev.  A.  D.  Mayo, 
of  Albany ;  Mr.  Ansorge,  of  Dorchester ;  Rev.  A.  B.  Puller,  of  Watertown ;  Rev. 
Mr.  Tiffany,  of  Springfield ;  and  Dr.  Hall,  of  Providence. 

"  What  is  most  needed  to  render  our  religious  services  more  interesting  and  edify- 
ing?7' was  the  next  subject  of  discussion,  in  which  the  following  persons  took  part  : 
Rev.  Mr.  Nightingale  ;  Rev.  Mr.  Muzzey,  of  X ewburyport ;  and  Hon.  John  Prentiss, 
of  Keene,  N.  H. 

The  u Broad  Church"'. topic  followed,  upon  which  Rev.  Dr.  Hedge;  Rev.  Dr.  Par- 
ley, of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. ;  Rev.  J.  P.  Clarke ;  Rev.  Dr.  A.  Hill,  of  Worcester ;  Rev.  A. 
B.  Fuller ;  Rev.  Dr.  Hall,  of  Providence ;  Hon.  J.  Prentiss ;  Rev.  W.  T.  Clarke,  of 
Haverhill ;  and  Rev.  R.  R.  Shippen,  of  Worcester,  successively  gave  their  views. 

Rev.  D.  N.  Sheldon,  D.D.,  of  Bath,  Me.,  then  delivered  a  sermon  from  Matt,  xi, 
28-30. 

A  prayer  and  conference  meeting  rendered  interesting  the  third  day.  Dr.  Hall,  of 
Providence,  pjesided,  and  addresses  and  prayers  were  made  by  Rev.  W.  T.  Clarke, 
Rev.  S.  G.  Bulfinch,  Rev.  T.  D.  Howard,  Rev.  A.  D.  Mayo,  and  G.  Merr.ll,  Esq.  The 
regular  proceedings  of  the  Convention  were  then  resumed,  and  Rev.  A.  D.  Mayo 
addressed  the  assembly  on  the  Broad  Church. 

He  was  followed  by  Hon.  T.  D.  Elliott,  of  New  Bedford,  upon  the  question, 
"  What  is  needed  to  make  Unitarian  services  more  interesting  and  edifying?''  on 
which  Rev.  Messrs.  C.  Nightingale,  Dr.  Sanger,  of  Dover,  M.  G.  Thomas,  L.  G. 
Livermore,  and  Dr.  Elliott,  of  St.  Louis,  extemporised  pertinent  remarks. 

Mr.  Ansorge,  of  Dorchester,  spoke  of  church  music,  and  took  strong  ground  in 
favor  of  congregational  singing. 

Mr.  G^ngooly,  a  young  Brahmin,  followed  in  a  few  words  on  Methodism,  and  con- 
cluded with  supporting  the  views  of  the  previous  speaker  on  congregational  singing. 
on  which  subject  the  Hon.  Mr.  Elliott,  Rev.  Mr.  Battelle,  of  Pall  River,  Rev.  Jones 
Very,  of  Salem,  and  Rev.  Mr.  Ritter,  of  New  York,  were  also  eloqent. 

Rev.  Dr.  Farley,  of  Brooklyn,  proposed  resolutions  of  affectionate  commemoration 
respecting  the  fallen  in  the  ministry  during  the  year,  and  paid  a  feeling  tribute  to 
each.  The  resolutions  were  seconded  by  Rev.  A.  B.  Muzzey,  of  Newburyport,  who 
spoke  warmly  of  his  classmate,  the  late  Dr.  Burnap,  of  Baltimore. 

Dr  Hall  eulogised  the  memory  of  Horace  Mann,  and  Rev.  Mr.  Holland,  of  Dor- 
chester, and  was  eloquent  concerning  the  late  venerable  Dr.  Wiilard,  of  Deertiekl,  N. 
11..  in  whose  death  the  Church  had  lost  an  ornament  and  a  father. 

The  Convention  passed  a  vote  of  thanks  for  the  ''kind,  graceful,  and  abundant 
hospitality"  with  which  its  friends  had  been  received  and  entertained  by  friends 
in  Lowell,  and  Dr.  Gannett  closed  the  Convention  with  a  lew  felicitous  closing 
remarks.

of  the  Christian  system.

SOCIETY  FOR  THE   PROMOTION  OF  COLLEGIATE   AND  THEOLOGICAL 
EDUCATION  AT  THE  WEST. 


Annual  meeting  on  the  25th  and  26th  October,  in  the  Congregational  Church, 
Albany,  N.  Y.  Opening  sermon  by  Rev.  Dr.  Stevens  of  Newark,  N.  J.  Addresses 
were  made  by  Rev.  Dr.  Patton  of  New  York,  Rev.  Mr.  Manning  of  Boston,  and  Rev. 
Mr.  Bell  of  California.  The  annual  report  was  read  by  the  Corresponding  Secretary, 
Rev.  Theron  Baldwin. 


340  AMERICAN'   CHRISTIAN'   RECORD. 

Although  the  annual  receipts  of  the  Society  are  comparatively  small,  it  was  shown 
that  the  results  in  sustaining  institutions  early  planted,  and  in  planting  others  further 
west,  were  encouraging. 

The  nominal  resources  of  the  five  institutions  in  whose  immediate  necessities  the 
Society  had  its  origin,  did  not  exceed  $400,000,  encumbered  with  a  debt  of  $100,000, 
and  most  of  them,  had  they  been  forced  into  liquidation,  would  have  been  insolvent. 
These  institutions  have  been  rescued  and  sustained,  and  their  friends  at  the  West 
thereby  stimulated  to  liberal  efforts,  till  now,  the  resources  of  these  five,  over  and 
above  all  indebtedness,  exceed  by  several  hundred  thousand  dollars,  their  entire 
capital  sixteen  years  ago. 

In  addition  to  these  five,  four  others,  east  of  the  Mississippi,  have  been  aided  ;  and 
it  is  thought  that  $29,000  would  place  them  all  in  a  position  to  require  no  further 
assistance  from  the  Society,  and  leave  the  nine  in  possession  of  educational  appli- 
ances to  the  amount  of  one  and  a  quarter  million  of  dollars. 

Aid  has  also  been  furnished  to  a  number  of  institutions  west  of  the  Mississippi, 
onward  to  the  Pacific,  which  bid  fair  to  become  centres  of  moral  power  in  those 
rapidly  rising  Statoe.

ponding Secretary. 


UNITED  BRETHREN'S  CHURCH  (MORAVIANS). 

Triennial  meeting  of  the  Provincial  Synod  of  the  United  Brethren's  Church,  at 
Bethlehem,  Pa,,  June  2-16,  inclusive,  1858.  Right  Rev.  Joseph  C.  Jacobson, 
Bishop,  and  President,  in  the  chair. 

Report  of  Board  of  Elders. 

y 

Congregations  under  their  care — 3  place,  G  city  and  town,  11  country  ;  total,  20. 

The  German  and  Anglo-American  brethren  at  West  Salem,  111.,  not  agreeing  con- 
cerning the  ritual  and  management  of  temporal  affairs,  had  divided,  each  division 
worshipping  in  a  separate  house,  and  formed  a  General  Board  of  Trustees,  consisting 
of  four  members,  of  which  each  division  has  two,  with  the  minister  as  present.  Un- 
der this  arrangement,  all  is  once  more  harmony. 

The  Enon  (Indiana)  had  united  with  the  Hope  congregation. 

The  small  congregation  at  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  were  in  deep  pecuniary  distress. 

The  West  Salem  (Illinois)  settlement  was  prospering. 

The  Hope  (Indiana)  settlement  had  been  highly  favored.  By  the  sale  of  lots,  suffi- 
cient funds  had  been  raised  to  aid  very  materially  in  the  support  of  the  minister 
and  the  church,  and  to  build,  furnish,  and  endow  an  academy. 

In  Bethlehem,  the  old  church,  the  old  congregation  house,  and  old  children's 
house,  with  their  contiguous  buildings  and  grounds,  had  been  ceded  back  to  tho 
Bethlehem  congregation. 

Two  ordained  ministers,  Charles  Barstow  and  J.  II.  Eberman,  and  one  ordained 
home  missionary,  had  voluntarily  withdrawn  from  the  service  of  the  church. 

The  educational  institutions  of  the  church  were  highly  prosperous.

Note. — Counting  the  Missionaries  of  the  church  in  various  parts  of  the  world,  and 
their  children,  the  membership  of  the  Moravian  Church  reaches  the  sum  of  20,000. 


AMERICAN  BIBLE  UNION. 


REPORT. 

Since  the  last  anniversary,  the  Gospels  by  Luke  and  John  had  been  published. 
The  Gospel  by  Matthew  had  been  thoroughly  revised,  and  was  passing  through  the 
press  as  a  preliminary  revision.  The  Epistles  to  Philemon  and  the  Galatians  had 
been  revised.  Dr.  Bodiger  had  furnished  valuable  notes  and  criticisms  on  the  revi* 
sion  of  Job,  which  would  be  published  with  future  editions  of  that  work. 

The  object  of  the  Society  was  to  procure  and  circulate  the  most  faithful  versions 
of  the  Scriptures  in  all  languages  throughout  the  world. 

Five  hundred  copies  of  the  Society's  edition  of  the  Italian  Testament  had  been 
granted  to  Dr.  Achilli  for  distribution  in  Italy. 

The  Society  lamented  the  death  of  Rev.  Frederick  Crowe,  the  translator  of  their 
edition  of  the  Spanish  Testament,  at  the  very  moment  of  the  completion  of  his  lite- 
rary labors. 

Oyer  $4,000  had  been  collected  and  granted  in  German  Testaments  to  Mr.  Orcken, 
of  Hamburg,  for  distribution  among  the  German  armies  of  Europe. 

The  extraordinary  step  of  sending  one  of  the  Final  Committee  to  Greece,  to  fami- 
liarise himself  with  the  use  of  the  language  of  the  New  Testament  as  a  living  tongue, 
had  been  fully  justified  by  Mr.  Hackett's  experience. 

Applications  had  been  made  to  the  Society  for  aid  in  printing  and  circulating  the 
Scriptures  in  Chinese,  Japanese,  Siamese,  Burmese,  Karen,  Bengali,  and  otht,.  lan- 
guages of  India,  and  various  languages  of  American  Indians  ;  and  the  time  appeared 
to  have  arrived  when  the  Society  should  proclaim  to  the  world  its  readiness  to  aid  in 
every  language,  as  it  should  be  supplied  with  means,  the  circulation  of  the  most 
faithful  versions  of  the  Bible. 

The  experience  of  the  society  confirmed  them  in  the  opinion  that  for  ordinary  pur- 
poses, short  tracts  are  of  more  service  in  propagating  truth  among  the  common  people 
than  larger  publications.  Twenty-four  were  published  and  circulated  during  the  past 
year,  with  visible  advantage ;  and  a  second  series  of  larger  size,  consisting  of  selected 
pamphlets,  had  been  arranged.  These  two  series  furnish  an  effective  revision  litera- 
ture, for  which,  it  was  thought,  there  would  always  be  a  demand,  until  ah  opponents 
were  converted  to  friends.

FOREIGN  BIBLE  SOCIETIES  IN"  1859. 
Great  Britain. 

The  engagements  of  the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society  for  printing  abroad,  ex- 
tend to  France,  Holland,  Belgium,  Denmark,  Sweden,  Finland,  Turkey,  Greece,  In- 
dia, and  China.  In  the  latter  country  to  the  amount  of  50,000  Bibles,  700,000  Tes- 
taments, and  50,000  Mandarin  colloquial  New  Testaments.  The  number  of  its  for- 
eign agents  is  9,  and  its  domestic  8,  including  2  in  London.  A  system  of  colportage 
has  been  extensively  resorted  to  in  many  localities  even  at  home,  and  with  great 
profit,  though  from  its  expensiveness,  the  hope  is  expressed  that  it  need  not  from 
necessity  become  a  permanent  method  of  circulating  the  Scriptures. 

The  distributions  of  Bibles  and  Testaments  for  the  year,  from  the  depot  at  home 
and  those  abroad,' were,  1,602,187  copies;  making  an  aggregate  since  the  society 
was  formed  in  1809,  of  thirty-three  million  nine  hundred  and  eighty-nine  thousand 
nine  hundred  and  forty-six  copies. 

Ireland. 

The  Hibernian  Bible  Society  distributed  the  past  year  82,069  copies  of  the  Scrip- 
tures. To  the  Sunday  School  Society  for  Ireland  were  granted  15,000  Bibles  and 
15,500  Testaments.  In  3,000  schools  were  200,000  children,  instructed  by  nearly 
20,000  teachers. 

France. 

The  distributions  in  France,  through  agency  and  colporteurs  of  the  British  and 
Foreign  Bible  Society,  amounted  for  the  past  year  to  85,836  copies. 

The  issues  of  the  French  and  Foreign  Bible  Society  for  the  same  period  were, 
57,900  Testaments,  a  portion,  however,  were  sold  to  the  agency  above  named. 

Germany. 

Distributions  are  made  more  and  more  extensively  every  year  by  the  agency  of  the 
British  Society  and  the  American,  aside  from  what  is  done  by  the  Prussian  Bible 
Society.  In  no  part  of  Europe  are  distributions  more  hopeful,  though  the  Lutheran 
Church   approves   none   unless  they  contain  the  Apocrypha,  not  issued  by  other 

agencies. 

Holland. 

The  distributions  by  the  Netherlands  Bible  Society  the  past  year  were  38,527 
copies. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  353 

Sweden. 

The  distributions  of  the  Swedish  Bible  Society  the  past  year  were  2,589  Bibles, 
5,829  Testaments. 

The  agency  of*  the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society  have  in  this  time  printed  at 
Stockholm  75,000,  and  have  10,000  Swedish  Bibles  and  30,000  Testaments  now  in 
process  of  completion. 

Norway  and  Finland. 

Distributions  are  highly  encouraging,  both  by  the  native  Bible  Societies  and  through 
the  British  Bible  agency.  An  edition  of  1,000  Bibles  and  10,000  Testaments  were,  in 
course  of  publication  in  Finland. 

Ruzsia. 

In  this  empire  there  is  at  present  but  little  to  encourage  the  friends  of  the  Bible. 
The  late  war  has  made  it  more  difficult  than  before  to  make  distributions.  The  agent 
Of  the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society  at  Odessa,  Mr.  Melville,  is  not,  as  formerly, 
permitted  to  visit  other  places  in  his  good  work,  nor  to  employ  colporteurs. 

Among  the  German  colonies  on  the  Azof,  and  the  Lutheran  on  the  Baltic,  some- 
thing is  effected ;  and  also  distributions  by  the  Petersburgh  agency,  the  past  year, 
amounted  to  12,290  copies. 

In  Switzerland  and  Sardinia 

Extensive  distributions  have  been  made  by  Lieutenant  Graydon,  agent  of  the  British 
and  Foreign  Bible  Society.  The  Lausanne  Bible  Society  is  also  reported  as  active 
and  useful.  M.  M.  Madiai,  who  has  charge  of  the  depot  at  Nice,  makes  the  follow- 
ing report : 

"Through  one  colporteur  he  obtained  a  dissemination  of  some  2,200  copies,  or  an 
increase  of  more  than  300  copies  on  the  sales  of  the  previous  year.  M.  Betti,  of  the 
depot  at  Genoa,  obtained,  through  four  colporteurs,  a  circulation  of  nearly  8,500  copies, 
or  more  than  double  the  number  of  1856.  Through  the  depot  at  Turin,  by  two  col- 
porteurs, and  also  by  its  numerous  friends,  some  2,180  copies  more  were  disposed  of; 
and,  finally,  though  last  not  least  in  importance,  Dr.  De  Sanctis  disseminated,  through 
one  colporteur,  and  in  a  very  short  time,  about  600  copies.  Thus  were  nearly  14,000 
copies  purchased  throughout  the  very  wide  extent  of  country  comprehended  between 
the  Alps,  the  river  Ticino,  and  the  sea  coast !  " 

In  Greece 

Distributions  are  made  in  the  schools  and  otherwise,  to  some  extent,  as  in  former 
years. 

Turkey. 

The  Bible  is  called  for  by  Armenians,  Greeks,  and  even  by  Jews  and  Mahommedans, 
in  a  manner  which  awakens  hope  that  great  changes  for  good  are  there  to  be  realised 
before  a  distant  day.  Letters  from  Rev.  Mr.  Bliss,  agent  of  the  American  Bible  Society, 
are  full  of  encouragement,  as  to  distributions  not  only  in  Constantinople  and  vicinity, 
but  in  Syria,  Greece,  Bulgaria  and  Wallachia. 

Mr.  Barker,  agent  of  the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society,  in  a  letter  to  their  com- 
mittee, writes  in  regard  to  the  Governor  of  the  latter  country : 

"I  have  had  a  long  interview  with  my  old  friend  Prince  Alexander  Ghika,  the 
present  Caimachan  or  Governor  of  Walla chia,  on  business  principally  regarding  our 
society's  work.  You,  no  doubt,  remember  very  well  that  our  first  edition  of  the 
"Wdlachian  New  Testament  was  published  under  the  auspices  of  this  Prince,  who 

23 


354  AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

permitted  his  name  to  be  placed  on  the  title  page,  thus  approving  it,  and  authorising 
its  circulation.  I  had  already  seen  him  twice  before,  but  he  was  so  occupied  that  I 
could  have  no  private  conversation  with  him;  on  this  occasion,  however,  I  had  plent}'- 
of  time  to  enter  fully  on  all  particulars  relative  to  our  work  in  the  Danubian  Provinces 
and  elsewhere.  He  was  much  pleased  to  find  that  the  New  Testament  was  so  readily 
bought  up  in  YVallaehia,  and  that  we  were  printing  another  large  edition  of  the  same 
at  Bucharest.  In  short,  the  Prince  was  so  pleased  with  the  information  I  gave  him, 
that  he  requested  me  to  return  and  dine  with  him;  and  at  the  proper  hour,  sent  one 
of  his  aides-de-camp,  and  a  carriage,  to  conduct  and  convey  me  to  his  palace." 

Two  colporteurs  sent  by  the  same  agent  into  Bulgaria,  disposed  of  3,174  Bulgarian 
Testaments,  and  some  200  more  in  Servian  and  m&clern  Greek,  the  bishop  recom- 
mending purchases. 

India. 

The  cause  of  the  Bible,  in  this  portion  of  the  British  possessions,  is  now,  since  the 
war,  more  hopeful  than  ever. 

The  Calcutta  Auxiliary  Bible  Society  record  with  sorrow  the  death  of  Bishop  Daniel 
Wilson,  who  had  long  been  a  devoted  friend  and  helper  in  their  field.  They  have  as- 
surance, however,  of  a  coadjutor  of  kindred  spirit  in  his  successor,  Bishop  Cotton. 
Preparations  are  being  made  for  large  editions  of  the  Scriptures  in  the  various  tongues 
of  India,  and  for  the  employment  of  colporteurs  to  distribute  them. 


MASSACHUSETTS   BIBLE    SOCIETY.

business  methods,  using  the  regular  book  trade  of  the  country,  so  far  as  is  practic- 
able ;  3d,  to  secure  more  intimate  connection  with  the  churches  and  church  mem- 
bers throughout  the  country ;  4th,  not  to  make  the  missionary  colportage  so  much 
an  agency  for  selling  books,  as  of  doing  good.

AMERICAN  REFORM  TRACT  AND  BOOK  SOCIETY. 

This  Society  had  its  origin  in  an  anti-slavery  sentiment  of  Evangelical  churches, 
and  is  in  connection  with  the  Boston  American  Tract  Society. 

Annual  meeting  September  20th,  1859,  in  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  Cincin- 
nati.    Rev.  John  Rankin,  of  Ripley,  Ohio,  in  the  chair. 

RErORT. 

Increasing  demand  for  the  Society's  Publications. — The  catalogue  embraces  26  bound 
volumes,  and  a  variety  of  tracts  in  the  English  and  German  languages. 

The  plan  of  sending  out  the  publications  on  sale  is  continued,  and  they  may  be 
found  at  150  different  points  between  Boston,  Mass.,  and  Leavenworth,  Kansas,  and 
in  Canada. 

Circumstances  show  that  the  Society's  proximity  to  the  Slave  States  affords  special 
advantages  for  the  circulation  of  its  publications  in  those  States. 

Special  donations  have  been  received  for  books  an^  tracts  to  be  distributed,  espe- 
ciall3r  in  Kentucky. 

The  missionaries  of  the  American  Missionary  Association  have  called  for  more 
books  and  tracts  of  the  Society  than  during  any  former  year. 

The  circulation  of  the  Society's  organ,  The  Christian  Press,  has  been  greatly  in- 
creased, more  than  120,000  copies  having  been  printed  during  the  year. 

The  churches,  have  been  extensively  visited  by  agents,  for  the  purpose  of  explain- 
ing the  objects  of  the  Society,  and  removing  misapprehensions. 

An  effort  had  been  made  for  a  union  or  co-operation  of  the  Society  with  the  Bos- 
ton American  Tract  Society,  but  without  result.

take  the  place  of  the  society's  former  duodecimo  German  Bible,  the  plates  of  which 
are  nearly  worn  out. 

Portions  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  in  the  Mpongwe  language,  West  Africa, 
translated  by  Eev.  Mr.  Walker,  of  the  Gaboon  Mission,  have  been  printed  under 
Mr.  Walker's  personal  supervision. 

A  portion  of  the  New  Testament,  in  the  Cherokee  language,  carefully  revised  by 
Rev.  Dr.  Worcester,  of  the  Cherokee  Mission,  will  shortly  be  completed. 

The  Standard  Edition. 

In  accordance  with  the  resolutions  of  the  Board  reported  last  year,  the  Standing 
Committee  on  Versions  have  been  diligently  engaged  in  the  examination  and  correc- 
tion of  the  Society's  standard  edition.  They  have  completed  the  examination  of  the 
New  Testament,  and  have  advanced  far  with  the  examination  of  the  Old  Testament ; 
and  it  is  expected  that  their  work  will  be  completed,  and  the  plates  of  the  whole 
Bible  altered  for  use  during  the  coming  year. 

Agents. 

There  has  been  a  very  large  reduction  the  past  year  in  the  expense  of  agencies, 
without  any  detriment  to  the  cause. 

The  number  of  agents  employed  at  present  is  38,  one  of  whom  labors  chiefly 
in  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Churches,  and  one  in  Turkey  and  the  East.  The  others 
are  employed  in  advancing  the  interests  of  the  cause  in  a  great  variety  of  ways 
at  home. 

Life  Directors  and  Life  Members. 

The  number  of  life  directors  constituted  the  past  year  is  75,  and  of  life  members 
1,457,  being  an  increase  of  3  of  the  former,  and  a  decrease  of  132  of  the  latter, 
making  a  difference  in  the  receipts  from  this  source  of  $3,510. 

The  value  of  the  books  drawn  the  past  j-ear  by  life  directors  and  life  members  is 
$10,045.95,  an  increase  of  $239.81  over  the  year  before. 

From  the  queries  sometimes  proposed  in  regard  to  drawing  books  by  life  mem- 
bers and  life  directors,  we  infer  that  the  aim  of  the  Managers  in  adopting  this  regu- 
lation is  not  universally  understood.  This  design  was  simply  to  render  the  life  di- 
rectors and  life  members  agents  in  the  benevolent  distribution  of  the  books.  Those 
good  friends  ©f  the  cause  frequently  meet  with  individuals  who  are  destitute,  and 
would  probably  not  be  supplied  by  the  usual  methods.  They  are  often  single  per- 
sons, not  housekeepers;  often  domestics,  or  persons  in  employments  which  keep 
them  out  of  sight  of  the  distributors.  They  may  be  reached,  and  their  want,  in  re- 
gard to  the  Scriptures,  may  be  supplied  by  the  life  members  of  this  Society,  who, 
having  contributed  to  the  funds,  were  thought  deserving  of  this  opportunity  of  pre- 
senting the  Bible  to  the  needy.  It  has  been  sometimes  objected  that  the  wealthy 
use  their  life  memberships  as  a  means  of  furnishing  themselves  or  families  with 
costly  Bibles.  We  are  not  aware  that  this  is  the  case ;  at  least,  not  to  any  extent 
worth  naming ;  indeed,  to  so  small  an  extent,  that  it  is  scarcely  worth  attention, 
and  the  attempt  to  correct  would  only  offend  and  alienate,  and  cost  the  Society  more 
than  it  would  save. 

Gratuitous  Issues. 

Grants  of  books  have  been  made  during  the  year  amounting  to  30,417  volumes, 


363  AMERICAN  CHRISTIAN  RECORD. 

the  value  of  which  is  $9,723.76.  Besides  these,  discounts  have  been  made  to  auxil- 
iaries from  the  cost  price  of  the  books,  amounting  to  $16,197.41.  Grants  have  been 
made  to  life  members  and  life  directors,  as  before  said,  amounting  to  $10,045.93. 

New  Auxiliaries. 

The  number  of  new  auxiliaries  recognised  during  the  year,  and  each  representing 
a  distinct  community  now  for  the  first  time  systematically  engaged  in  the  Bible 
work,  is  fifty-nine. 

The  whole  number,  including  branch  societies  and  committees,  is  between  four 
and  five  thousand. 

Bibles  for  the  Blind. 

The  number  of  volumes  for  the  Blind  issued  the  past  year  is  not  as  great  as  in 
some  former  years.  The  entire  number  is  325  volumes,  of  which  132  were  gratuitous. 
This  being  a  very  expensive  book,  the  greater  care  is  used  in  making  grants;  but 
it  is  believed  in  every  case  it  has  been  given  to  a  worthy  object.  Many  of  the  par- 
ties are  graduates  of  Institutions  for  the  blind,  recommended  by  the  Principals;  some 
are  from  private  life,  recommended  by  responsible  names.  In  one  case  there  was  a 
second  application  from  the  same  party  who  had  received  the  books  3-ears  ago,  and 
had  worn  them  out  by  constant  and  diligent  use.  These  books  have  gone  into  various 
parts  of  the  country,  as  New  York,  Massachusetts,  Connecticut,  Pennsylvania,  Vir- 
ginia, North  Carolina,  Arkansas,  and  Mississippi,  and  for  children  of  colored  persons 
in  Canada. 

These  books,  it  is  well  understood,  are  to  be  placed  again  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Board,  at  the  death  of  the  persons  receiving  them,  and  a  card  to  this  effect  is  pasted 
inside  the  cover.  This  is  designed  to  afford  security  for  turning  them  to  good  account. 

General  Supply  of  the  States  and  Territories. 

Since  tne  resolution  was  adopted  by  the  Society,  in  1856,  in  regard  to  the  re- 
supply  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  the  Board  have  never  lost  sight  of  this  important 
object.  They  have  continually  directed  their  efforts  to  the  attainment  of  the  end. 
The  general  address  which  was  issued  and  plentifully  distributed  among  the  auxil- 
iaries, followed  as  it  was  by  a  circular,  served  to  awaken  general  attention  and  ex- 
cite to  action.  The  societies  manifested  an  earnest  and  cordial  interest  in  the  subject. 
The  Agents  did  not  fail  to  enforce  it  upon  their  consideration.  The  result  was 
soon  seen  in  the  increased  demand  for  books  at  our  depository.  But  in  the  full 
career  of  prosperity  there  came  a  sudden  collapse  in  commercial  and  pecuniary 
affairs  throughout  the  country  that  fearfully  crippled  the  operations  of  our  auxiliaries. 

But  notwithstanding  these  interruptions,  a  great  work  has  been  done :  the  larger 
portion  of  the  country  has  been  canvassed,  and  many  thousands  of  destitute  families 
have  been  supplied;  while  assurance  is  given  that  the  whole  will  be  completed  be- 
fore long. 

Operations  in  Foreign  Countries. 

As  in  former  years,  while  attending  to  the  circulation  of  the  Scriptures  at  home, 
the  Board  have  cheerfully  listened  to  calls  from  other  countries,  and,  to  some  extent, 
have  met  them.  This  has  been  done  in  two  ways:  first,  by  direct  grant  of  books; 
and  secondly,  by  furnishing  funds  to  publish  them  at  different  places  abroad.  Among 
the  books  thus  granted  the  past  year,  are  the  following :

To  the  Hawaiian  Bible  Society,  1,000  copies  of  the  Hawaiian  and  English  Testa-

A  highly  important  foreign  distribution  has  been  effected,  also,  through  Mr.  J. 
Pierson,  agent  of  the  New  York  Bible  Society.  In  addition  to  his  duties  for  that 
society  in  this  city,  supplying  emigrants,  &c,  he  has  been  furnished  by  this  Board, 
in  course  of  the  year,  with  1,546  copies  of  the  Scriptures  in  different  tongues,  for 
distribution  in  foreign  countries. 

Grants  of  Money. 

This  topic  of  publishing  the  Scriptures  in  foreign  countries  has  received  more  than 
ordinary  attention  the  past  year.  In  December  last  an  extensive  correspondence 
was  opened  with  the  auxiliary  societies,  as  already  stated,  reminding  them  that 
though  the  second  general  supply  of  our  own  country  had  been,  for  the  time,  in  a 
good  measure  accomplished,  the  rapid  growth  of  our  population  would  require  con- 
tinued attention,  or  great  numbers  would  soon  be  again  without  the  Scriptures. 
They  were  then  told  that  if,  for  a  little  season,  they  had  less  than  usual  to  do  in  our 
home  field,  there  were  no>o  urgent  calls  from  abroad,  for  means  to  publish  and  circu- 
late the  Scriptures  in  different  tongues  and  countries.  In  many  instances  these  ap- 
peals have  met  with  a  favorable  reply,  so  that  the  Board  have  been  able  to  make  the 
following  grants: 

To  the  French  and  Foreign  Bible  Society  have  been  remitted  $4,000,  to  promote 
distribution  in  the  wide  field  which  it  occupies  in  France  and  Algeria.

GENERAL   SOCIETIES  ESTABLISHED   IN   MOST   OF  THE   DIOCESES. 
i 

Arch  Confraternity  of  the  Most  Holy  and  Immaculate  Heart  of  Mary,  for  the  Con- 
version of  Sinners,  for  the  spiritual  progress  of  congregations. 
Society  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Faith  (Missionary).* 

t  The  great  Missionary  Society  of  the  Church,  to  -which  every  Roman  Catholic  Church  on  the 
earth  contributes.  Perhaps  no  other  Society  in  existence  is  so  well  and  thoroughly  organised.  In 
every  district,  one  person  in  every  ten,  once  a  week,  collects  the  contributions  of  the  other  nine,  and 
hands  them  with  his  own  over  to  one  of  ten  similar  groups,  so  that  one  person  every  week  thus  col- 
lects the  contributions  of  a  hundred  associates.  Ten  more  of  similar  rank  form  a  Division,  one  of 
whom  takes  in  weekly  the  subscriptions  of  each  hundred,  and  forwards  the  amount  to  the  central 
treasury  of  the  Association.  At  least  a  penny  a  week  is  expected  from  each  contributor — a  sum  very 
insignificant  in  itself,  but  when  collected  from  every  person  m  the  Church  throughout  the  world, 
swells  up  to  an  incredible  amount. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD.

Confraternity  of  the  Holy  Rosary,  for  the  support  of  Orphans  and  the  Poor. 

Society  of  St.  Vincent  de  Paul,  for  the  temporal  and  spiritual  relief  of  the  poor. 

There  are  branches  of  these  in  nearly  every  diocese  and  parish  in  the  United 
States. 

There  are  also  innumerable  local  societies  for  furnishing  and  embellishing  churches, 
defraying  church  debts,  sustaining  particular  missions,  helping  students,  sustaining 
orphan,  madgalen,  and  other  asylums,  providing  for  indigent  widows  and  helpless 
old  men  and  women,  protecting  respectable  females  out  of  employ,  etc. 

Local  literary  associations,  well  provided  with  books,  periodicals,  and  means  of 
healthful  and  innocent  recreation,  are  in  course  of  establishment  in  the  leading 
towns  and  cities.

A.  Thomas  Smith,  Secretary. 
T.  B.  Hay  ward,  Secretary. 
Jabez  Fox,  Secretary.

Note. — The  above  table  represents  the  reports  of  Associations  only,  and  is  an  im- 
perfect statement  of  the  statistics  of  the  Church,  which  has,  in  addition,  several 
scattered  societies  and  ministers  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  West.  The  list  of 
ministers  will  be  found  elsewhere. 

It  ought  to  be  added,  that  the  New  Church  is  divided  into  High  and  Low  Church ; 
the  above  representing  the  former  only.  The  numerical  strength  of  the  latter,  in 
societies  and  ministers,  we  have  been  unable  correctly  to  ascertain,  though  under- 
standing- it  to  be  less  than  one-half  that  of  the  branch  connected  with  the  General 
Convention. 


SUSTENTATION  FUND  OF  THE  FREE  CHURCH  OF  SCOTLAND. 

Amounts  in  1859  to  £110,000 ;  giving  to  each  of  the  714  ministers  of  their  Church, 
a  dividend  of  £138,  or  $690,  besides  a  free  house  and  garden.

AMERICAN  NEW  CHURCH  ASSOCIATION— (LOW    CHURCH,    SWEDEN- 

BORG). 

Second  Annual  Meeting  at  No.  20  Cooper  Institute,  New  York,  May  12,  1859.  The 
President,  Dr.  P.  L.  "Wilsey,  in  the  chair. 

REPORT  OF  EXECUTIVE  COUNCIL. 

Gross  receipts  of  the  year,  from  dues,  donations,  and  sales  of  books,  about  $1,300; 
of  which,  after  deducting  $591.35  for  books  and  tracts,  and  $353.24  for  room  rent, 
clerk  hire,  and  fitting  up  the  book  room,  only  a  small  sum  was  left  for  the  usee  con- 
templated by  the  Association.  Of  this  small  sum,  the  largest  portion,  $296.75,  was 
appropriated  to  the  cause  of  colportage. 

The  labors  of  Mr.  Pingree,  colporteur,  had  been  such  as  to  show  that  this  amount 
was  judiciously  expended.  It  is  not  easy  to  estimate  the  amount  of  good  that  would 
ultimately  result  from  Ms  few  months  of  toil  in  disseminating  the  heavenly  doctrines 
through  a  region  of  country  where  they  had  hitherto  been  totally  unknown. 

The  Council  had  also  employed  Mr.  J.  A.  Lamb  as  colporteur  in  Connecticut,  whose 
term  of  service  had  not  yet  expired. 

Satisfied  that  the  system  of  colportage  is  the  best  that  could  be  adopted  for  the 
dissemination  of  the  heavenly  doctrines,  the  Council  urged  upon  the  Association  and 
its  friends,  the  necessity  of  liberal  contributions  for  that  purpose. 

The  Council,  during  the  year,  had  published  an  edition  of  1,000  copies  of  two 
tracts,  one  on  the  Creditability  of  Swedenborg,  and  the  other  on  the  Memory  of  the 
Soul. 

The  organ  of  the  Association,  TJie  Sic-edenborgian,  had  been  enlarged  to  seventy- 
two  pages,  and  the  size  of  the  page  increased.  The  present  number  of  subscribers 
was  637,  an  increase  of  110  since  the  last  report,  while  sixty  copies  were  sent  free, 
and  twenty  others  to  exchanges.  The  Society  hoped  the  Association  and  its  friends 
would  exert  their  influence  in  its  behalf,  and  that  those  whose  subscriptions  remained 
unpaid,  would  be  prompt  in  remitting. 

The  Council  appealed  to  all  who  loved  the  New  Jerusalem,  to  assist  the  Asso«ia- 
tion  in  disseminating  its  docrines,  and  to  uphold  its  efforts  with  their  influence  and 
their  prayers.

SOCIETY. 

Tenth  Annual  Meeting  at  the  Book  Room  in  Cooper  Institute,  New  York,  May 
10th,  1859.     The  President,  S.  L.  Waldo,  in  the  Chair. 

Report  of  Board  of  Managers : 

Indexes  had  been  stereotyped  to  "Divine  Love  and  Wisdom,"  "Divine  Providence," 
"Heaven  and  Hell,  "and  "Conjugal  Love" — 112  pages  in  all ;  the  aggregate  cost  of  which 
was  $231.81.  None  of  the  larger  works  of  Swedenborg,  except  "Arcana  Celoestia," 
published  by  the  Society,  are  now  deficient  in  this  respect. 

New  editions  of  500  each  had  been  printed  of  the  "Apocalypse  Revealed,"  "Divine 
Love  and  Wisdom,"  "Divine  Providence,"  "Heaven  and  Hell,"  "True  Christian  Re- 
ligion," "Conjugal  Love,"  "Miscellaneous  Theological  Works,"  "Four  Leading  Doc- 
trines," and  "Doctrines  of  the  Lord" — the  nett  proceeds  of  which  amounted  to 
$1,394.94,  a  decrease  from  the  sales  of  last  year  of  $83.99. 

In  accordance  with  the  resolution  of  the  last  annual  meeting,  a  slight  advance  had 
been  made  on  the  price  of  the  Society's  publications,  which  made  the  price  of  the 
whole  set  $14.00,  instead  of  $12.80  as  hitherto. 

The  whole  amount  received  during  the  year  for  dues  and  donations  was  $739.50  ; 
of  which  $310.00  was  contributed  especially  for  tho  support  of  the  Depository  at

RELIGIOUS  TRACT  SOCIETY. 

At  the  anniversary  in  Paris,  in  May,  1859,  the  report  of  this  Society  represented 
the  receipts  to  be  nearly  84,000  francs;  the  expenditure,  92,900  francs.  More  than 
a  million  of  tracts  had  been  distributed,  of  which  a  large  portion  had  been  to  pris- 
oners and  soldiers.  The  Society  had  also  begun  the  publication  of  a  new  family 
library  of  books. 

The  Romanists  had  done  much  to  impede  the  Society's  laborers ;  they  having 
recently  formed  an  association,  called  the  Society  of  St.  Francis  De  Sales,  for  tho 
distribution  of  anti-protestant  tracts,  containing  atrocious  slanders  against  the  pro- 
testant  church  and  pastors,  for  the  purpose  of  creating  prejudice  and  obstacles  in  the 
way  of  their  success. 

Fault  was  found  at  the  meeting  with  many  of  the  publications  of  the  Society, 
which,  being  mostly  translations  from  English  works,  do  not  meet  the  want3  of 
French  readers ;  the  too  careless  style  of  tho  publications,  too,  was  censured,  the 
French  liking  only  what  is  carefully  mada.

SUMMARY  OF  REPORT  FOR   1859. 

Foreign  work  confined  at  present  to  five  of  the  principal  departments  of  Southern 
and  Eastern  France,  in  Savoy  and  Algeria. 

It  occupies  thirty-three  stations,  of  which  twenty-eight  are  in  France,  three  in

METHODIST  PROTESTANT  CLERGY. 

Note. — The  following  list  disappoints  us.  We  had  hoped  to  present  our  readers 
with  a  full  Post  Office  list,  but  after  persevering  efforts  we  only  succeeded  in  ob- 
taining the  Ministers  of  twenty-three  Conferences,  without  the  Post  Office  addresses, 
which  we  present  as  better  than  none.     We  hope  for  better  success  next  time.

REPORTS   TO   THE   GENERAL    ASSEMBLY. 

Report  of  C  hurch  Extension  Committee. — During  the  year  the  number  of  Missionaries 
was  21.  The  committee  being  in  debt  had  thought  it  best  not  to  appoint  new  men 
till  the  debt  was  paid,  which  at  length  had  been  accomplished,  the  receipts  being 
larger  than  in  any  previous  year,  and   amounting  to  $10. 

Samuel  Day,  of  the  South  Church,  Milwaukie,  soon  after  his  appointment,  joined 
the  Congressional  Association  of  Wisconsin,  taking  his  church  with  him.  The  com- 
mittee refused  to  pay  him,  and  requested  the  church  to  repay  the  sum  of  $1,000 
granted  to  them,  but  had  received  no  reply  from  Mr.  Day  or  the  church. 

The  Committee  had  been  obliged  to  limit  their  operations,  but  in  view  of  the  vast 
field  they  felt  sure  they  spoke  the  voice  of  a  large  part  if  not  the  whole  of  the  church 
in  asking  the  Assembly  to  take  a  position  on  this  subject,  that  could  leave  no  doubt 
of  the  obligation  of  the  church  to  aid  her  own  brethren  crying  to  her  in  distress  from 
the  West  and  North  West. 

A  Committee  was  appointed  to  ascertain  the  operations  and  relations  of  the  church 
to  the  American  Home  Missionary  Society,  and  to  submit  this  report,  well  authenti- 
cated to  the  next  Grand  Assembly. 

Publication  Cvmm,ittee. — The  report  of  the  Committee  represented  that  the  publica- 
tions of  the  year  had  been  largely  in  advance  of  any  in  the  past,  51  tracts  and  volumes 
had  been  issued,  7.215  copies  of  the  church  had  been  published.  The  Supplement 
and  the  Tune  Book  were  in  course  of  preparation  and  would  be  soon  before  the  pub- 
lic. The  Digest  of  the  Acts  of  the  Assembly  was  ready  and  would  be  published  as 
soon  as  funds  would  permit. 

It  was  hoped  the  churches  would  take  up  a  collection  for  the  cause,  and  that  those 
doing  so  be  permitted  to  order  from  the  Committee  publications  for  their  own  use  to 
the  amount  of  half  their  respective  collections.  It  was  urged  upon  pastors  and  Sab- 
bath School  teachers,  the  duty  and  privilege  of  placing  their  own  publications  of  the 
church  in  their  families  and  Sabbath  School  libraries. 

The  treasurer  reported  as  follows :  Balance  on  hand  at  the  beginning  of  the  year, 
$1,115  90;  donations  from  churches,  $8,588  27;  bequest,  $350  00;  sales,  $6,984  11 ; 
total  receipts,  $17,038  28.  Expenditures,  $16,298  26 ;  balance  on  hand,  $740  02 
—$17,038  28. 

T  e  Church  Erection  Fund. — The  whole  number,  of  grants  during  the  year  was  37, 
amounting  in  all  to  $13,950.  Of  the  37  grants,  8  were  donations,  averaging  $180  00, 
and  29  were  loans,  averaging  $441  00.  Much  permanent  good  had  been  done 
Through  the  fund.  Since  its  organization  it  had  made  28  donations,  aggregating 
$5,250,  and  91  loans,  amounting  to  $37,868,  making  in  all  $43,118.  By  this  aid, 
over  $300,000  worth  of  property  had  been  secured,  and  119  congregations  enabled 
to  worship  God  in  their  house,  free  from  debt. 

The  fund  had  been  managed  with  faithfulness  and  diligence.  The  Presbytery  of 
Harmony,  the  Synod  of  Kentucky,  and  the  Synod  of  the  United  Synod  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  had  each  applied  to  the  Committee,  asking  payment  of  the  sums 
allotted  to  them  in  the  first  apportionment  of  the  Fund.     The  Committee  definitely 


668  AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD. 

replied  that  the  charter  expressly  declares  that  the  Fund  is  to  aid  only  feeble  churches 
in  connection  with  the  General  Assembly. 

The  Presbyteries  of  "Winona,  Iowa  city,  and  Knox,  having  asked  that  the  portions 
of  the  fund  allotted  to  the  different  Synods  might  be  paid  to  the  Synodical  Commit- 
tees for  distribution  at  their  discretion,  the  Committee  replied  that  the  charter  con- 
stitutes the  Trustees  the  sole  custodians  and  managers  of  the  fund. 

Education  Committee. — The  Committee  reported  an  increased  interest  in  educa- 
tion. But  though  candidates  and  contributions  had  increased,  both  had  fallen  short 
of  the  necessities  of  the  Church.  Large  numbers  of  young  men  had  been  converted 
and  a  deeper  interest  felt  in  the  welfare  of  the  world.  The  Committee  had  had  a 
conference  with  the  representatives  of  the  various  local  societies  in  the  bonds  of  the 
Church,  with  the  view,  if  ^  ssible,  of  securing  an  adjustment  of  their  operations  with 
those  of  the  Permanent  committee  of  the  Assembly,  and  though  the  subject  was 
still  attended  with  difficulties,  all  parties  had  been  made  more  fraternal,  harmonious 
and  hopeful. 

Foreign  Missions  — The  Committee  reported  that  various  papers  had  been  laid  before 
them,  viz  :  one  from  the  Synod  of  Minnesota  asking  for  the  securing  of  a  closer  rela- 
tion between  the  foreign  missionaries  of  the  Church  and  the  General  Assembly,  one 
from  the  Presbytery  of  Newark  in  favor  of  forming  Presbyteries  in  the  foreign  field ; 
one  from  the  third  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia  stating  that  one  of  their  members  in 
the  foreign  field  had  been  recommended  by  his  Presbytery  to  propose  to  his  Presby- 
terian brethren  of  the  same  mission,  to  form  themselves  int.'  a  Presbytery — icfused, 
because  it  was  understood  to  be  the  business  of  the  American  Board  of  Commissioners 
for  Foreign  Missions  (through  their  Prudential  Committee)  to  arrange  the  missiona- 
ries and  churches  in  *,hc  foreign  field;  and  one  from  the  Presbytery  of  New  Castle, 
to  secure  the  direct  control  of  the  ministers  of  the  Church  in  missionary  fields. 

The  Committee  suggested  that  the  time  had  come  when,  in  order  to  a  more 
thorough  development  of  the  missionary  spirit,  the  prayers  of  thefr  memorialists, 
enumerated,  demanded  action.  They  asked  not  for  any  cessation  of  the  co-operative 
principle  in  conducting  the  work,  but  simply  for  a  closer  connection  with  it,  by 
means  of  Presbyteries,  whenever  numbers  and  circumstances  will  allow  of  such  a 
course.  The  Assembly  could  not  overlook  the  fact,  that  after  many  years  of  con- 
nection with  the  Foreign  Missionary  department  of  evangelical  labor,  they  had  at 
this  time  but  one  Presbyterian  Church  of  our  connection  in  the  foreign  field.  There- 
fore, it  was  to  be  distinctly  understood,  both  at  home  and  aboad,  that  the  American 
Board  of  Commissioners  for  Foreign  Missions  interpose  no  obstacles  in  the  waj-  of 
the  formation  of  foreign  Presbyteries.  That  a  special  Committee,  Rev.  Albert  Barnes, 
Chairman,  attend  the  next  meeting  of  the  Board  in  Philadelphia,  for  the  purpose  of 
conveying  to  the  Board  the  views  of  the  Assembly.  That  candidates  for  the 
missionary  work  going  out  from  the  Church,  give  their  attention  to  those  fields  where 
Presbyteries  were  or  might  be  formed ;  and  that  the  Synod  of  New  York  and  New 
Jersey  be  empowered  to  receive  foreign  Presbyteries  whenever  constitutionally 
requested  to  do  so  by  foreign  missionaries  of  the  Church. 

State  of  Religion. — Reports  had  been  received  from  but  sixty-five  Presbyteries,  the 
prominent  feature  in  which  had  been  the  great  revival,  whose  results  were  visible  in 
the  elevated  standard  of  piety  in  the  churches,  the  more  general  training  of  the 
young,  the  increased  disposition  of  laymen  to  pray  and  labor  for  the  unconverted, 
the  increase  in  prayer,  the  better  observance  of  the  Sabbath,  and  the  increasing 
number  of  candidates  for  the  ministry.  Commendable  efforts  had  been  made  for 
extinguishing  church  debts,  and  hearty  support  given  to  objects  of  benevolence. 

But  400  pastors  and  a  little  more  than  600  stated  supplies,  in  a  church  whose 
success  depends  largely  on  the  permanence  of  its  ministry,  required  no  comment. 
The  large  number   of  vacant   churches,  and   of  ministers  without   charge,   was  a 


AMERICAN    CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  669 

lamentable  and  alarming  fact.  In  a  number  of  Presbyteries  was  manifested  a  lack 
of  interest  respecting  infant  baptism,  while  in  many  regions  intemperance  was  on 
the  increase. 

Still  the  Church  was  never  in  a  more  hopeful  position,  and  never  possessed  more 
elements  of  strength. 

Miscellaneous. — A  Committee  was  appointed  to  correspond  further  with  the  Free 
Presbyterian  Synod  relative  to  an  organic  union  with  the  Assembly. 

M.  L.  P.  Thompson,  D.D.,  was  appointed  to  represent  the  Assembly  in  the  tri- 
cennary  celebration  of  the  introduction  of  Presbyterianism  into  Great  Britain. 

The  first  Monday  in  January  was  recommended  as  a  day  of  fasting  and  prayer,  for 
the  conversion  of  the  world ;  and  the  last  Thursday  in  February  as  a  day  of  concert 
of  prayer  for  colleges  and  other  institutions  of  learning.

STATISTICS    OF    THE     METHODIST     PROTESTANT    CHURCH    IN    THE 

UNITED  STATES. 

The  government  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  organized  by  a  conference  of 
preachers  exclusively,  and  for  reasons  deemed  by  the  General  Conferences  of  that 
Church  sufficient,  always  resisting  the  admission  of  laymen  into  their  legislative 
assemblies,  gave  occasion  for  the  formation  of  a  Church  assuming  the  above  title. 

A  Convention  assembled  in  the  city  of  Baltimore  on  the  2d  of  November,  1830, 
and  continued  in  session  until  a  Constitution  and  Discipline  were  formed  and  adopted 
for  the  government  of  the  Methodist  Protestant  Church. 

The  great  distinctive  feature  in  this  Church  is  purely  governmental,  and  consists 
in  the  Mutual  Rights  of  Ministers  and  Laymen  in  all  legislative  and  executive  as- 
semblies, which  '•  rights"  being  denied  in  the  Mother  Church  was  esteemed  worthy 
of  a  grand  effort  to  secure  an  independent  organization. 

The  prosperity  of  the  Methodist  Protestant  Church  has  been  of  the  most  gratifying 
character ;  the  area  of  her  active  occupancy  embracing,  at  the  present  time,  every 
State  in  the  Union.  There  are  thirty-four  Conferences  which  hold  their  respective 
Annual  Sessions  within  the  bounds  of  their  own  Districts,  severally. 

Some  of  the  Conference  Districts  are  large  and  wealthy  ;  among  them  may  be 
named  the  Maryland,  Pittsburg,  Muskingum,  Ohio,  Western  Virginia,  Virginia 
North  Carolina,  and  Alabama  Conferences,  which  eight  districts  alone  number 
nearly  fifty  thousand  (50.000)  communicants. 

At  the  3d  General  Conference  of  1842,  there  were  twenty-one  annual  conferences, 
and  53,875  members. 

At  the  4th  General  Conference,  of  1846,  there  were  26  annual  conferences,  and 
63,567  members. 

At  the  5th  General  Conference  of  1850,  there  were  32  annual  conferences  an"* 
64,219  members. 

At  the  6th  General  Conference  of  1854,  there  were  34  annual  conferences,  and 
70,018  members. 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN   RECORD.  679 

At  the  7th  General  Conference  of  1858,  there  were  about  90,000  members,  2000 
stationed  ministers,  1,200  churches,  200  parsonages,  and  $1,500,000  worth  of 
church  property.  Average  increase  per  year  since  the  organization  of  the  church,  is 
3000  mi  abers.

thodist Protestant  is  published  weekly,  edited  by  the  Rev.  E.  Yeates  Reese.  D.D. 

The  Western  Book  Concern  is  located  at  Springfield,  Ohio,  where  the  Western  Me- 
thodist Protestant  is  published  weekly,  edited  by  the  Rev.  A.  H.  Bassett.  The  Methc- 
dist  Protestant  Sentinel  is  published  weekly  at  Fairmount,  Va.,  under  the  patronage 
of  the  Western  Virginia  Conference,  and  edited  by  the  Rev.  J.  E.  P.  Dorsey.  The 
Sabliath  School  and  Missionary  Journal  is  published  weekly  at  Pittsburg,  Pa.,  edited 
by  the  Rev.  Wm.  Collier. 

This  Church  has  a  Home  Missionary  Society  with  its  office  in  Pittsburgh,  and 
grounds  of  operation  mainly  in  the  West. 

Most  of  the  Conferences  have  under  their  supervision  societies  and  funds  secured 
for  the  support  of  the  superannuated  clergymen;  and  in  some  instances  these  funds 
have  accumulated  to  a  large  sum. 

Until  quite  recently,  little  effort  has  been  directed  towards  building  up  societies 
in  the  large  cities,  by  the  pioneers  of  the  M.  P.  Church;  but  of  late,  they  are  obtaining 
permanent  positions  in  nearly  every  large  town  in  the  Middle,  Southern,  and  Western 
States. 

The  literary  qualifications  of  the  ministers  of  this  denomination  are  fast  advancing 
to  as  respectable  a  standard  as  that  of  her  sister  churches. 

The  Methodist  Protestant  constitution  and  discipline  is  one  of  the  most  perfect 
instruments  of  its  kind,  perhaps,  extant.  Its  ecclesiastic  polity  assumes  to  be  based 
on  the  principle  that  gave  inspiration  to  the  constitution  and  general  government  of 
the  United  States.

UNHAPPY  EVENTS  IN  THE  LIVES  OF  CLERGYMEN,  IN  1859. 

Rev.  Dk.  Pomroy,  Secretary  of  the  American  Board  of  Commissioners  for  Foreign 
Missions,  Bostoi  Mass.,  having  been  unhappily  made  the  dupe  of  two  designing 
females,  who  deliberately  took  advantage  of  his  crednlousness  and  position,  to  plun- 
der and  disgrace  him,  was  compelled,  upon  the  discovery,  November  29th.  to  resign 
his  office,  and  enter  upon  the  preparations  for  his  defence. 

Rev.  Dr.  Howard,  of  Chicago,  preached  a  sermon,  winch  was  discovered  to  have 
been  written  by  Dr.  Guthrie,  of  Scotland — In  defence,  Dr.  II.  stated  that  he  obtained 


AMERICAN   CHRISTIAN  RECORD.  681 

it  by  an  exchange  of  manuscripts  with  a  New  York  clergyman,  and  did  not  know  Dr. 
Gutherie  to  be  the  author. 

Rev.  Moses  Chase,  of  Duxbury,  Mass.,  while  holding  a  series  of  meetings  in  the 
Methodist  Church,  gained  the  ill-will  of  a  portion  of  his  hearers,  who,  one  evening 
duriug  the  week,  surrounded  the  house  where  he  was  staying,  and  called  for  him  to 
come  out  and  pray  for  them.  They  were  informed  he  was  not  at  home,  whereupon 
thpy  stove  in  a  panel  of  the  front  door,  and  sullenly  took  their  departure.  The  fol- 
lowing Thursday  night,  as  Mr.  C,  accompanied  by  his  host,  was  on  his  way  from 
meeting,  he  was  assailed  and  insulted,  but  escaped  without  injury.  The  next  even- 
ing he  was  less  fortunate,  a  party  of  ruffians  attacked  him  with  various  offensive 
missiles,  and  brought  a  rail  which  they  vainly  attempted  to  make  him  straddle. 
.After  much  struggling,  he  succeeded  in  breaking  from  the  miscreants  and  gaining 
his  lodgings. 

Rev.  Dr.  Wm.  Fixley,  formerly  of  Grayville,  111.,  was  arrested  at  Salem,  Indiana, 
the  second  week  in  December,  for  producing  an  abortion  on  the  person  of  Miss  Mary 
Lindley,  of  the  former  place,  but  managed  to  elude  the  officers  of  justice  and  effect 
his  escape. 

Rev.  Jacob  S.  Harbex,  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  was  brought  up  for 
trial  on  the  28th  December,  at  Belvidere,  N.  J.,  for  the  murder  of  his  wife,  by  poison. 
As  the  trial  had  been  postponed  at  the  time  of  going  to  press,  we  cannot  of  course, 
record  the  result.

THE  FOLLOWING  ARE  EXTRACTS 


FROM    A   FEW  OF  THE  MANY    FAVORABLE 

NOTICES  OF  THE  PRESS.       I 


» +» ■»» 


From  the  Home  Journal. 

"  We  have  had  opportunities  of  examining  several  works  of  similar  character,  including  those  of 
Gerard,  Bonneville  and  Gordon  Cumming,  but  this  is  certainly  the  most  amusing  and  instructive  book 
of  its  kind  we  remember  to  have  read.  Dr.  Peters,  its  editor,  holds  a  lively  and  graphic  pen  ;  and 
the  most  startling  of  the  strange  incidents  which  he  places  in  relief  before  us,  bear  the  unmistakable 
impress  of  truth." 

From  the  New  York  Commercial  Times. 

"  We  have  all  heard  of  Kit  Carson,  the  intrepid  guide  of  the  far  West,  identified  as  he  is  with  the 
struggles  of  its  hardy  settlers,  the  exploits  of  its  trappers,  the  bero  of  innumerable  adventures  among 
the  Indians.  Tbe  book  will  be  a  welcome  guest  to  our  friends  in  the  country,  who  will  be  able  to 
read  it  without  the  aid  of  their  spectacles.  We  may  also  hint,  for  their  particular  intormation,  that  it 
embodies  thrilling  adventures  and  hair- breadth  escapes  enough  for  not  less  than  a  score  of  novels  of 
the  most  exciting  kind." 

From  the  New  York  Daily  Times. 

"  Kit  Carson  is  a  sort  of  mythical  personage  to  tbe  general  public,  by  whom  he  is  regarded  as  a 
kind  of  Leather  Stocking;  and  no  doubt  some  people  suppose  him  to  be  altogether  a  fictitious  creation. 
But  Kit  Carson,  the  mighty  hunter  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  the  Nestor,  Nimrod,  and  Gordon  Cumming 
of  the  West,  is  simply  a  very  unobtrusive  and  quiet  gentleman  of  middle  age,  residing  in  New  Mexico, 
where  he  discharges  the  duties  of  Indian  Agent  for  the  Government.  His  perlormances  with  his  rifle 
have  been  on  a  much  grander  scale  than  those  recorded  of  any  hunter  of  ancient  or  modern  times. 
On  horseback  and  on  open  prairies  he  is  unquestionably  the  greatest  hunter  living." 

From  the  Philadelphia  Bulletin. 

"  Kit  Carson  is  a  national  character,  the  representative  of  the  pioneer  and  trapper,  the  successor 
of  Boone.  Iu  the  work  before  us,  the  reader  who  loves  wild  life  in  the  West,  which  is  yet  literally 
true,  may  read  his  fill.  It  is  a  careful  biography  of  Carson,  and  as  such,  will  meet  with  vast  popu- 
larity. It  is  handsomely  printed  with  large  type  on  fine  paper,  and  copiously  illustrated  with  excel- 
lent illustrations." 

From  the  Boston  Traveller. 

11  Kit  Carson  has  already  done  things  that  show  him  to  be  not  only  a  man  of  ten  thousand,  but  al- 
most without  a  rival." 

From  the  New  York  Tribune. 

M  The  famous  backwoodsman  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  is  here  portrayed  to  the  life  from  facts  derived 
from  personal  testimony." 

From  the  Worcester  (Mass.)  Spy. 

"  This  volume,  aside  from  the  personal  adventures  of  its  subject,  contains  a  vast  amount  of  useful 
information  concerning  the  almost  unknown  in  which  the  adventures  are  located,  of  the  wild  tribes 
and  strange  animals  that  inhabit  it,  and  of  the  productions  and  curiosities  by  which  it  is  distinguished. ' ' 

From  the  Rochester  Free  Press. 

u  It  is  well  written,  and  portrays  clearly  and  vividly,  and  in  a  soul-stirring  manner,  the  thousand 
and  one  hair-breadth  escapes,  mountain  achievements,  and  acts  of  hunter  heroism  of  which  the  cele- 
brated Kit  Carson  has  been  the  hero." 

From  the  Sentinel  and  Witness,  Middletovm,  Ct. 

M  This  is  unquestionably  one  of  the  most  readable  and  instructive  works  that  has  been  issued  from 
the  press  since  Kane's  Arctic  Expedition." 


NOTICES    OF    THE    PRESS    (Continued). 

From  the  New  York  Herald. 
"  One  of  the  best  worts  of  this  class  that  we  have  ever  met  with  is  that  which  is  now  before  us." 

From  the  Educational  Herald. 

"  A  book  that  will  make  a  sensation — exciting  as  any  romance—true  as  any  history.  Its  hero  is  a 
hero  indeed — bold  In  adventure — matchless  in  courage — he  was  no  less  an  explorer  than  a  hunter— 
sometimes  a  warrior — sometimes  a  guide — in  every  capacity  acquitting  himself  as  a  man.,y 

From  the  Rochester  (N.  T.)  Democrat. 

11  Christopher  Carson,  the  subject  of  this  memoir,  stands  conspicuous,  and  honorable  in  his  promi- 
nence. By  the  side  of  Boone,  who  led  the  white  man's  way  into  Carson's  native  State,  the  Rocky 
Mountain  trapper  and  guide  will  take  hi;-  place.  His  history  and  the  account  of  his  many  strange  ad- 
ventures forms  one  of  the  most  attractive  volumes  of  Biography  extant." 

From  the  Knickerbocker  Magazine. 

"  It  has  been  the  lot  of  the  famous  Kit  Carson  to  serve  as  the  standard  hero  of  many  novels  of 
American  border  and  trapper  life.  At  last  we  have,  from  authentic  hands,  and  in  great  part  from 
his  own  lips,  the  story  of  his  life  and  adventures,  which,  as  if  to  verify  the  stale  adage  that  '  truth  is 
stranger  than  ficiion,'  surpasses  by  an  pa^y  stride  the  fictitious  and  wonder-vending  tales  which  have 
preceded  it.  And  this,  too,  although  it  is  not  difficult  to  discern  upon  almost  any  page  a  something 
unsaid,  for  the  omission  of  which  we  can  account,  by  remembering  his  modesty  when  speaking  of 
his  own  performances." 

From  the  Independent  Democrat  (N.  H.) 

"  Whil^  the  thrilling  and  fascinating  interest  of  a  whole  library  of  fiction  is  condensed  into  this 
single  vnlum°,  the  satisfaction  of  perusal  is  infinitely  enhanced  by  the  pleasing  assurance  that  the 
experiences  therein  set  down,  were  the  real  ones  of  a  real  living  hero." 

From  the  St  Louis  (Mo.)  Democrat. 
"  It  contains  much  valuable  information." 

From  the  St.  Louis  (Mo.)  Republican. 

"  His  sober  habits,  strict  honor,  noble  courage,  and  great  regard  for  truth,  have  endeared  him  to 
all  who  can  call  him  friend,  aid  among  such  may  be  denominated  some  of  the  most  distinguished 
men  whose  names  are  recorded  on  the  pages  of  American  History." 

From  the  St.  Joseph  (Mo.)  Gazette. 

"  It  details  praphically  and  minutely  all  the  leading  incidents  and  thri'hng  adventures  of  that  won- 
derful man,  whose  name  has  become  so  associated  with  peril,  that  its  very  mention  brings  a  thrill  of 
wonderment  or  apprehension." 

From  the  Nyack  (N.  Y.)  City  and  Country 

"  As  a  graphic  and  clear  statement  of  the  history  and  topography  of  the  country  where  he  has  led 
his  busy  life,  the  book  has  high  claims  on  our  estimation."
